Considerations When Finishing Your Basement

Your contractor will first install basement finishing and remodeling products to form a barrier between the cold, damp basement surfaces and your finished basement living space.  Your walls should consist of solid, free-standing cement boards and hard foam insulation. This will allow you to attach shelves, cabinets, pictures or a plasma TV anywhere on them without needing to find a stud.  

However, please note that soft finished insulated basement paneling will not be able to support this.  Soft board insulated basement walls will make an inferior partition if you’d like to build a basement bedroom and/or a basement bathroom. 

Basement windows and egress windows should have a double-paned, low-E glass. These windows will also need a vinyl frame for optional home insulation and soundproofing.  

A drop ceiling is another great way to soundproof and absorb noise between your finished basement and the floors above.  Finished basement floors should be laid down so they block water from the basement floor. Such floors should not be vulnerable to rot or support mold growth and they are not as cold as the concrete basement’s foundation floor.  All finished basement surfaces should be resilient to water damage and have a class-A fire retardant rating.

ABConstruction provides basement finishes that utilize the best mold-water-resistant, and fire-retardant products on the market.  We use products that come with a satisfaction guarantee and are made to last for many years.  So be sure to contact us for a basement finishing estimate today!
