The Benefits of a Finished Basement
Right there – under your own house – is a dream just waiting to be realized. Perhaps a place for the guys where they can shoot some pool, watch the game, or just enjoy a cold beer. An additional bedroom so your children won’t have an excuse not to bring the grand kids over. A study just waiting for you to look distinguished, sitting at the desk. A (sound-proof) play room for the kids, keeping those rambunctious sleep-overs away from your bedroom. Your dream is somewhere underneath the air ducts and pipes, between the cinder block walls, and above the concrete floor. And it’s time for that dream to become a reality. Finishing your basement will give you the extra space you need to do the things you love. But there are other benefits as well: A finished basement can raise the value of your home. Whether you decided to make it a bedroom, a den, or a living room – refinishing the basement will add usable living space to your home, potentially raising its value on the market. Since finishing your basement requires some attention first to waterproofing, previous water damage, and other structural issues; addressing these issues now may help ward off the need for more expensive repairs down the road. A well-insulated finished basement can help lower utility costs. Basements stay cooler, so during the summer, your family can retreat to a naturally cooler room of the house instead of turning up the air conditioner, saving you money. During the winter, the insulation will prevent heat from escaping. When the time comes to finish your own basement, here are some of things to keep in mind in order to ensure that your home stays safe, that your new room is comfortable and your new basement will last for many years to come. Insulation. While a bonus in the summer, the natural tendency of your basement to cool can be a downfall in the cold winter months. As previously mentioned a good basement wall insulation system will keep the heat inside and allow little to escape. Waterproofing. It is necessary to waterproof your external walls prior to remodeling. However, sometimes leaks happen. As you’re thinking about what product to use, keep in mind the possibility of leaks. Such leaks will cause mold, which can be harmful to your family. Acoustics. Being sure to choose a wall that softens the echoes common to basements is another thing to keep in mind. No matter how you use your new basement, noise from other rooms and echoes within the room can be a distraction and take away from fully enjoying your new room. When it comes to insulating your basement, of course we recommend The Cozy Wall System. This system uses 4 ft completely framed, insulated, and waterproof panels to quickly finish your basement. This system will easily make insulating and framing your basement a weekend endeavor. While many hands make light work, a single person could handle this job. Furthermore, it is flame retardant, mold resistant, acoustic resistant, and light-weight which makes it perfect for easy set-up. There are many features that make this system an obvious choice.
