Finishing your basement walls
Filed Under Home Improvements, Home Interiors, Home maintenance, Walls & Maintenance
We have seen for generations, how unfinished basements have been used for storage and utility rooms by owners. With the prices escalating and homes getting smaller in sizes, it is paramount to adequately use any space that comes our way. How do we plan to do it in terms of the basement? We just need to finish the basement walls. This should be done methodically though.
For any moisture present in the basement, a professional must be considered for eliminating seepage.
Measure the amount of drywall and furring strips that may be required to raise the basement walls. Furring strips should further be shimmed to create tableland for the dry wall.
Insulation planes must be placed along with the vapor barriers. The former increases insulation and subsequently enhances the R- value of the basement.
Drywall should be lastly cut and screwed to complete the basement finishing.
