A basement remodeling project essentially provides the opportunity to create virtually any type of space imaginable. Once the walls are finished, ceiling tiles are installed, and flooring laid, you have a blank canvas that can be transformed into anything your heart desires. Perhaps you�ve always dreamed of running your own small business? Your newly remodeled basement could serve as your office space. Or maybe you�re serious about physical fitness and want to use your basement as your own private gym? The possibilities are virtually endless.
Out of all the options available to them, many homeowners choose to transform their unfinished basements into deluxe home theaters. If this idea sounds appealing, then you may want to take the following factors into consideration:
Think about soundproofing/acoustically insulating your basement � No home theater is complete without a surround sound system. Unfortunately, family members on your home�s upper levels may not appreciate the disruption of the noise coming from the basement. You can mitigate this problem simply by soundproofing your basement. Acoustic insulation also provides the benefit of enhanced sound, which can be especially important since basements tend to echo.
Take measures to prevent the growth of mold and mildew � No one wants to spend time in a musty, moldy environment, and it would be a real shame for all your hard work to go to waste simply because your home theater has an awful stench. While the smell of mold is certainly unpleasant, it can actually have more detrimental effects in the form of health issues. There are some basement remodeling products on the market that are made from breathable, inorganic materials that don�t provide mold and mildew with the food source they need in order to thrive. Traditional basement finishing methods, on the other hand, typically require the use of paper-backed sheetrock, which provides the perfect food source for these pesky fungi.
Think ahead with regard to future home repairs � Many of the home�s most essential components can be accessed through the basement. We�re talking the home�s foundation, its plumbing system, and even its electrical system. While we all hope that these components never need to be accessed for repair or inspection, the fact remains that, at some point, they could develop issues that need to be addressed. If you use drywall or other semi-permanent materials to finish your basement, then you may need to undo much of your hard work just to address a leaky pipe. Fortunately, some of the basement remodeling products on the market feature removable walls. Rather than tearing out a wall (or creating an access hole that will eventually need to be filled in), you can simply snap or slide a wall out of place to expose the components that require repair. Once your repair has been made, the wall can be put right back into place.
These are only a few of the factors that you should consider when remodeling your basement. To make sure that you choose a basement finishing method that addresses the issues that concern you most, consult with a contractor in your area.
