If you are planning a basement remodeling project, you may want to speak with some of your friends and neighbors about the trials and tribulations they have experienced with their finished basements. Hopefully you can learn from their mistakes so your new space will be warm and welcoming year round. You�ll probably find that they�ll advise you to choose a basement remodeling method that offers the features outlined below.
Protect Your Space Against Mold and Mildew
Basements are especially prone to mold and mildew infestation since they are dark, damp spaces. If you have ever spent time in a basement that smelled musty, then it probably had significant mold damage lurking behind its walls. You can protect your basement against mold and mildew by choosing a finishing product that is specially designed to inhibit growth. Unlike drywall, these methods are made from breathable materials that make them inhospitable to these icky fungi.
Do Not Restrict Your Access to Certain Components of Your Home
Unfortunately, finishing a basement sometimes keeps a homeowner from accessing piping, wiring, and the home�s foundation. In the event that these components ever require repair, you may need to tear out some of your basement�s walls. Or, you could install a basement finishing method that features easily removable walls that provide convenient access for certain repairs. While these methods may cost a little extra up front, you will probably find that they will pay for themselves if you ever need to make a foundation, electrical, or plumbing repair.
Make Sure Your Basement is Comfortable Year Round
Basements can get downright chilly during the winter months. Unfortunately, some basements get so cold that they are simply unusable during certain months of the year. What good is a finished basement if you can only use the space some of the time? You can ensure that your basement is warm and toasty by choosing a method that has built-in thermal insulation. What�s more, the added insulation can actually help you keep your monthly energy bills at a minimum because you will be able to keep your basement at a comfortable temperature without needing to run your HVAC unit as often.
Keep the Noise Contained Within the Basement
If you plan to create a home theater or game room, you will want to make sure that noise from the basement does not disrupt family members on the home�s upper levels. You can easily do this by choosing a basement remodeling method that has built-in acoustic insulation. As an added benefit, acoustic insulation can also enhance sound within the basement, making for the ideal home theater.
