One of the things that sets the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® apart from other basement remodeling methods is that it was designed with the basement in mind. As a result, it comes with numerous features that are optimized for basement environments. For instance, the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® is:
- Thermally insulated – A layer of built-in insulation helps inhibit heat flow and can even lead to energy cost savings of up to 25 percent*.
- Acoustically insulated – Acoustic insulation within the basement walls helps improve the overall acoustics of the basement and absorbs sound so that you don’t have to worry as much about noise from the basement disturbing the rest of the home.
- Intuitively designed – The basement walls are removable, allowing immediate access to the home’s foundation, plumbing, and wiring should the need arise; the trim is also removable, making it easy to conceal electrical components.
- Durable – The Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® is dent- and stain-resistant, helping resist wear and tear.
- Breathable – The walls of the Basement Finishing System™ are breathable, which means they resist the growth of mold and mildew**.
