For starters, there are two types of insulation included in the walls of the Basement Finishing System™:
- Thermal insulation – This layer of thermal insulation is important because it helps cut down on energy waste, which helps keep the basement at a consistent, comfortable temperature all year long. As a result, you’ll be able to transform your cold, dingy basement into a spare bedroom, mother-in-law-suite, or other living quarters without hesitation.
- Acoustic insulation – The acoustic insulation included in the basement renovation is sound absorbent, which helps to ensure that noise from the basement is less likely to disturb everyone else in the home. This insulation may even improve the overall acoustics of the basement, making it particularly well-suited for a game room or home theater.
Another advantage to the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® is the construction of the basement walls. In the event that you need to access the home’s foundation, for example, in order to make emergency repairs, you won’t have to worry about damaging your finished walls. That’s because the walls of the renovation can be conveniently and easily removed to provide the access you need. Then, once the repairs are finished, the walls are simply put back into place as if nothing happened. The trim can even be removed to hide electrical components if you’re concerned about clutter.
As you can tell, there is more to the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® than meets the eye. To learn more about finishing the basement in your Wellesley, MA, home, use the contact form below and schedule a consultation.
