Make your unused space into extra living space by installing a Basement Finishing System from Basement Transformation Technologies for the perfect finished basement. The basement environment is different than any other part of your home. Basements are, for the most part, subterranean so are always more humid, a lot damper and prone to moisture and wetness. They also have plumbing and other mechanical equipment that, when covered with drywall, becomes difficult and costly to access. Basement Transformation Technologies knew there had to be a better way to finish your basement than conventional methods or present basement finishing systems on the market today. Our Basement Finishing, industry leading in-house design engineers and specialists designed a patent pending basement finishing system considering the wet basement with mold, mildew and moisture concerns.

The finished basement walls are also designed to be removed for access to your foundation and plumbing and when in place offer amazing sound and insulation capabilities. Why have a Basement Transformation Technologies Finished Basement rather than conventional construction? What is the difference between having a Basement Transformation Technologies Finished Basement as opposed to other finishing methods? Appearance is the most significant reason that customers choose a Basement Transformation Technologies Finished Basement The appearance of the wall panel system is clean, crisp and looks like it belongs in the area. It also gives an air of sophistication to the newly finished basement. It is a cheerful topic of conversation when someone walks down into the newly completed Basement Transformation Technologies Finished Basement. This is a specialty product, utilized for this special environment (the basement). Due to the basement being underground (subterranean), it is necessary to have special products on the walls, ceilings and floors as opposed to typical construction products or methods. The appearance of this area is very important and having the beautiful, elegant design of the wall panels, ceiling and floor greatly enhances the look and character of the basement. The crown molding has an age-old design with a modern air of sophistication. The 3 ½” crown molding gives a striking and dramatic look to the finish. The baseboard molding also affords a beautiful and finished detail to your newly finished environment. Comfort: This system is a solid panel construction with a polystyrene thermal core providing a look unparalleled in the industry. It also provides exceptional insulation compared to other types of insulation and, of course, over standard drywall, blue board or plaster.

Mold and mildew can be a serious problem in basements and mold feeds on organic materials. Our basement panels are made from entirely inorganic materials and are treated specifically for mold and mildew reduction. Breathable: Our breathable feature behind the walls in conjunction with the germicide that is applied makes us a leader in the industry - resisting mold and growth on the front and back of the panel.

Determining how your newly finished space will be used is key. How can you design that space to make it efficient and to offer a greater resale value? Currently our design incorporates two available colors (Snowflake and Sandy Beach). Our systems are fully paintable, although most customers find the two offered colors to be very appealing. What happens if I don’t like the available colors? Basement Transformation Technologies offers a snow-flake white color that can easily be adjusted to the Homeowner’s specific color needs. Can I create multiple rooms in my newly finished basement? Yes, Basement Transformation Technologies has the advantage of designing the newly finished basement in multiple creative ways. Our unique panels are excellent for the exterior foundation wall, creating a high thermal barrier to keep warmth or coolness in the finished basement. Solid, finished panels on both sides are available for those Homeowners desiring multiple rooms. The acoustic quality in the new space will far surpass that of standard sheetrock or plaster walls. In a finished basement, you can create many different types of rooms: an entertainment area, playroom, game room, exercise room, library, work space, shop and much more. Bathrooms or kitchens can be added; storage areas utilized; and ugly utilities can be hidden giving you the full effect of an attractive finished environment. What do I do if my foundation walls are leaking or my basement is damp? If you have a pre-existing problem in your basement, our thoroughly trained technicians will explain all of the options available to you. We have a sister company, Basement Technologies, that specializes in basement waterproofing and in many cases, structural repair. We want to make sure that the foundation walls are waterproofed and there is no leaking prior to installation of your finished basement. A full analysis will be done prior to the construction or even before the estimate. This is a part of our basic service to you - a comprehensive and free evaluation of the basement to make sure that every potential issue is addressed prior to the commencement of the construction. We will recommend ways to repair the problems that are pre-existing and a way to bring the basement finishing project to a successful completion. The key in having a Basement Transformation Technologies basement finishing system is to be able to reach the foundation wall under any and all circumstances. If there is a problem behind the wall, the wall panels are easily removed by taking the crown molding, base molding and T-Connector off and simply removing the panel to address the issue behind the wall. These inspections can be done at anytime, even by the Homeowner. Of course, if you prefer to have Basement Transformation Technologies come out to do annual wall inspections, this can be contracted at the time of the installation. Will the Basement Transformation Technologies basement protect the basement from mold? Our Basement Transformation Technologies special wall panels are treated with Microban on the front and germicide on the back. They also have a special breathing feature and have a high resistance to mold growth. Our wall panels will limit the conditions (within our control) that can cause such mold growth. There is no possible way that anyone can guarantee that mold will not ever grow. However, having the proper building materials and having the proper humidity and water issues addressed prior to construction is crucial in the fight against mold growth. We will help insure that any mold growth that can occur will be kept to an absolute minimum. What are the financial implications of finishing the basement? On average, if you waterproof and finish the basement, the return upon sale of the house is 110% of the initial investment. Therefore, it is safe to say that having a finished basement in your home is the highest return for a remodeling project on the market today.
