Basement Finishing
After we waterproof your basement we offer some great finishing products. We
offer brightwall and zenwall paneling that channels water away from your wall
and send it to your sump. Our water resistant, carpeted and hardwood ThermalDry
flooring will knock your socks off! Please choose what product interests you
below for more information.
| Brightwall is a
revolutionary new paneling system that is designed
specifically to be placed in a basement. Brightwall is
designed to channel water and take the abuse that a basement
often gets. |
From This
To This |
BrightWall basement wall panel is a
semi-rigid white plastic panel system installed on the basement wall to
drain water, stop water vapor, and brighten your basement space! Secured
with drilled-in white fasteners, the basement wall panels will never
come off of your walls, unlike basement wall paint, no matter how much
dampness comes through.
If your basement walls leak water, the BrightWall basement wall paneling
will drain any water leaks down behind it to the perimeter drainage
system (WaterGuard) -- without you ever knowing it. The basement wall
panel also stops water vapor from coming through the walls and
evaporating into your basement.
Most of all BrightWall provides a clean, mold
resistant, bright, semi-finished look that
really dresses up your unfinished basement! The bight white wall panel
looks great and makes the basement much brighter with the available
lighting. We do not recommend painting BrightWall basement wall panels.
It is the best looking and most durable of the three wall system
options. If your basement will remain unfinished, and you want the
nicest look possible, this is the system for you. Not to be
confused with Owens Corning basement finishing system. Ours is
faster and easier for basements and you may be entitled to energy
credits for the energy tax credit remodel. Bob Vila speaks about
the product with Basement Systems Inc. Remodel basement and
remodeling ideas can be seen throughout the rest of the site and don't
forget about a possible energy credit. |
A mold resistant, basement waterproofing
drainage system keeps the basement floor dry – but it
doesn't do anything to make basement walls dry or look
better.
Paint and coatings can flake and fall off. Wood can rot and
grow mold. Both treatments are not suitable for basement
environments. Cold, damp, concrete walls, moldy drywall, or
chipping paint is not what you want in your basement! |
| The revolutionary new
ZenWall Basement Paneling System is the answer. ZenWall is a
¼” thick encapsulated fiberglass core with a reflective foil
vapor barrier on the back side and a decorative vinyl finish
on the front side. It is used with a perimeter basement
waterproofing system to waterproof a basement wall, and stop
water vapor from coming through the wall into the basement
air. |

The finish on ZenWall
looks great – as great as you can get without doing a full basement
finishing project – and is a fraction of the price. It makes a huge
difference in what your basement looks like and how you feel like when
you're in your basement!
You will love what
ZenWall panels do for your home!
ZenWall panels can be installed with a basement waterproofing system to
direct wall leakage into the waterproofing system, or it can be
installed in a dry basement to make the walls look great!
The inorganic materials
that make up ZenWall – fiberglass, foil and vinyl, are all inorganic and
will not rot or support mold growth – ZenWall is perfectly designed for
a basement!
ZenWall can make up to a 10 degree difference in the surface temperature
of the wall, adding comfort and saving energy.
ZenWall ‘tucks’ neatly into WaterGuard (Basement Systems’ patented
perimeter drainage system) to drain wall seepage away.
Aside from all of these benefits, ZenWall panels can be installed in any
basement to make your walls |

thermaldry flooring in wood finishes so be sure to ask your
salesman about all the available colors |

This basement floor system turns a
cold, damp, hard concrete floor into a dry, comfortable floor suitable
for carpet.
There is no organic material (wood) in the ThermalDry® Basement Floor
Matting System, so it will NOT support mold growth! This is a key
benefit over any other system available!
One of the differences between basement space and first floor space is
the floor itself. It is the surface we are in contact with most. The
floor of the main level of our homes is wood with air space below it.
The floor of our basement is dense, hard concrete. Because it sits on
the damp, cool (55º F) earth below, it is cold and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, concrete is porous and allows water vapor to pass through.
This moisture makes it feel even colder, causes carpet or other floor
covering to rot, allows mold to grow, and causes the basement to smell
musty. People with asthma & allergies may not be able to spend time in a
basement like this. It's a problem that must be solved if you want a
comfortable space in your basement.
The ThermalDry® Basement Floor Matting System is a specially engineered
polypropylene, 17" square tile, which is installed "tongue & groove" on
the floor. Unlike systems that use wood, the ThermalDry® plastic
membrane is totally water and vapor proof. The unique grid design on the
bottom of the tile creates an air space that insulates the floor, and
does not cause water vapor to condense. The installation takes away only
3/8" of precious ceiling height in the basement, instead of 4" for other
methods of dealing with the problem.
The air space creaed by the ThermalDry® system offers an insulating
quality, because your carpeting is not in contact with the cold
concrete. The finished floor is warmer, so summertime condensation
forming on cold floor surfaces is greatly reduced or eliminated. |
