The materials you use in your basement finishing project does matter. Organic materials absorb moisture, causing them to rot. This leads to musty odors, allergies and asthma problems, as well as other toxic effects. That’s why Energy Swing uses all INORGANIC materials for our Total Basement Finishing (TBF).
EverLast Basement Wall Paneling
This Lifetime Low-Maintenance System will never get moldy, will never rot and won’t get ruined by a flood or leak (even if the water is a foot deep for a week!) The continuous unbroken R-15 insulation layer will never need painted. In addition to it’s low maintenance, you can even hang things no matter how heavy. These walls require no wood studs and won’t dent like drywall. The washable panels are made for basement environments and provide a clean look!
ThermalDry ELITE Plank Flooring
The luxurious wood plank look is totally inorganic. This means it will never absorb moisture, never buckle, never get moldy and will never rot! This is because the underside of the planks have raised pegs that prevent water vapor from getting trapped and a thermal break from the cold concrete floor. The plank flooring comes in four beautiful woodgrain finishes, giving you a fully customizable look.
Inorganic Suspended Tile Ceiling or Paint Option
Rich, three-dimensional ceiling tiles provide a bright white & clean appearance to your basement space. The inorganic panels will not curl or sag overtime! There’s no need to worry if you have low clearance either. Another option is a clean black paint finish, which gives the illusion of more height and hides the pipes and electrical work. Additionally, the panels are removeable so it allows for convenient access to ducts, electrical cords and plumbing.
Another great feature is that rather than commercial 2’x4′ tiles, we install a grid of 2’x2′ recessed tiles. These look so much more elegant in a basement space.
