Looking to make their Basement Beautiful in Montpelier, VT
Challenge
The customers in Montpelier, Vermont were in the process of remodeling their basement. They were in search of a solution for their cold walls. They contacted the experts at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems at 1-800-DRY-TIME and expressed their needs to one of our System Specialist and Master Carpenters.
Solution
After talking to the team at Northern Basements the customer decided to go with Northern Basments' Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels. The Basement To Beautiful™ panels have been designed with SilverGlo™ insulation -- an expanded polystyrene foam insulation. SilverGlo™ is created with a unique graphite infusion process that improves its insular ability by an incredible 24% over comparable foam insulation products. When finished with a wall paneling, the basement insulation will meet International Code Requirements, with an R-13 insulation rating. Our basement wall insulation is created with inorganic materials so that it will never support the growth of mold, mildew, or rot. There's no wooden studs, drywall, or fiberglass to grow mold. Instead, the system is designed to attach directly to your basement walls. Metal studs are integrated with the foam -- and do not touch the concrete basement walls through the foam. The unique stud design allows Basement To Beautiful™ panels to avoid a major design flaw of traditional studs. Typical stud designs require the insulation layer to be broken at intervals to allow for the studs to be built. At these points, studs made with thermally conductive materials will transfer heat from your home to the cold concrete walls. In the case of Basement To Beautiful™ panels, the studs leave 2" of uninterrupted insulation behind them, so they don't compromise the thermal blanket on your basement walls. The studs will never touch these walls, and this heat transfer never occurs! To save our customer time and hassle, for when they finish remodeling, electrical chases are designed directly into the Basement To Beautiful™ system. This way, there is no need for an electrician to come in to rough in the wiring, then return to complete the job later. It can all be done in one step after the finished panels are installed.
