known about Remodeling your basement


When a basement is remodeled it potentially will need the same infrastructure as the rest of the house to some amount. By this I mean wall construction, electrical, flooring, and in many cases, plumbing, windows.
Your exterior walls (the ones on the outside of the house, not the interior partition you will likely be building) must be well insulated. A regular method of framing these walls is using furring strips rather than studs. They are thinner than conventional studs so you will save money here. On concrete walls they can be attached either with a powder actuate tool or by nailing them with cut nails. Then you just hang your sheet rock or paneling on them.
