Win Gold With Your Basement Walls

It’s a snowy and wet February day and you’re sitting in your half-finished basement with your friends and family watching the Olympics. You’re flipping between hockey and figure skating when you start to notice that the room is getting cold and water is dripping down from the top of the walls.  You immediately take a scan of the basement when you realize that all your walls are damp, stained, chalky and just downright ugly.

You think to yourself, “What is happening? How did I let it get this bad down here?” You’re are sitting on the couch hoping that no one else notices the stained, ugly walls when you remember that your neighbors down the street just got their basement walls redone with Ayers Basement Systems and they look beautiful!

All of our basement wall panel systems stop water vapor from coming through the walls and resist mold and mildew. They create a cleaner, brighter appearance while insulating and waterproofing your walls!

Here are three gold medal options to fix those damp ugly walls:

1)   ZenWall Paneling

The ZenWall insulated panels are the simplest way to create a dry, clean, finished look on your basement walls. The revolutionary basement paneling system is a ¼ inch thick encapsulated fiberglass core with a reflective foil vapor barrier on the backside and a decorative vinyl finish on the front side.  ZenWall paneling works best with a perimeter basement waterproofing system to waterproof the basement wall and to stop vapor from coming through the wall into the basement air. To top it all off, the finish on the ZenWall looks great for a fraction of the price of redoing your entire basement!  It makes a huge difference in what your basement looks like and how it feels to spend time there.

2)   BrightWall Paneling

The BrightWall system uses semi-rigid white plastic panels installed on your basement walls with drilled in white fasteners. It will never come off your walls no matter how much dampness comes through! The paneling system is 100% waterproof and washable. BrightWall drains any water leaks down behind it to the perimeter drainage system without you ever knowing it. It also stops water vapor from coming through the walls and evaporating into your basement. BrightWall looks great and makes the basement bright and dry!

3)   CleanSpace Wall System

CleanSpace is a perfect solution for lining stonewalls in your basement. Stonewalls are not flat making them bad candidates for ZenWall and BrightWall paneling.  CleanSpace is perfect for you if you are looking for an easy way to upgrade your walls while also protecting them from the unwanted water. The heavy and durable plastic liner provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement. With its 25-year warranty from rips or tears, you can be sure it’s strong enough to do the job!

Keeping your basement walls protected will keep your entire basement dry and secure. Next time your family and friends gather in your basement you won't have to worry about ugly, damp walls letting cold outside air or water in!
