Finishing
your Basement - Lighting Considerations
To make your finished basement cozy, warm
and comfortable, the number and kinds of lights to install is key. In addition,
consider natural lighting. Can additional windows be installed and will they be
appropriate for the finished space?
Finishing
your Basement - Bathrooms and Pump-Up Systems
Installing a Bathroom in a finished basement
remodeling project can be a challenge, particularly if a pump-up system is
required.

It is important you meet with a plumber
before you start any work, as they will have many questions and requirements for
your bathroom. Potentially the most onerous aspect of installing a Bathroom may
be the removal of some of the cement flooring. This is a very dusty and
messy job!
Also consider heating. Does the existing furnace have the capacity to support
the additional space of your finished basement? If not, you will need to consider putting in a bigger
system or creating a secondary heating system. |
Finishing your Basement - Moisture Prevention and Mitigation
Finally, and probably the most important aspect to consider when planning,
and finishing your
basement remodeling project, is dealing with
moisture. A finished basement will quickly loose its charm if water problems
create mold and mildew. Basement floors and walls should be sealed and insulated
to reduce moisture content in the basement. Even with these precautions, a
dehumidifier may be required.
