I do commercial construction. We use Z firring and foam. Have used it since the 90s
What happens if I lean on one of the walls and one of the panels falls back towards the cinder block basement wall and cracks the mud job you did?
Can you mount heavy things (large TV) to them? Lags wouldn't have anything to go into and I don't know how much I'd trust a large toggle bolt to stay tight on foam.
Would moisture (warmer air from inside) find it's way behind the panel and in the gap between the concrete and the back of the panel.... causing condensation to drip? Would it be better to have a 2" foam layer pressed against the concrete, behind this dri-core panel? Overkill perhaps, but even better and safer? And/or a french drain on the perimeter?
These panels are $144/panel in the Northeast. That's insane. I don't see why I can't make my own 4x8x8 panels for way less. And if I frame the walls I don't need the OSB for stability. It's a no-brainer.
$169/panel where I'm at in the NW.
Or pay someone $200 per 4x8 to finish it
@@1993JosephS That's a good point! The cost isn't too bad when you look at it that way.
5/8th drywall, $26
Promax R-13 $56
Wood maybe $60
+ labor
I own a basement waterproofing company and have been in the business for 25 yrs. I use pvc or plastic panels with dividers and corners. It's paintable and I drop the bottom below the concrete into the gravel then cement. It looks like a new basement. 1/16 thick and secured with rivets. Everybody has seen the restaurant bathroom with the plastic walls. That's it! Now it's waterproofed and beautiful. $25 per sheet from home depot, $10 for 50 rivets, and the dividers and corners are $3/ pcs. You're welcome!
@@jaybutts5992 Awesome! Thank you for the advice. I'll look into this.
Why "no multiple coats of plaster"? The beveled edges are great for corners, but for straight walls, regular drywall has a smaller gap to fill. If regular drywall requires tape and multiple coats of 'mud', why would it be different rom Dricore?
Right but how would you ever tell when your basement wall is damaged or leaking?
Super Expensive!
Would love to see a price comparision breakdown, using these panels vs tradtional framing/insulation/drywall.
Hello Mark! Cost is somewhat higher overall for the panels. It's more for materials, but less for labour. That said, I've seen so many moldy basements that make people sick, and the cause is mold growing in fibre insulation in walls. There's no point in saving a bit of money on a basement, only to create a nasty mess down there.
Thanks for watching my videos!

@@baileylineroad insulation in basements is something I never understood. I'm in ohio and our frostline is 12 to 24 inches below grade. The ground is a natural insulator. All insulation does is make concrete sweat! It's like a cold glass of water on a warm summer day. It will condensate naturally. I would never recommend insulation on a finish in a basement.
If basement (new ) came with studs & bats would you pull the bats and use Drycore instead? Want it done correct for lasting quality?
What is behind the studs and bats? I also recommend foam board as a first layer.
What about RockWool products? I have seen many fires in homes with foam insulation go up in flames, and the kinds of heat and toxic fumes put off by that stuff give me the Willys...
What about fire rating?
panel cost is insane
Foam. Okay but just in the basement. That's it. Don't do it anywhere else because ..it's like you wearing a polyester suit
Never mold and mold resistant do not mean the same thing. Nice try!
Biggest waste of money is finishing a basement IMO
the presence of the wood and drywall makes this a TERRIBLE solution. how are you an expert? what happens when the exterior footing drains silt and the basement floods???
Good Morning!
You're right to be concerned about wood, but in the case of these panels the wood is minimal, the entire panel is held away from the wall, and the system is tolerant of small amounts of moisture. That's really all you can expect in a basement wall situation. It's vastly superior to the wood-frame-and-batt-insulation approach that's still used in most basement finishing projects. Another option that I discuss in my online basement finishing course is steel studs with spray foam. That's completely wood-free and works well, too.
