I had Dr Energy come out to quote closed cell foam for an older portion of my basement. For the newer portion - they gave me a verbal quote for this system which was less than $4k for 85 liner feet of wall - at about 8ft height. Much more cost effective than other basement systems. I like the idea of adhesive bond to basement wall - I'd never tap screws into the concrete - that's just me. That quote is just for the panels and I doubt if it included installation - I didn't ask.
as a former professional waterproofer specialist, with spray foam you are asking for water problems at the wall you will never see until it is too late
I'd like to see some prices too. What is the R value? These look nice, but I wish builders would remember that many of us would appreciate a variety of color choices. I'm not sure I'd like vinyl, either. Will you offer any other wall materials?
Ok I have gravity drain basement which means at the perimeter of the basement floor there's a 1" gap where water I guess is drained and runs by gravity to a well and out. if by putting your wall against the basement wall would the gap prevent water from draining to well? Please get back to me soon TY.
As a former professional of basement waterproofing services I would recommend you do add some form of water drainage behind the wall for just in case of a worst case scenario
Yes you can, we recommend the ever last wall panel byTotal Basement Finishing so you never need to do it again. We offer seamless paintable panels as well so you can add your own splash of color!
But unfortunately this is not commercial,and metal studs used commercially twist and rest as well. They have definitely gotten better over the years but I don't like them and would never put them in my house, you can easily Bend and twist them with your hands the longer they are the easier they are to bend and twist..when new construction settles the metal studs attached to concrete or block comes loose alot over do time. They're cheaper,fire rating but nothing else.
+Lidiya Azaryeva Hi Lidiya, did you get the quote or ever finished the basement with Basment2Beatiful?. I live in NWS of Chicago and was looking to finish my basement.
Electric Looks like a pain in the A- Have to chase electric and networking separable or you have interference- Unless you buy some very expensive shielded cable.
Why would anybody want to drill screws to the foundation walls? Doesn’t that make it easier for water to come through from the outside than? Or it can actually crack the foundation. There is ways to put the dry wall up without having to damage the foundation walls. There is ways to put up drywall without having to drill anything into the foundation walls. Just so everyone is aware it’s super expensive to fix or redo the foundation wall... .
unless it goes through the wall like ties do with traditional formwork, then yeah you are going to have water leakage, but unless otherwise a crack develops to the other side and there is no water coating on the outside of the wall yo are going to have water penetration problems. Those things and the fact that concrete is like a sponge all add up to some sort of wet issues or another over time. I used to do basement waterproofing for my step-dad when he owned such a business
@@Joshua79C -so again are you saying that each hole drilled in concrete should go all the way through in order not to crack or leak? (As in sealing the hole?). Thank you!
+Shawn P most commercial buildingS are built with metal studs - not sure I see them twisting much. In this application the metal studs are integrated with the panel - and then a finish panel is mounted. I'm not worried about twisting in this system.

can I order those panels online and have them shipped to my home?
Is it affordable by the average income person or family. I doudted
Looked interesting until you showed those hideous "finishing" panels. Who would want that as the final look?
Agreed.

"You can easily patch it with putty" Funny, I didn't know putty came with Cavity Protection now!
can you build off of the wall, to make rooms?

What is the cost and how hard is it to install?
There are multiple channels to avoid that issue you mentioned. That may not be clear on this video.
Do you have to waterproof basement first?

Idk what this guy is on about but graphite is both conductive and organic.
Can you place drywall right on top of the foam?

Would this work on a rock foundation basement?
most likely not as it requires a smooth wall

Metal studs suck, easily twist and rust.
