6 A BETTER WAY TO FINISH BASEMENTS ENERGY EFFICIENCY, OUTSTANDING ACOUSTICS AND FOUNDATION ACCESSIBILITY. Thanks to its built-in Owens Corning insulation, the Owens Corning System delivers warmth and comfort with excellent thermal performance and sound control. It s an added layer of protection that easily adapts to your customers needs. Unlike traditional finishing, the system offers immediate access to foundation walls and wiring. And a built-in channel along the baseboard makes it easy to hide speaker, computer, or telephone wires. MOISTURE AND MOLD RESISTANT Conventional construction can trap moisture in walls, causing the lumber and drywall to warp, rot and grow mold. In contrast, our breathable insulated system naturally lets moisture pass through, reducing the chances for mold growth.* INSTALLATION IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. Instead of lumber and drywall, the system consists of pre-finished fiberglass panels that are held in place with PVC lineals, base, crown, and cove molding. Because there s no need for separate framing, insulating, dry walling and finishing, the entire job can be completed by two certified installers in about 7-10 days. Traditional finishing can require up to 7 or more workers over several weeks. * While the materials and design of the Owens Corning Basement finishing System resist mold and mildew, the system cannot prevent or mitigate mold if the conditions necessary for mold growth otherwise exist in your basement.
