Receiving this award is an honor.

The Basement Finishing System is a truly innovative offering for the home. We feel fortunate to be this area’s exclusive provider of this great system.

Meeting homeowners’ demands for more living space, the Owens Corning Basement Finishing System offers a faster and higher-performance solution to traditional drywall construction. A complete, integrated system, the Owens Corning Basement Finishing System can be installed with minimal dust and debris in as little as two weeks time, offering busy homeowners a comfortable alternative to traditional basement remodels that average a dusty, complicated six weeks. The attractive system, fabricated with Owens Corning fiber glass insulation, also offers outstanding performance not found in traditional drywall basements.

In addition to the thermal and acoustical benefits that the insulated wall system provides, its fiber glass construction makes it resistant to mold, thereby providing healthier air quality and no more musty basement odor. Highly durable and resistant to denting, the Basement Finishing System is forgiving to the bumps and brushes of active families.

The innovative system offered by Owens Corning provides easy access to foundation walls, pipes and wiring. The system is also ideal for homeowners concerned about basement flooding – unlike drywall, the fiber glass system can be removed, set out to dry and put easily back into place.
