Drywall: If you are more concerned about having a warm and professional
look for your basement, you may never go wrong with drywall. Simply by
making the right use of drywall ceilings, you can make your basement look as
impressive as any other room in your home. The good thing is that it is
possible to treat drywall with a variety of textures – it is easy to apply these
textures using a roller or spray applicator. While drywall is a great choice, it
requires framing in ductwork that can pose some challenges. You may have
to spend more money here because installation can be quite demanding
since the work needs to be done overhead. The contractor will also have to
install service panels to provide you with access to pipes and wiring, which
can add to the overall cost.
Suspended Ceilings: If you have good headroom available in your
basement, you can certainly put your money on suspended ceilings. These
ceilings feature a hanging grid with tiles placed into it to form the surface of
the ceiling. The biggest benefit of opting for suspended ceilings is that they
offer quick and unrestricted access to wiring, plumbing, and ducts. You will
find it much easier to add insulation to the tiles – it offers sound-muffling
qualities as well. You can also choose from a variety of tiles, including vintage
tin, faux-metal, plaster-look tiles, and faux wood tiles.
