Basement Remodeling Tips For Finished Basement And Interior Finishing | Page 8

KEEPING YOUR FURNISHED BASEMENT
WARM ROUND-THE-CLOCK
Improved efficiency
 By improving efficiency, the heat pumped into the basement will be felt as
required. Due to this, double-paned windows should replace archaic single-
paned types. Also, another great way to prevent heat from seeping through
flooring is to add insulation. Drafts have to be prevented by ensuring that
seals on basement openings (doors and windows) are intact.
Moisture reduction
 The higher the moisture levels in the basement, the colder the basement.
Even when everywhere in the home is excessive, be sure that humidity in the
basement will not be compromised. Thus a chilly temperature is upstairs is
extreme in the basement. Good news! Overall dampness can be reduced
when a proper dehumidifying unit (such as a portable humidifier) is
installed.
