“We have three sons, Jeffrey, Miles, and Andrew,”  John said. “And they are non-stop. When I say they are always, always on the go, I mean it. They have so  much energy. They literally bounce off the walls. That’s why we decided to have the basement renovated into a play space for them – but I wanted to be sure that the walls could stand up to my active boys.”

There are numerous basement wall finishing systems available. However, they don’t all off the same level of durability and mold resistance. When comparing basement wall systems, it becomes clear that Kaks Wall is the only wall that is actually dent proof. Some other brands claim to be dent resistant; they may be able to stand up to an occasional knock here or there, but they’re just not made for life with very active young children.

“I appreciate the fact that Kaks Walls are stain and mold proof,” said Beth, the boys’ mother. “Miles and Andrew both have allergies, and I don’t need them being exposed to mold. Knowing that the walls are actually designed to stop mold growth in its tracks gives me tremendous peace of mind.”

“Durability, mold-resistance, and easy to clean were our top three criteria when it came time to choosing a basement wall system for our Boston home,” John said. “Kaks basement wall system excelled in all three areas, and it was extremely competitive price wise. Of all the decisions we’ve made in our home, this was definitely one of the best!”

 

Having the basement in your Boston home transformed into a home gym, extra living space, private movie theater, or other feature that increases the joy and happiness you derive from your home is now easier than ever. The use of basement wall systems is the smartest, most cost effective way to finish spaces that often have functional but unattractive cement or cinder block walls.  When considering basement wall systems, look for these essential 4 must-have features:

1) Durability: Quality matters. We’ve learned that newly finished basements are often the busiest spaces in the home, as family members take the time to truly enjoy their new room. In home gyms, dance studios, and children’s play rooms in particular, it’s essential that your basement wall system can stand up to any accidental contact. Choose a high quality, durable Boston basement wall system.

2) Mold & Mildew Resistance: Basements can be damp, and dampness is mold’s favorite thing. Obviously no one wants mold and mildew growing in their finished basement. The best basement wall systems feature integrated mold and mildew resistance, which means you don’t have to worry about ugly, unhealthy mold.

3) Innovative Look: Choose a basement wall system that features today’s hottest design features: paintable panels that create a seamless look. Match your decor downstairs to the style choices you make throughout the rest of your home. Removable panels give access to critical systems as needed without disturbing the finish!

4) Eco-Friendly Insulation: This benefit may not look like much, but you’ll love it when it comes time to pay for heating and cooling your home! Choosing a basement wall system that provides an extra layer of insulation: it’s the smartest decision you can make.
