We rarely consider basements to be a warm and cozy part of the house. We usually think of cold and uninviting, but it doesn’t have to be! Today we share three ways to keep your basement warm this winter.
Waterproof & Mold-Proof
Materials that are designed for the basement environment will get rid of that musty smell created by mold. Materials such as inorganic insulation behind your walls and waterproof flooring will help keep your basement from damage when moisture becomes present.
Replace Old Windows
If you have older single pane windows in your basement, it’s highly likely they are inviting in cold drafts. This is problematic because it may significantly increase your energy bills. If you choose not to replace your older windows, seal them from the outside with caulk.
Radiant Panels & Heated Floors
Heated floors and radiant panels can help warm up cold basements. If you’re looking for a great way expand your living space, increase the resale value of your home, or save money on heating costs, then consider radiant heating!
