Basement Remodeling: Choosing the Best Ceiling
Let’s start with suspended ceilings. For those who love the world of interior design, suspended drop ceilings provide an opportunity to experiment with an array of colors and styles. Installation for these types of ceilings is usually simple and the panels provide great insulation for those who would like to remove the “echo” of their home theater sound.
Additionally, with all the pipes that run through the basement, these paneled ceilings provide the important feature of utility access. The downside to these panels is the amount of vertical space they use up. For those who have limited space above their heads in their basement, this ceiling option may not be the best choice.
Drywall:
For those who would like as much vertical space as possible, drywall is the way to go. This material has been deemed as the more professional or conservative look and will maintain a consistent look to the existing rooms in your house.
Drywall is the most common ceiling type found in a household. However, its permanent nature comes with a major drawback. When electrical, utility pipe or duct-work repairs/maintenance are conducted, contractors often have to cut “exploration holes” in the drywall ceiling due to the consumer’s uncertainty of the utilities’ component locations. These holes create unanticipated repair costs and are difficult to hide after the repair is complete. Additionally, unforeseen problems like pipe leaks can ruin an entire drywall ceiling overnight. Repairing a damaged drywall ceiling can be pricy, plus you have to paint the entire ceiling again to get it to look right.
