Before & After

This Brookfield, CT basement was cold and unwelcoming, and only used for storage. To maximize the basement's potential, the owners of this home contacted us about finishing the space. We installed ThermalDry floor tiles, which both look great and keep the floor 8-10 degrees warmer than the concrete beneath it. We also put in EverLast wall panels and a drop ceiling with no-sag tiles to create a long-lasting, beautiful finished basement!
Basement-to-Beautiful™ wall panels provide a longer-lasting, superior alternative to insulating basement walls with wood studs and fiberglass batts. Unlike other wall systems, our Basement to Beautiful panels were designed for one purpose only –to provide the best value and performance as a basement wall system. The graphite-infused SilverGlo insulation we use has 24% greater insulation value than standard expanded polystyrene foam.
The owners of this home wanted to insulate their finished basement. However, the “old-school” approach to insulating basement walls (with fiberglass batts and wood studs) isn’t a smart investment because wood framing and fiberglass insulation will absorb basement moisture and attract mold. Damp, compressed fiberglass loses its insulating value. Basement-to-Beautiful™ wall panels provide a longer-lasting, superior alternative to this. Basement to Beautiful panels enable your contractor to install insulation, wall framing and wiring chases in a single step. Vertical steel nailing flanges take the place of wood studs, enabling you to install finished wall paneling. The SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation we use in our panels will never absorb moisture, lose R-value or fall out of place like fiberglass can. The Basement to Beautiful wall panels made this basement warmer and saved the owners money!
This Brookfield basement had dreary and outdated windows. Not only were the windows unattractive, but there were many holes and cracks in the window that would allow air and moisture to flow through. With this unwanted airflow and moisture, the basement became a dreary and unwelcoming area. Wanting a solution, the homeowner decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems.
The solution for this basement was to install new windows. Our EverLast windows are the best there are, offering a double pane insulation that will ensure no drafts. In addition, that they are beautiful windows, letting in a lot of natural light into the basement. With no drafts, you will save money on your electric bill every month! This is exactly what the homeowner wanted, just look at the before and after photo!
These Brookfield homeowners wanted to transform their basement to beautiful. After researching many companies, they decided to go with the best and our team at Total Basement Finishing, a division of CT Basement Systems, was happy to help! The first step in this transformation was to upgrade the floors. As you can see, before, the floors were concrete which made it very unwelcoming and cold. The homeowners made an upgrade to beautiful ThermalDry Elite Dark Walnut flooring. This luxurious wood plank looks and feels, like a wood material, but it is a vinyl material that’s water resistant. The results of this product are a warmer basement that will not grow mold, rot or buckle. This is exactly what the homeowners wanted and were pleased with the results. They even added easy wrap column sleeves that make the supporting beams of the basement look beautiful. The walls are last to be finished but the transformation of the floors is quite the before and after!
