So if you’re a homeowner looking to convert an existing basement room or a designer developing a new basement we are here to help. Basements wherever designed into new properties or present within existing are or can be a great asset to the homeowner. The extra space provided by utilising the space beneath a property is without doubt valuable space which can have a multitude of practical uses for modern living from simple storage areas to home cinemas; in fact the possibilities are endless.
Whether you have a 2 bed house, a 3 bed house or even a generous sized 4 bed house, some families may find that they actually have more children than they do bedrooms – meaning that space can quickly become restricted. While many children may share a bedroom with their siblings, as they get older some children just need their own space – that’s why converting your home’s basement into an additional bedroom allows you to free up valuable space in the home while providing your children with their own space and privacy.
For some homes, the only way of adding additional bedrooms is through building an extension onto the home – this means reducing the outside space and altering the layout of the home. However, for homes that have a cellar or basement, you are able to add an additional bedroom by utilising this space so that the footprint of the home stays intact. There are a number of benefits to converting your basement to a bedroom. One benefit, that may be favourable with older children and teenagers, is that a basement bedroom offers a great level of privacy as it is away from the main house. Another benefit to converting a basement to a bedroom is that it also provides a number of possible uses when it is no longer required as a bedroom anymore – for example, when your children are old enough to move out, you could potentially change the room to an additional living area or even a luxury cinema room! There are so many options.
The most important thing when transforming a dark and dingy basement into a cosy and bright bedroom space is that you make the correct waterproofing choice, and it’s application is correct – this is where we can help. We offer a unique service within the waterproofing of basements and the basement conversion industry. Providing support as well as advice from the initial design right through to the complete individual specification. Our expertise in waterproofing will allow you to create that dream basement space that is perfect for adding an additional bedroom to your home.
Flood damage
After flooding ground salts, bacteria and detritus will contaminate the plaster. Ground salts are hygroscopic and as such will continue to attract moisture indefinitely. The problem will be exacerbated where seawater flooding has occurred, or foul water is involved. The background masonry is also likely to have become saturated with water and contamination.
The plaster should be removed as soon as possible after flooding, as this will aid the drying process.
For a ‘fast turnaround’ the following procedure becomes financially viable.
Utilising the following specification will allow internal finishes to be applied before the masonry has dried. In fact once the plaster has been removed renovation can begin immediately as the Hey’di K11 system is designed to be applied to damp surfaces.
Therefore a property can be reoccupied much more quickly than conventional treatment methods, saving great expense at re-homing householders and the cost of hiring driers and dehumidifiers.
At JB Plastering & Damp Proofing we pride ourselves on using only top quality products.
