Make a scale drawing of the existing layout on square paper, use a quarter of an inch squares so that one square repâ€" resents one foot. Show the location of the utilities and shutoff valves. Draw the proposed layout showing walls, door openings and door swings. Show lights, switches, cable t.v. and other outlet locations. Make the most of the existing windows. Add or enlarge windows if possible, Do not add unnecâ€" essary room divisions and partitions, the fewer walls the better. Larger rooms are brighter and less confining. If a division is necessary consider a half height or a stepped wall. Basic utility basement staircases can be easily replaced. Open sided staircasâ€" es can be installed in place of closed staircases creating a lower hallway open to the upper floors. Consider including curved wall parâ€" titions or rounded corners. Curves creâ€" ate very satisfying effects. Curved walls take a little more effort to install and cost a little extra but are in fact a very cost effective way of creating a spectacâ€" ular room. Construction Exterior walls and internal partitions should be framed by studding from floor to ceiling leaving a small gap between the studding and the existing exterior wall. This will provide room to square the corners and straighten the finished walls. This also provides for better insulating. After framing, the electrical wires should be roughed in along with plumbing, heating, central vacuum, cable televisions and audio wiring.

Ontario General LLING install rough in wiring at no cost to the customer as long as the walls are open and the electrics have been roughed in. Drywall is preferred for walls and ceilâ€" ings by most builders (it can be curved). Drywall is inexpensive and easy to work with. Lighting Residential lighting may be providâ€" ed with recessed ceiling pot lighting, track lighting or color enhancing fluoâ€" rescent lighting. Task lighting should be provided for specific tasks such as lighting a games table, many selections are available for this. Accent lighting may be installed to create a central focus or a dramatic effect. Halogen lighting produces a narrow light beam of white light which enriches color and adds sparkle. Reflector bulbs or narrow beam spot bulbs can create a dramatic shadowing effect. Recessed pot light frames should be installed at the rough in wiring stage prior to drywalling (note: pot lighting units are now available for fitting into existing finished ceilings). Decorating Painting provides the best value for the decorating dollar. Well chosen coordinated tasteful colors cost the same as unmatched colors. Lighter colâ€" ors give the appearance of space and brightness. Contrasting trim colors on say doors, casing and baseboards add richness and dimension. Look through the pictures in ‘home‘ magazines for colors and combinations that you like. Then take the magazine along to your paint store and match the sample colors strips to the pictures. Many different kinds of flooring materials can be used in basements. CALL EDWARD MARTIN FORFREE EstimaAteE 271â€"9708 (905) 827â€"2958 * BATHS KITCHENS REC.

Again lighter colors will brighten the basement. A good under padding is worth every penny. Fireplaces Gas fireplaces can be installed in most basements with relative ease. Gas fireplaces can be vented directly through the side wall of the home withâ€" out having a chimney run through the roof. Double sided fireplaces make very interesting room divisions. Gas fireâ€" places are clean and provide efficient heat without taking heat out of the room through an open chimney flue. They are lit with a flick of a switch. Bathrooms Basement bathrooms can be every bit as elaborate as en suite bathrooms or as simple as a toilet and a hand basin. Shower units are extremely popular in basements. Its all a question of want and need and of course cost. Basement bathrooms can be placed almost anyâ€" where in the basement, but some locaâ€" tions are less costly than others. Plumbing must be connected to existing drain lines below the concrete floor and to a plumbing vent line. Many homes today were built with a baseâ€" ment bathroom roughed in. This makes the bathroom installaâ€" tion easier but in many cases the locaâ€" tion of the rough in needs some adjustâ€" ing. This is routine. A bathroom fan must be vented to the outside. Bathtubs and shower bases must be installed before drywalling. Remember good layout, lighting and color make all the difference.
