Bring the Stadium Home
Football season is here. For die-hard as well as casual fans, football is as much an excuse to get together as it is to watch the game, and while it's certainly exciting to go to the stadium, the majority watch the game from the comfort of their own home. In fact, 80 million Americans watch football on TV on any given Sunday and 50 million tune in to Monday Night Football each week. With ticket prices high and sightlines far from the action, the chair in front of your TV may actually be the best seat in the house.
The Basement Can Be Your Personal Stadium
While many people watch games in their living room, what a true sports fan needs is a special place to watch the game in comfort and style. A finished basement can make your home the place for football games -- or auto racing or basketball, or whatever sporting event stirs your passion -- and make you the envy of your friends and neighbors. From the big games at Thanksgiving through the college bowl season and right up to the Super Bowl, guests can join you in comfortable virtual 50-yard line seats, with no lines or post-game traffic jams.
The basement may be one of the last places you'd consider transforming into the ultimate football watching domain, but many homeowners are finding that a finished basement is the perfect place to create the sports viewing paradise they've always dreamed of. Best of all, there's still plenty of time before this year's big games to make your home 'Football Central.' And when the football season is over, you'll still have the best seats in the house for all the big games and events.
Refinishing a basement was once considered to be a long and messy process, but there are now faster and easier ways to remodel basements that have many advantages over traditional drywall construction.
The experts at Owens Corning have developed the Basement Finishing System for just this purpose. Installing the insulated walls and drop ceiling can take as little as two weeks to complete, versus the typical, traditional multi-month remodeling process using lumber and drywall. It also helps keep rooms warm in the winter and, with 95 percent sound absorption that creates a warm acoustic environment, you and your friends can cheer as loudly as you want.
Installation, performed by trained professionals, is not only quicker and cleaner, but it helps address concerns unique to basement environments. The walls are mold and mildew resistant and can be easily removed to allow access to the home's foundation, plumbing or electric wiring.
"Our customers have found that the warm and easy-living environment of a finished basement is a perfect place to get together with friends, whether as a game room, to watch movies or to cheer for their favorite teams," says Frank Palmeri, business manager, Owens Corning Basement Finishing System.
Installation may qualify you to claim an energy tax credit of up to $500. For qualified energy efficient improvements, refer to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and check with your accountant or the IRS for further details on how to claim your tax credit.
So enjoy the best seats in the house in the basement of your house. Go team!
