Finishing Basement Walls: Drywall Backer Required with Planking ?
I'm tring to decide what to use for my basement walls. I have
everything framed up with 2x4's, added insulation and installed a vapor barrier. I'm considering the following options (cheapest options first): painted drywall paneling over unfinished drywall PGM Wood Products wood planking (directly to the studs) pine or cedar (most likely pine) I like the idea of wood planking because it's easy to work with and do a little at a time but I've seen some manufacturers don't recommend it be applied directly to studs (and that a drywall backer should be used). Is that really necessary? If I have to have a drywall backer, I think I might just do paneling over it or (if I can't find a paneling I like) or just paint it. Any feedback you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kevin |

The manufacturer of teh planks mentioned the following:
"We recommend that you do not install directly over studs to avoid bowing." Anyone have experience with this? Thanks, Kevin |
