Owens Corning Basenent Finishing System
Has anyone here installed it ? Did a Google search, all it did is confirm my experience. High pressure sales tactics (the local dealer in my area, I'm in NJ - was out of Long Island, Allure Inc). Sales guy comes over and says if you sign now, I can deduct $10,000 off the price. Now, mind you, there are NO construction drawings or detailed floor plans or any sort of PRECISE contractual engineering specs. Just sign on the dotted line, we can worry about that later.... yeah right. You'd think these buffoons would get a clue by the nature of the buyer considering these sort of systems. My house is valued at over $600,000 - most of us who can afford such a home, weren't born yesterday and don't idly sign contracts without knowing what we're committing to. I'm just wondering if anyone has positive experience with the Owens Corning system ? Or whether i'm better off just hiring a contractor and provide precise drawings/specs/contractual terms, etc and have them do it the "old fashioned" way. thoughts ? |

Yep, you plan out your usage, roll it out, and staple it to the

Make sure you specify a rigid ceiling material if you are going to install a
suspended ceiling. The materials I saw at HD and Lowes were a joke.... vinyl attached to fiberglass...... sag city. "Wile E Coyote" wrote in message ... Has anyone here installed it ?

Ugly walls too, with a bead strip every 4 feet to hide the seems, what a joke. Looks like a 1960's cheap paneling basement remodel with those bead strips. |
