Poured Concrete
Basements
WHY Basements?
Basements are very unique when compared to other rooms in your home. They present GREAT opportunities when compared to main and upper floors of homes. But, they also have special challenges.
That's why it's critical to work with a builder that understands these challenges and offers long-term solutions.
IKE Construction specializes in finished & unfinished basements.
We offer a 25-year waterproofing warranty on their poured concrete wall basements, the most popular type of basement construction.
BENEFITS of Poured Concrete Walls:
- Solid concrete is better able to resist cave-ins caused by lateral pressures of water, earth, and wind.
- More fire resistance-because solid concrete is dense and is joint free.
- More resistant to water-concrete has fewer and smaller voids than concrete block.
ADVANTAGES of Finished Basements
Most IKE homes offer you - the customer - the opportunity to finish AND customize the basement to fit your needs and lifestyle.
And the payback is huge... often 20-115% on professionally finished basements.
- Basements are naturally insulated by the earth, which means they're cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. ALL IKE basements are "climatized."
- Moving the family room, home entertainment center, home office, or children's playroom to the basement frees up additional space in the main living area.
- If the house does not currently have room for a bonus room or home office one can be built economically in the basement.
- By putting a home entertainment center, exercise area, workroom or other "activity" room in the basement, the rest of the house can be quieter and more stress free.
- Conversely, a den, sauna or whirlpool can be put in the basement as a quiet retreat from other household activity.
