I was recently talking with a friend about a project they were going to be starting soon. They wanted to finish their basement, but they weren't sure where to start.
In this case, they are living in Colorado and they were told that they needed to build "floating walls" in their basement. Neither they nor I had much of an idea of what exactly that meant. I knew what it was, a wall that can move up and down with floor and ceiling expansion and contraction without cracking any sheetrook or paint, the how was the tough part. I began searching and came across lots of little entries and then I found http://www.asktooltalk.com. When I did a search here I found a very complete article. First, the article I came across answered the reason why I didn't know anything about this. The reason is that there are just a few areas in the country that require such a wall design in the basement. Colorado just happens to be one of those areas. Lucky us. The second thing that this article gave us was an exhaustive description of how to build a floating wall. A nice addition was a diagram of what the writer was talking about. The writer in this was Leon A. Frechette. He pretty much gave us everything that we needed to know for the project. Asktooltalk.com is a great all-around informational site. There are articles that give you the same level of depth as the one I found on floating walls. These professionals also test many of the new tools on the market and give you their reviews. In all I strongly recommend this page and encourage you to use each time you work on a new project. Preferably, before yo9u start the project. Go To Page: 1
