This makes DRICORE SMARTWALL® an energy efficient product that you can use to finish your basement. In order to help prevent water build up within your walls, DRICORE SMARTWALL® has Vapour Shield Technology built into every panel. By using expanded polystyrene foam, each DRICORE SMARTWALL® panel is factory bonded together to eliminate most air pockets. This greatly reduces the chance for mold, mildew and rot.
These channels can also be used to install audio and video cables. DRICORE SMARTWALL® includes rigid expanded polystyrene foam insulation that has been infused with graphite. Graphite reflects and absorbs radiant energy, helping to further increase its R-Value as temperatures drop. Designed specifically for basements, these panels will stand up to the toughest conditions –even a basement flood. You’ll never have to worry about mold, wood rot, nasty odors or soggy insulation.
Replace damaged drywall in your finished basement due to water damage
Each DRICORE SMARTWALL® panel incorporates a patented “micro bevel” edge, which eliminates the traditional taping stage of finishing the drywall surface. The micro bevel also means that 75% less compound will be used, compared to traditional finishing methods. DRICORE SMARTWALL® has been designed to work only with a specially formulated low-dust compound called DRICORE PATCH PRO®. The combination of the DRICORE SMARTWALL® micro bevel edge and PATCH PRO is what enables the joints to be tapeless. The studs provide a broad flange to secure your finished wall materials. ZenWall® from Basement Systems is an excellent finished wall system to use with B2B panels.

A Warm and Waterproof Finished Basement
Wood framing and fiberglass insulation are fine in above-grade applications. But wood absorbs moisture in the basement because of high humidity levels or from water that gets onto the basement floor. Fluffy fiberglass fares no better when moisture is present; as it compresses into wet clumps, falls out of place, and totally loses its insulating value. Our EverLast™ half panel is ideal for restoration situations. If your basement has had water damage, we replace the bottom section of damaged drywall and insulation with our waterproof EverLast™ panels.
This cross section through a B2B panel shows one of the wiring channels and two integral studs. Because the studs don’t extend fully through the panel’s 2 ½-in. Unique micro beveled edges eliminate the need for traditional taping, saving you time and the headache of excess dust, caused by significant sanding. Do it right the first time with Basement-to-Beautiful wall panels.
Brighten up your unfinished basement with a semi-finished look
DRICORE PatchPro compound requires 75% less mudding than traditional framing, resulting in less sanding. Being an all-in-one product reduces the amount of cut-offs or scraps. Or is the fiberglass insulation beginning to sag in the basement? Our award-winning finishing products are waterproof and mold-resistant. The ultimate basement wall includes is low-maintenance, waterproof, and insulated. Electrical installation is simplified with integrated vertical and horizontal wiring channels that run through the insulation.
Built-in wiring channels to simplify running electrical wires. There’s no need to drill holes through studs or snake through framing and fiberglass insulation. Horizontal and vertical wiring channels make the job easy for your electrician. Rigid foam insulation offers unmatched durability for the basement, as it can’t be damaged by moisture or mold, and never falls out of place or loses R-value. Unlike drywall, Owens Corning Basement Finishing system wall panels are inorganic and not a food source for mold and mildew. EverLast™ partition wall panels are available with finished faces on both sides for internal walls.
Yes, you can cut DRICORE SMARTWALL® panels down, always remember to cut from the top. This will ensure that the channels align properly during install as their heights are measured from the bottom of the panel. “You never want to put your finished floors on top of wet, damp, and cold concrete. Easy Wire Channels designed into every panel allows for simple electrical wiring. Wall panels remove for foundation, electrical and plumbing access.
Transforming an unfinished basement into a finished living space is a great way for any family to gain extra room. However, basement conditions demand different construction materials than those used upstairs. As certain “above-grade” materials can cause major problems when used in the basement because of higher moisture levels.
The bypassing “bridging” of the less conductive material significantly reduces its effectiveness as an insulator. This is why many traditionally built walls have cold spots. Superior energy efficiency with the SilverGlo® foam board.
They are available with or without insulation - depending on placement of the walls. Traditionally framed wood walls lose up to 30% of their insulating capabilities due to an effect called “Thermal Bridging”. Thermal bridging occurs when a conductive material (e.g. wood, aluminum, steel, concrete, etc.) provides a path for heat to flow around insulation.
Yes, there are alternatives to wood, fiberglass and other organic materials that don’t last long in the basement. Basement-to-Beautiful wall panels are designed specifically to install in the basement, against foundation walls. These innovative panels enable your contractor to complete wall framing and insulating in a single step. More importantly, Basement-to-Beautiful panels can’t rot, attract mold or be damaged by moisture –even if your basement happens to flood.
This special graphite-infused foam has higher R-value than standard foam. A completed Basement-to-Beautiful installation creates a continuous blanket of R-13 insulation to make your basement comfortable and energy efficient. Installing Basement-to-Beautiful® wall panels provides you with waterproof wall framing and insulation in a single step. Fully insulate and finish your basement with EverLast® Basement Wall Panels with SilverGlo® insulation and radiant barrier. Because they include insulation and radiant barrier, they are ideal for exterior walls. Finally, DRICORE SMARTWALL reduces the mess that comes with finishing a basement.
