Garage and Basement
Today's garages and basements do it all.
Garages act as storage units, car-parks and a place for utilities. That means heavy use and plenty of bumps and scrapes. Your walls need superior resistance to impact, cracks and penetrations from tools and sports gear.
When finished correctly basements offer a wealth of extra living space for many purposes and activities. Whether that be a wine cellar, gym, man cave or playroom, these multi-activity spaces are a terrific way to provide a perfect spot to hang out and show off your design personality.
