Our panels are made up of a material called EcoBatt. Impressive Basements came together with Knauf Insulation in providing our customers with a healthy and sustainable basement solution. It is a completely GREEN insulation, and for our walls they are manufactured into highly condensed panels. We take the EcoBatt and combine it with ECOSE Technology and no less than 30% post consumer recycled bottle glass, and you get a completely GREEN/ECO rated product. No chemicals, and no formaldehyde.

Mold Information
Drywall has been used for years in basements, mainly because, other than paneling (which is also a food source for mold) nothing else was available.
A drywall finished basement might appear to be OK on the surface, but if not installed properly, can you really be sure that there is no mold growing behind the drywall?
Today, there are better alternative ways to finish your basement. One of these ways is to use our basement system that is mold and mildew resistant.
More information on mold is addressed below.

Your basement is a naturally damp and moist environment.
Wood studs in your basement are a food source for mold and drywall is made up of paper and cellulose - organic materials that are also food sources for mold.

See how it's done
Q: Can you remove the panels?
A: Absolutely. Our panels can be removed and replaced within minutes. Watch this video on our mold information page to see how simple it is.
Q: How long will it take for our basement to be completely finished?
A: The ceiling, flooring and wall system will be done, with all necessary electrical, within two weeks. This time frame will only increase if a bathroom addition is planned or if our contractors cannot get into the home when scheduled.
Q: Do we have color/material choices?
A: We offer more than 25 standard choices that are included in the basement system and others can be customized.
Q: How durable are your panels, are they east to clean?
A: A quick answer to that would be to watch the video below. Our system was chosen above all others for a unique training facility because of exactly these qualities. They wanted panels that are durable, replaceable and easy to maintain in an active environment.
Q: Do you install your wall system in areas other than basements?
A: Yes, we can install our wall system anywhere, to create rec rooms, home offices, family rooms and more, in any area of your house.
Q: Do you remodel the entire basement or just install the walls?
A: Eliminate the hassle of getting separate contractors to do your electrical, plumbing, flooring, ceilings, and walls--we do an entire remodeling package for you. (Some of our competitors usually only put up walls and leave the rest to you.)
Q: Are there ceiling choices?
A: Many options are available for custom ceilings including wood ceilings and tin panels. All products are USG and Armstrong.
Q: What about labor and material warranties?
A: We carry a ten-year material warranty and a five year labor warranty for our basement system. Our Class-A fire protection ceiling system also comes with a ten-year warranty.
Q: How much can we expect our basement to cost?
A: The cost of Impressive’s Full Basement System™ is about the same as that of a conventional drywall basement system. The advantages of our basement system are the innovative look, the strength and durability of the product, noise control and the elimination of mold.
Q: How do we know that the price quoted will not increase?
A: We guarantee our quote to be the finished price of the job. Only if you request additional work during the project will the price change.
Q: What makes Impressive Basement Systems™ different from similar companies and products?
A: The many benefits of working with us are:
Honesty…what we quote is what you pay; we don’t quote an exorbitant price and then come down to make you think you’re getting a deal.
Dependability…we’re there when we say we’ll be there; the job is complete within TWO WEEKS.
Credibility…we are family-owned and have been in the business for over 20 years. See “testimonials” to discover what others have said about our system.
Professionalism…we treat you and your home as we would our own.
Our wall system was chosen above all others for the T2 Tactical Training System by American Defense System Inc. a Homeland security provider. The wall system was built to endure the training facilities active use. In the video you will see the building we built along with the wall systems in place.
Each of these customers could have had either a drywall basement or a finished basement from one of the “other guys”. They all chose the Impressive Basement System!
