Finished Basement On A Budget
Can wood paneling be glued to a concrete block basement wall?
I am trying to Finish a room in my basement for myself to watch tv and drink beer. But i am on a tight budget and do not want to frame the whole room in. But i do not like the look of Block wall. I have found some Paneling i like. Does or have any of you ever Glued the paneling to the wall and what did you use to do it?
I forgot to mention the wall has been sealed and painted
It’s possible the construction adhesive in tubes would hold for a while if the blocks were painted first with a good moisture stopping paint for cement blocks. It would certainly stick to 1×4 pine boards, laid flat, like ceiling furring strips, attached to the wall. You may need to use a cement nail or one of the Ramset guns you can rent at a Tool Rental Store. You don’t mention where you live, so it would depend on the weather somewhat. If the basement is cold in the winter months, it would be to your advantage to use some of the solid foam insulation board, 3/4″ thick, to put on the walls in between the furring strips. You’d have a really nice solid wall, could actually hang things on it and it should come out nice and straight and smooth.
