Ribbed wall basement exterior wall.

[huvudet också]

Hi!

We are keen on installing ribbed walls in the basement. I'm a bit unsure considering the moisture and so on. But it should work if I frame with steel studs and then mount the ribs on that so there's nothing organic against the wall?

Thoughts, ideas? Could ready-made acoustic panels work?

Kind regards

Hi!

We're interested in installing a slat wall in the basement. Slightly unsure considering moisture, etc. But it should work if I frame with steel studs and then mount the slats on that so nothing organic touches the wall?

Thoughts, ideas? Can pre-made acoustic panels work?

Best regards

Thinking the same, how did you do it?

Going through the same thoughts, how did you do it?

A lot of talk and little action, haven't found the time... But I have contacted manufacturers and suppliers, there shouldn't be any issue with moisture.

OK, as mentioned I'm considering this. The outer wall in my basement right where the panel will go up is dry but not drained in a modern way.

Steel stud - OSB - acoustic panel

OSB to get stability and be able to hang something heavy like a TV.

Gap at the floor and ceiling so it doesn't become too enclosed.

OSB might need to be replaced with something that is more moisture resistant.
