Does this ceiling treatment (no insulation) cause heating problems on the main level? Does sound travel up? - I have the same type of basement ceiling, but with insulation. I have been told that removing the insulation would increase my heating bill and that sound would travel. Would like to have access to the ceiling, but don't want to put up an ugly looking metal frame with panels. Any suggestions »
Wentworth, Inc. The basement area is heated with radiators as is the remainder of the house. It is cooled with a forced air system and ductwork. Sound does travel more easily because it is not insulated.
Wentworth, Inc. hi Emily ... Hi Emily ... If you are referring to the exposed bulbs along the bulkhead - they are incandescent bulbs with a factory painted silver cap - but, sadly, they have been discontinued.

"There are two young children in the house, so the basement is used as a playroom for the kids, a TV and media room for the adults and a lounge that feels more modern and cozy," says Wentworth.
1. Colonial Upstairs, Scandinavian DownstairsThis basement renovation gave a family a multipurpose space where they could all spend time together playing, watching TV and using a home office. It also gave them a chance to break away from the colonial decor used throughout the rest of the house and enjoy another style they admired: Scandinavian modern.
