Finishing Basement Support Columns Pics Would Be Great
Any ideas on finishing my basement support columns? I hate to have it as a paint finishing so I was thinking maybe some tambour wrap or boxing it in?
Any Suggestions or pics of previous work? Thanks |

Re: Finishing Basement Support Columns Pics Would Be Great
Here's something that might help. It's recessed oak paneling with A31 panel mould. And a painters kid...haha. Not a supporting beam, but it's wrapped around a sheet rocked supporting wall. Lemme find some others.

Re: Finishing Basement Support Columns Pics Would Be Great
Here's a couple more. One is just a rough cedar box beam just mitered together, and the other is another recessed panel with i think P31 mould.

Re: Finishing Basement Support Columns Pics Would Be Great
They sell pre maid ones at my local menards for around 100 bucks. I tried to google it and couldn't find it. I have used them a couple of times and they worked great. Easy to install and look good.
