Hello, We are planning an upgrade to an unfinished basement collections storage area. The space is about 25 years old, concrete floor with three exposed concrete walls and one framed wall. The upgrade will include finishing the framed wall as well as installing a drop ceiling to provide a barrier between pipes/upper floor and the collection. The space will eventually be used for stable three-dimensional objects - no textiles, paper, fine-art, or sensitive items. And water alarms are part of the planned upgrade. Does anyone know of any construction related materials for floor, wall, or ceiling we should avoid using in the space?? Or other renovation-related recommendations/advice?
