Build Faux Windows in the Basement and Enjoy Light Every Day

A basement could provide space for anything you want and become a lovely area, but there will most likely be something missing – light! Basements tend to be a bit below ground level, which means the space doesn’t get much daylight. Many people opt for putting in windows, but they’re often not large enough to bring in enough light. However, there is a way to create an elaborate illusion, have plenty of light, and no need to deal with the tedious labor!

A Step-by-Step, Clean Process

One thing is guaranteed when taking on the work of providing your basement with these LED faux windows. The process will be a lot more structured and neater than if you were to do the overall construction of an already completed space. Write down all the steps or find them online so you can follow them one by one and not miss anything!

If you prefer not to spend many hours dealing with difficult labor to put windows into an already completed and beautiful basement, you can always try LED panels. They will give you plenty of illumination and don’t require much construction. You can even get a friend to help you out, and in a matter of a day, you can have that beautiful lighting in your basement! Make any basement even more enjoyable by adding the illusion that light is coming from a real window!

The Necessary Tools

Usually, if you begin a long-drawn construction process to put in windows in your basement, you would need a whole bunch of tools and a lot of time for the work. However, this method of implementing led light panels requires few tools. And if you don’t have them, you can always work with someone who does. You will need a drywall saw, drill, miter saw, pocket hole jig, random orbit sander, and table saw. It doesn’t seem like a lot if you think about all the equipment you’d need for construction.

Materials Needed for the Faux Windows

You can find a list of the necessary materials online for convenience. And when you go to the home department store to gather everything – keep in mind that you don’t have to be an expert in finding tools such as sandpaper, wood glue, LED panels, primer, or paint. You can stand by the cashiers and ask for help from a professional. That way, you’ll be sure that you’re getting everything you need to add some light!
