A basement that’s high and dry gives a home untapped usable space under cover. It’s often partially heated, making it very livable and comfortable. That’s why many refer to a basement as a bonus room.

An eyesore in most basements is the Lally columns or structural vertical support poles that cannot be removed. We found a pole wrap made of a flexible, half-inch oak, maple, or cherry veneer that is completed with two coats of polyurethane. It’s also available as pre-sanded MDF panels ready to finish to match your décor. The pole wrap has a flexible backing and comes in 48-by-96-inch sheets, so it fits most support poles. The material is installed with construction adhesive and has trim to finish off the top and bottom of the pole.
