Owens Corning has been a world leader in building materials, systems and composite solutions for more than 70 years, and a Fortune 500 company for more than 50 years. The ability to remain a household name for residential and commercial projects is partially due to the successful partnerships with businesses who are devoted to sharing the Owens Corning standards. The Basement Finishing System ("System") was developed at Owens Corning's nationally accredited and internationally recognized Science & Technology Center, Granville, Ohio.

This included three years of testing and modifications. The result is a state-of-the-art Basement Finishing System that benefits franchisees and homeowners alike. The System also has been recognized with awards from Popular Science and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. If you are interested in growing your business, becoming an Owens Corning customer may be the perfect opportunity for you.
