I have an unfinished room downstairs that I want to turn into an exercise room. One of the walls is a below grade, poured concrete foundation wall. Home is new construction (2012) if that matters.
What finishing options to do I have that will meet code and look nice? Would like to avoid drywall since it will take up square footage to frame out a wall.
I have searched and most results seem to reference concrete block walls, not poured concrete.
I would like to consider tiling the wall with ceramic tile, but not sure what prep work needs done on the bare concrete, if any.
