Curious if anyone has done a board and batten treatment in a workshop?
There are a variety of designs, but I ran across the photo below and it got me thinking. Used with drywall and properly spaced, it could eliminate a lot of seam sanding.
Or is it too much of a "house" treatment, and not appropriate for the shop?
Here are a few pictures of mine, I used thin light weight underlayment plywood that I got from HD for the ceiling, that way it was easier to put up.
Here is a link to the 4 x8 underlayment, I also included a picture of the UPC below.
I also primed all the Plywood (it's more durable than Sheet Rock in case you hit it with something while working) and the Trim Pieces before I attached them to the ceiling and attached the plywood with my framing nail gun using a 2" ring shank nails (watch how far you sink the heads in the plywood as it will go through your material if your aren't careful) and used a brad nailer on all the trim pieces. Then I used Sheet Rock mud to cover over all the nail holes and then sanded and painted the final coat with Behr flat ceiling latex. Sorry, I don't have any good pics of it with the final coat yet, it turned real nice. That upstairs room with the ceiling is for the wife to do her hobbies in, I have the downstairs room with the above floor joists left open for recessed lighting, storage, running air lines, etc. at a later date.
BTW, I put the brown pegboard on all the walls using Sheet Rock Screws and rolled on 1 coat of Behr Oil Base Paint for durability, it covered so good I didn't need to apply a second one. That is the color my wife chose for her room and not of my choosing.
It's still a work in progress as I only get to work on it every other weekend when I come back home from my full time job.
