ceiling for garage

[mark_k]

Hello, I am looking to finish my garage. My big question is for the ceiling, OSB or drywall? I turning it onto my reloading shop. I will be adding duct work at some point in time not sure if before or after I have the ceiling in(depends on finances). Which material would be better for the ceiling? I am planning on doing OSB for the walls. Thank you.

I did drywall on my ceiling. Didn't bother with mud and tape though, just used white gaffer (duck) tape to seal the joints then painted a couple of coats of white emulsion. Walls are painted OSB.

I know this isn't what you asked for however I couldn't be happier. Clean install, Reflects lots of light, Looks good. Just a thought.

That is what I am getting. They call it liner steel.

I used aluminum soffit and am happy with the results. There are several GJ threads on ceilings.

Foamer, if you dont mind me asking, about what is the cost? I couldn't find a price on Menards. Thank you.

I used OSB.
Primed the sheets before putting up and caulked the edges of the sheets as they went up. This was on a 30x44 with 12ft sidewalls.

After factoring in the money for primer and time spent priming and caulking...If I had to do it over again I'd use metal roof material.
I do like the "texture" of the painted osb but that's just me.

I am not sure what steel price have done, however I think on sale the liner panel is around $55-$60 per 100 sq ft I hope I typed that right.
