Corrugated metal for interior walls?

[Zeppe807]

I did a galvanized wainscot and ceiling on my whole shop and room up stairs, I love it......reminds me of Chipotle, LOL. All of my outlets are above the wainscot - I used osb for everything else, was trying to keep the cost down. I used rat guard on the bottom and j channel on the tops. Need to get some better pics, here are some random shots that give you a pretty good idea.

That looks Great! Do you remember the cost of the j channel by the foot? I probably will use 2 x 3 and a dado blade for trim depending on cost.

Looks awesome !!! This is the great thing about this forum, seeing these great ideas to get the creative juices flowing. That would be cool doors for my loft.

 

[snowpromod]

That rat guard and J were about. $.50 a ft. Here is another pic I found

Did you insulate above it?

 

[snowpromod]

Insulated everything.

That looks great, snowpromod.

I've been thinking about doing something very similar and staining the OSB..

I have one wall done in my garage, but hopefully when the weather warms up where I can have the doors open, I'll get the rest of the walls done. I feel more like working when the weathers warm.

^ What are your ceilings?

 

[Zeppe807]

Well I got mine done on one side of the garage too. I still have some more to finish up. I used old stuff from my ranch It is a little less shiny and has a story.

I added a little to a long door to stiffen it up a little.

I have some more pictures in my garage gallery thread on some more details, like how I cut it, and how it goes around my electrical plugs.

That looks great. nice equipment too.

Textured drywall. They aren't white now though. Earlier this year I painted the ceilings black. I'll try to find the pic(s).

Hey Reflex, You're somewhat local to me. I did my basement office/workshop room in corrugated. I got the panels cut to length from a small shop in Costa Mesa. I believe they are 22-24 ga. If you want to contact info for them, I can dig it up...

I did the interior (rehab) of one of my industrial buildings using corrugated and was very pleased. I thought it would be noisy but the corrugated breaks uo the sound, much like the accoustical design used in mufflers. I used electrical boxes directly on the face connected by conduit. My corrugated walls are something like 14' high in places.

What size garage is that?

 

[OldNeons]

We just did my dad's entire shop (over 1000 sq ft) in corrugated metal - some full walls, some wainscote (sp?). We love how it turned out. I also did a wainscote all around my brothers 1300 sf ft garage. Will try to get some pics and post. We used the smaller corrugation spacing (1 1/4") and 29 gauge thick panels. They worked great.

 

[Kevin54]

What size garage is that?

28' deep x 36' wide

Kevin54,
First time I've seen the inside of your shop! Looks great. Nice job of putting that together!

Now, could you come finish the inside of mine...please!

I thought everyone had pretzels in the garage to go with beer

Will putting corrugated panels/metal siding over drywall cause any issues with moisture buildup between the metal and drywall? Or any other issues? I have been looking for a good cheap/durable/fire/spark resistant baseboard/covering. I have found some cheap metal siding locally and thought it would be a good idea. I am just not sure if putting over drywall will cause any issues, I didnt see anyone mention any yet in this thread. Thanks again guys!

 

[Kevin54]

I have mine over drywall. I don't ever see any moisture on the outside, so I don't imagine there would be any on the inside either. Besides that, the drywall is painted, so the paint alone should seal it. The largest problem I will see will be spiders setting up Condo residences in the corrugations. I already have a problem with them setting up residence in the small cracks in the baseboards. So this year, I'm going to set the bug bombs off, then caulk around the baseboards and bottoms of the tin.

Something you may want to consider and I never did until it was already done, but in one of the threads, either this one or another about the corrugated tin, was to use vinyl "J" channel to cover the top of the tin. I made an "L" shaped piece out of 1"x2"'s and screwed it to the studs. "J" may have been easier and looked better.

 

[RABRods]

Thanks Kevin, that was exactly the info I was looking for.

Now I see why your Wife has her own garage Sweet looking shop Kevin..

How does diamond plate compare to galvanized in price .What thickness diamond plate do they use ???

Thanks. The wife garage isn't too bad either. I'll post some pics when we get it cleaned back up though. As of right now, there is a snowblower, my JD with a blower on it, our patio table and chairs. Pretty crowded right at the moment.

Skip the bug bomb and go get some of this. It's the best stuff I've ever seen and kills just about all the creepy-crawly things.

We used to have quite a spider problem in the hangar until I started using this. Spray twice a year..

Figured I would make my first post as it turned out to be a very good thread! I'm lucky as far as bugs I haven't seen a whole lot for some reason. Except for stink bugs. These garages looks awesome! I in the process of hanging my drywall this weekend and looking for some corrugated steel for a nice industrial look to the total garage makeover. Ill post a build thread once I get everything in order.

 

[Kevin54]

I picked up some 10 panels at the lumber company Thursday and the panels were $21 each and they were 10 long. 6 panels is giving me enough to cover (1) 24' wall up to the bottom of my cabinets. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post by this evening. Babysitting the pup slowed me down and so did cutting around outlets, but I was working under my bench to and I can only reach under with one hand to hold the panels.

If I'm not mistaken, diamond plate is about .060 thick, but it's going to cost 3-4 times as much if not more for a 4 x 8 sheet

when you guys use wood trim on the bottom of your metal walls, are you put the trim up first and placing the metal on top of the trim? or putting the metal walls up first, with the trim over the metal?

 

[OldNeons]

We shot a level line all the way around the shop and scribed/cut the bottom of the 1x6 to fit that level line on the top side. Then we bent galvanized metal to cover the baseboard and stick up a few inches above the baseboard (flat against the OSB sheeting). Then we had a nice level base to run the corrugated on. We also folded a galvanized J-channel and installed all the way across the top and slid the corrugated panels up into that. No matter how close you make everything fit you will still see varying gaps across the top (ask me how I know). The J- channels gives you a little room for error in your cuts and makes it all look finished perfectly! Worth the extra effort. If you don't have access to a brake, these pieces are super easy for any heating and air guy to bend up for you.

Here are pictures of what I ended up doing. I really wasn't sure what the best way was, so I did the best I could think up.

 

[paulrey27]

Curious if you could do something similar to what we are seeing here but hold it off the floor as well? You would eliminate all the issue OP talked about...so similar to using it like wainscoting but say the bottom starts at 12-18" a.f.f. and extends up to however high you need it...

Didn't get through all the posts so apologies in advance if I echo'd someone. Just my thought.

On mine, I put the baseboards up first then set the tin down on top of it. At the top, I used some 1x2's and made an "L" shaped piece, then screwed it above the tin. The "L" hides the top cuts.

If I had thought about it at the time, I would have used a vinyl "J" Channel at the top, but I didn't think about it until after I had it all up. I still have a portion of my front wall to do and then the back wall. But seeing that I already have the piece I made on the sidewall, I'll probably just stay with that. FYI.....the corrugation width is right at a 1/2", so 1/2" "J" Channel would work great.

I also still have to go back around and paint my baseboards. Once I have the walls covered with the tin, I'll paint the baseboards and then seal the tin and baseboard gaps with some white caulk, all for the fact that it will keep the spiders and other little critters and dirt from getting in at a small crack somewhere.

That is a really good looking shop, very well done !

 

[getduncan]

I went with diamondplate, reflective,clean,and FREE!!!!

As much as I like that old ford setting there you got anymore shot of the diamond plate. I have had consider doing this very thing...

 

[Justanoldguy]

Odd.
All the corrugated roofing material I have seen over 45+ years is 3/4" .

 

[VegasSteve]

How about corrugated metal in the living room?

 

[PetesPonies]

I am using some corrugated steel in my house I am building. There really are so many places it can be used to a unique effect. One place is my great room will have corrugated steel on the vaulted ceiling. I will use some on my kitchen island and off course in my "display" garage. I love how you guys have used it here.
