Corrugated Tin...

[HeloMech]

Has anyone used corrugated tin to line the inside walls of their shop or garage? I'm going to run all my conduit for my wiring, and have foam sprayed between the perlins. I want something that will look industrial and protect the foam insulation. Corrugated tin seems perfect and looks awesome. Building is metal 24'X36' with 10 foot walls. I will also line the roof in tin. Thoughts, maybe pictures...

I always thought this was corrugated.

Of course, in NZ we call it corrugated IRON.

My roof is made of this and I have some part walls inside with it on.
Sorry no pics.
Too much trash against it right now.

I have no pics because I haven't started the inside of my project but I will be putting old roof metal from a barn on my walls. Like You are talking about. Can't wait to start That as well. I too will do all electrical in conduit.

I'm seeing some red X's up above.

Somebody has used corrugated along with OSB if I remember correctly. I just can't remember who it is at the moment.

Sure it's been done. If you're speaking of corrugated as in post #3, it's kind of annoying IMO because there's not much square, vertical surface to mount anything. You can bridge over the "lows" sure. I had a Behlen shop which was nothing BUT heavy corrugations - that WAS the structure. It's ok, but I much prefer my interior steel paneling in my new shop which is more of a rectangular pattern - more flat area for *whatever*

FWIW, I worked in a trailer shop which was enclosed from the rest the building by using tin for the walls and ceiling, and it was LOUD when using impacts, etc...but it was a small area.

Couple of concerns: noise, electrical conductivity, inability to hang stuff on it, and it getting dented.

Just my thoughts.

A building I worked in a while back had an interesting concept for cheap temporary office area walls that worked well. It was corrugated fiberglass (like in post three) but it was the semi clear stuff. I'd imagine it could be used on the ceiling, and you can do an opaque, color as well...

I used corrugated metal for my ceiling and a 4' high wainscoting on the walls. I got the idea from Texas Saltbox on this board.

That's it, I knew somebody would know.

Here's a link to it.

That's what I was going for. I'll go full length walls though. I like the look of the tin. Noise, it's not a problem, earplugs. I might even be able to save on lighting with the bright tin. Looks good 5lima30. I'll just have to figure a mounting system for all my signs and helicopter memorabilia.

My shop is tin lined for the first 8' then open insulation blankets. The tin I think is a great thing. Sparks from grinding won't start a fire. Flying wrenches won't gouge a fancy painted wall. Hanging things isn't a problem..... self tapping screws or rivets work great. Wall gets dirty..... hose it down. Wouldn't want to do that to wood or rocked walls.
