Interior steel liner trim details

[NebrTd]

I am getting close to doing my interior steel liner in my shop. There seems to be plenty of exterior trim pictures, but what about interior finish?

Does anyone have pictures on how they did interior corners, outlet boxes, window trim, and/or window finish.

I am sure there are alot of ways to do this, but this is the part I will always see so I want to do it right. Any tips are appreciated.

I recently finished my garage in my new house. I installed 2X4s across the studs in the garage to attach the metal to.For the interior corner I used two pieces of J channel. The outlets I ran a 2X4 at 44 inches and attached a four square bracket box turned on its side. I laid the boxes to hit center of the flat on the steel and attached a flat mud ring to the box.View media item 74993

Inside corners are available. You can use F trim for the ceiling to wall joint or put up the ceiling and then install J trim against the ceiling. Don't limit yourself to stock trim. Most suppliers will bend up any shape you want. For the windows use an angle hemmed on both sides to cover the framing and come out and over the wall sheets. As mentioned layout the boxes to land in a low. We don't get real precise. We install a block as shown above and leave slack in the wire so we can locate the box as we get there and secure the box exactly where we want it.

I should be finishing up all of my nailers today.

A guy at work said he also did the double j-channel in the corners. I know Midwest steel that is sold at Menards has inside corners as well as a hemmed piece that is angled, but i would have to try those to see how they look. The double j looks good and it might be nice to only have a couple styles of trim to buy.

On the Windows what do you use against the window frame to cover up the rough opening?

Thanks for the pics and the info so far.

I used this around my windows then installed the J channel over it. Ill try to get some pics tomorrow.

Since I have a siding brake, I bought a roll of coil stock and bent what I needed. I made my J-channel a little deeper to help cover and imperfections I might have.

I have some pics in my refurb thread, but I'm not sure exactly where and I have a ton of pics in my PB acct so they are not easy to find.

EDIT: that was quick, starting about half way down the page is where I started the house garage ceiling.

Another tip, either borrow or buy a drywall lift. You can find them used on CL or buy a HF unit and resell it when you are done. With a lift, you can easily do it yourself.

I used flat sheet metal in my shop. For electrical boxes I used a plasma cutter and it worked beautifully.

My ceiling is too high for a drywall jack. At least the ones I have looked at anyway. A friend of mine said when he helped with one, they rented a man lift and then made a bracket on the side to carry sheets up. This made for less up and down and more work.

Here are some pics of my trim around the windows and corners.

I'm not sure how high your ceilings are but a few members here have made and added an extension to their drywall lifts.

Thanks for the up close pictures IBEW702. Very clean install. I already used your method for placing my electrical boxes today.

I am about 17' at the interior peak of the scissor truss. I will keep the lift in mind. I know it was a lifesaver when I did my drywall in my basement.

IBEW how hard is it to get that chalk off the paint?

Since a piece of angle is being bent to cover the jamb at the window it is just as easy to bend it an inch deeper and eliminate the J trim. We bend the return going over the sheet at two inches to give a more typical trim look.

Got a picture, I'm curious how that looks.

IBEW702, very nice finish work. And it looks like it was a fair amount of work to come out that nice.

The blue chalk just wipes off with a paper towel or damp sponge.

Thanks!. For me it was the best option. OSB cost has risen and it really needs painted and protected from water. Sheetrock needs to be finished, painted and protected from water as well. Also it damages easy. The metal liner really needs to special skills to install and never needs painted.

We pre drill the holes for the screws. It's a easy way to keep the screw heads in a strait line. You can drill 5 or 6 sheets at a time.

I know I’m bringing an old thread back from the dead, but I have a question. My wall studs are 2x8, 16 inch on center. Would it work pretty well if I just attach metal liner, vertically, directly to the studs? It seems like a little overkill, and added expense, to add horizontal 2x4s across the studs first.

 

[NUTTSGT]

I don't believe the flats of the sheets will line up with your studs.

 

[driver50x]

That’s true. Probably some will line up, and some won’t.

1x3 strapping screwed horizontally.

Why 2x8 studs? Wow

I guess because the walls are 16 feet tall, and this is the land of hurricanes.
