perforated liner tin question

[powpow]

Anybody do the white liner tin on their entire ceiling?

I am looking at doing a white vapor barrier, then the perforated liner tin with recessed 2x4 LED lighting between my trusses, then blow in insulation.


My building is a 32x68 with a 3/12 vaulted truss inside, stick build

Thoughts?

You will be reducing the amount of light quite a bit. Check the specs for open percentage.

It doesn't say the open percentage, here is the link.

I am getting it for 8 bucks per 16 ft sheet, I could do every other with standard liner tin to brighten it up?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding. Are you mounting the lights below or above the metal?

I doubt that you or anyone will be using tin to cover anything. Back in the 1900s. there was tin plated sheetmetal, tin-plate, that became known at tin. Those of us in the trade became tin bashers.
Tin-plate came in various sheet sizes with the most common being 18 inch square sheets. The thickness was known as 10 and 3/4 ounce. These very thin sheets could be dangerous because of the high cut probability.
Tin, the metal, is used to alloy with copper to make bronze. Copper and zinc make brass.
In 2018 and beyond, what is referred to as tin may be thin coated aluminium sheeting or even coated thin steel sheet. My wife calls Reynold aluminium she uses in the kitchen, "tin".
I suppose it does not matter until a person goes to a metal supply store and asks for tin and the sales person rolls their eyes and asks, "What?"

Wow. The perforated metal product is good on ceilings. Morton uses it on larger pole barns to help absorb sound waves. Use a white liner above it and the reflective quality will be close to a solid sheet of corrugated steel liner. Call it what you will, we knew what you were talking about.

Actually when the guy walks into the "metal supply store" and asks for pole barn tin, they know exactly what he wants too.

Ya.....tin....metal.....steel......they would know. Technically.....not tin, but.......

The metal he is talking about is generally used for venting soffits. I suppose it could be used as an acoustic application. Acoustic decking has deep convolutions with perforations and ridgid fiber glass is installed above the perforations to absorb sound. I'm not sure what the OP is trying to accomplish.

I think he is asking if it would look and work ok to do a entire ceiling of his shop, do to the fact he is stealing it at 8 dollars per 16’ sheet. I think it it will be fine with the white vapor liner behind it, should really help absorb noise quit well.

Actually the Pro-Rib soffit metal is a bit different than the acoustic panel he is getting.

 

[powpow]

Yes, this is acoustic metal, not soffit metal. This is specific for use inside a building, just curious on the negatives to doing it on a ceiling vs top of walls. My lights will be recessed between the trusses so they will be flat to the ceiling, not below the metal

The partitions between engine dynamometer test cells were sheeted with that stuff at work, to somewhat attenuate noise from forty some diesel engines running at full load the same time. The partitions were double sided, about three or four inches thick, with fiberglass insulation between the sheets.

You will get negligible light transmission though those perforations.

Surface mount the lights.

Thanks for the pics. Around here that is used for soffit. As far as acoustic use you need to look at the manufacturers specs. It is usually a system that involves specific FG installed above it. It isn't effective without the FG. It will seriously reduce the light and how will you service the lights? My guess is it's cheap because someone ordered the wrong stuff and the supplier won't take it back. They just want to get rid of it.
I have installed acres of this stuff in various forms in schools and gyms. My guys hated dealing with the fiberglass.

I talked to an auctioneer who absolutely swears by the stuff. He put it in his auction barn and said it greatly improved the acoustics.

A neighbor down the road is building a pole barn/house. He has 14' walls. The top half is perforated metal as is the ceiling. He said it keeps echoing out of the bay area by absorbing the sound. Pretty sure it is a Morton.

I think sound reduction greatly depends on what is put behind the perforated.

I seen it on ceilings 10 years ago now on new builds they just do the upper portions on the sidewalls

 

[markushofer27]

So would the lights be above the liner or would u tin around em?
