After some research and weighing the options of Plaster, Drywall or wood, I decided to finish the inside of my 24 x 26 detached garage with OSB. I grew up in the plaster and eventually drywall trade as my grandfather, father and uncle owned the business for over 60 yrs. The reason I chose OSB was due to heating and cooling issues and the effects on the seams, joints and corners. Unless the garage is "heated all the time" it would be constant maintenance due to the winter months (Michigan). Constant expansion and contraction occurs from heating and cooling.
Since I am a huge Detroit Tigers fan it is done in their team colors. I primed and painted the ceiling white and the walls a silver-gray with a blue and white stripe around the perimeter. The work bench has a orange pin stripe on the facing with a dark blue back-splash that is trimmed with white molding. I also purchased a couple Detroit Tiger fathead logos for the walls and Gladiator storage cabinets. I must say I was very skeptical at first, however it turned out GREAT! What a difference a good paint job makes.
My next project is to decide what to use on the floor? I have been looking at options for about 6 months. I am looking at a product from Sherwin Williams called Rex-thane (not sure if this is the correct spelling). A Sherwin Williams Representative informed me of it, however I can't find any info on it. I just want to use a product that is not too difficult to apply, protects the concrete from the winter salt and looks clean in the summer. I prefer it to be gray in color and reasonably priced. Has anyone heard of it? I am open to other suggestions as well. I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance.
