Half Of My Garage Ceiling Has Sheet Metal

My attached garage was hand framed but they didn t use too many rafters over the open ceiling.

Half of my garage ceiling has sheet metal.

They come either waxed or unwaxed depending on whether or not you want the overall look of the ceiling to be shiny or dull. These tiles can be installed over a traditional drywall ceiling and either painted or left bare. Create this look with simple corrugated sheet metal or even metal roofing panels which come in steel. Shiny metal panels have long served as a stylish finish for high end garages and workshops.

Car barn or converted lounge a garage needn t be a catchall for life s clutter or little more than an oil splattered parking spot. From inlaid lights to superior quality beams metal sheeting painted drywall and beyond your garage ceiling can lift your space out of mere man cave to the ultimate destination on your off hours. Complete cork panels can be purchased at home improvement stores. Most local building codes require drywall or other fire resistant finish covering the ceiling framing.

As such i didn t feel comfortable with a ton of gypsum suspended from it so i went with corrugated steel paneling like that used on pole buildings just for the ceiling the walls are 5 8 fire rated sheet rock.
