Half Of My Garage Ceiling Has Sheet Metal

Shiny metal panels have long served as a stylish finish for high end garages and workshops.

Half of my garage ceiling has sheet metal.

Cork has become a popular choice for ceilings because it is eco friendly looks nice and is easy to install. Complete cork panels can be purchased at home improvement stores. 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. Metal ceiling tiles such as tin and copper add a touch of sophisticated elegance to a garage perfect for one that houses antique automobiles.

Create this look with simple corrugated sheet metal or even metal roofing panels which come in steel. These tiles can be installed over a traditional drywall ceiling and either painted or left bare. Before starting make sure all insulation and lighting has been installed. My attached garage was hand framed but they didn t use too many rafters over the open ceiling.

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.
