I am considering putting up steel liner on my garage ceiling instead of sheetrock. I am hoping someone can provide some insight
How does steel ceiling with sheetrock walls look? I can't find good pictures online.
Should the metal ceiling be installed before the wall sheetrock?
How do I close off the ends of the metal panels where it will meet the wall (corrugated metal surface vs smooth drywall surface)?
There are two big reasons for considering metal.
One, I will probably be doing this work myself, and I am not looking forward to hanging 5/8" sheetrock alone. Is the metal going to be as big of a pain?
Two, I need to get the attic insulated before winter, and I will not be able to start this work for a couple months. I am planning on using blown insulation, so the ceiling needs to be in-place. Could I use kraft faced batt insulation instead, and install it so the paper is seen when you are standing in the garage looking up? This would allow me to take my time on installing the ceiling finishes.
