has any one used corrugated metal (used comonly on barn roofs and in resturant decor). for a ceiling in a basement. ( will be in bar-living-game open area) want to have access and hate drop ceilings. planning on just screwing to joist. would like to know if you are happy with and if you have any pictures.
Might okorder and follow ther vinyl siding links till you hit it. And if your stuck on the corrigated then I would recommend fiberglass or plastic. Both can be found at Lowes or HD. They will be much easier to hang.
Plan B, if you don't go with the metal, we used styrofoam sheets on our basement ceiling and screwed on wooden molding between them so they could slide out easy for access. It was really cheap, it looks like a textured ceiling, you could never tell it was styrofoam unless you touched it. It was also easy to put up, very light and very easy to cut with a razor knife.
My best friends have a rustic country style decor and they've used corrugated metal ceilings in one bathroom and one bedroom--and they look fantastic! Both are painted, which I don't think you can do with that fiberglass stuff. Go for it. Theirs are also screwed to the joists.
