What do you guys think? Do you like how it turned out? Here are some of the supplies and tools I used in my installation: FRP Glue: amzn.to/2XCo51v Wall Roller: amzn.to/2G05Wou Oscillating Tool: amzn.to/2xDLrto FRP Trowel: amzn.to/2XBN8qD
Here in B.C. Canada we're paying about $70 a sheet. That's the thin (1.9mm) stuff. A total ripoff, but that's how Canadians are ripped off every day for building materials.
You mentioned that your shop isn’t always heated. Have you found that everything gets covered in condensation when you turn the heat on in cold weather? I find this occurs when I use a propane salamander to heat my garage.
Not really. I have condensation form on my windows when the heat is off for long periods. When I turn the heater on it usually evaporates. Heat from a hot vehicle pulled in the garage will keep it above freezing unless it's wicked cold outside (below 0f)
Getting ready hang some in my garage. As for expansion goes, did you leave a small gap at the bottom to allow for expansion? I'm going horizontal with my sheets so no worries about the top portion.
I did leave a gap. I used 2 paint stir sticks. We put the stir sticks on the ledge then set the panel on the sticks as we pushed them up the wall. Then removed the stir sticks when the panel was stuck.
Hey, your shop looks like my shop, heater, Bendpak, and all! I am about to do the FRP as well (but I'm going to go horizontal and only go up 48"). How is yours holding up? I was considering riveting as opposed to gluing, so the panels would be easier to change out in the future - Do you think this is an okay idea? The shop looks great BTW. Great channel too
It's been fine. I'd for sure put it up in the summer so the panels are in their expanded state. I've had no issues since they've been up. No yellowing, no peeling, nothing. I havent had a need to change one. I'm sure rivets would make it easier to change panels. I know mine aren't coming down anytime soon. Thanks for watching.
Could not find the FRP's you used from Lowes but they sell a plastic panel for 20 bucks that looks pretty good. www.lowes.com/pd/Parkland-Plastics-48-in-x-8-ft-Embossed-White-Matte-Plastic-Wall-Panel/3436816 I have used hardboard panels in bathrooms that have worked out pretty good. I know of a body shop that uses vinyl flooring for their floors and walls in their paint booths. After a few months to a year they strip the floors and put new on. It's cheap and works real well for them.

Looks awesome, easy to clean and durable!
Great job! Only video on RUclips that answers all questions 👍
Looks really professional!
Thats a nice garage
Very informative,thank you.
Great video!
Nice job on the paneling. Crazy deal at $20/sheet. At my Lowes they sell for $40 for 4x8 sheet, must be the Alaska premium.

@@RepairGeek that's what I kind of was thinking. Thanks for confirming that Sir much appreciated. 🙏

Did you use 12 gallons of glue for 32 panels, or did u mean 12 3.5 gallon buckets for 32 panels. Thanks
12 gallons of glue.

Just had to install this on the ceilings of 2 garages today. Not fun
I couldn't imagine doing a ceiling. I'm sure you'd have to hold it in place for a bit while the glue cures.
