Installing a Shop Ceiling with plastic roof panels - Build a workshop

The ceiling in the shop is 10 foot tall. Much too tall to hold up sheetrock or even OSB as a ceiling install. That is one of the reasons I have decided to go with plastic roof panels as a ceiling cover. These corrugated plastic panels are light wight and look nice. They are installed with metal roofing rubber washer screws.

Those roof panels are a great idea, saves on plastering, sanding & painting etc. Great work.

I like them! It was fast to put up and looks nice.

Looks good Seth! I like that you don’t have to paint that stuff. It appears to be low maintenance and easy to install.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

No paint was a determining factor in my selection for sure! It was easy to put up but I had some issues with alignment.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Looks very very nice!

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you. It was a good choice for working alone and price.

I’ve done this under my second story decks as a ceiling. I use a fine tooth plywood blade - worked pretty well. Nice video

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Yes! Lots of people use this plastic under porches to make a dry room. Seems like it will hold up forever inside like this.

[@davidnichols5547]

turn your blade backwards

[@RamiroRamirez62]

Awesome 👍

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you. These have done well so far.

Interesting. Hadn't seen this use before.
Where I live, a prelim step would be sealing the insulation to cutdown on drafts in cold weather.
Seth, what is the fire-rating on the panels?
cheerio

[@sethcraftworkshop]

The polycarbonate panels have a low fire rating. Looks like they can be exposed to open flame for around a while before burning.

Would this hold up R40 blow in insulation? Looking at different options for my garage ceiling

[@sethcraftworkshop]

With the quantity of fasteners that I used. I should think it would hold up R40 just fine.

Necessity is the mother of invention! 😆😆😆

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Yes true. These plastic panels are nice for this application. Went up quickly and looks nice.

[@perryleaks4859]

Fire code?

[@sethcraftworkshop]

These panels are rated to withstand fire and do not put off toxic fumes or drip.

that looks like a tin roof put a tegra ceiling upits easy and cheap

[@sethcraftworkshop]

For this space and working alone it has done well. I could have made the seams a lot cleaner but it's not bad.
