Shop Brightened With Sheet Metal

Shop Brightened With Sheet Metal FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 27-5-36 Mark Siegle will never have to paint the inside walls of his shop, thanks to the bright, reflective sheet metal he lined it with. Fire risk is also less. Siegle is self-employed as a gas pipeline insulator and sheet metal worker. He noticed that gas plant buildings have metal interior liners made from aluminum sheeting. He liked the look and decided to finish the walls and ceiling of his own 28 by 40-ft. shop with it. The bright metal maximizes light supplied by the shop windows and ceiling fixtures. The metal lining cost him $20 for each 3 by 8-ft. sheet, bringing his total cost to $2,000. As a finishing touch, he added blue metal trim where the ceiling meets the walls, around the windows, and on the joints between sheets.
