jkilkullen I noticed you mixed corrugated metal with wood on the outside of the house. Are ALL the walls in the powder room corrugated metal, or is one of them wood? Just curious.
Tin Shower Walls: How to prevent moisture problems? - Mr. Lym - I want to use corrugated tin like this in a Bath I'm doing, and use it in the shower. Have been told that moisture will get behind the tin and cause problems. How can this be done without worrying about moisture problems behind the tin? It's an old house with tongue & groove wall boards; I planned to put tile backer on the shower walls just as I would if putting ceramic tile up. Can you steer me in the right direction? Thanks very much! »

What kind of shower pan do you have? Are you building it? It's a stumbling block for me. I'm thinking about lowering the pan [modifying floor joists] about 2-3" from floor grade. Tiling the pan, but am chicken to do a mud pan myself, so am looking at Schluter and Laticrete pre-forms.
using galvanized metal as a wainscoat on interior wall - have heard that the metal buckles in the middle, only going up 32 inches connecting to wallboard of some type.
Thank you »
Glenn Robert Lym Architect It depends. This metal is corrugated and hence can stand vertically with bending for quite a height. If you are using a flat sheet, it will depend on the thickness of the metal and or how it is secured to its' vertical surface.
Essential 6: Construction materials. Work in some masculine materials that refer to the construction site or rugged spaces. Corrugated steel, concrete floors, exposed brick, and stone are all good candidates.
