FAQ

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.
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.
I'm afraid that joint compound might not adhere well to plywood.
It will stick just fine. I have painted wood paneling this way too...by taping all the seams just like you would dry wall, and filling the grooves as well. Once it is sanded and painted it looks just like drywall.
I read that fiberglass insulation that has a backing sheet should have the backing sheet toward the heated space. The insulation in the basement ceiling has the backing sheet toward the inside of the basement not the bottom of the floor above. Does this trap moisture and cause a lot of harm or does it just make the insulation less effective? Do I need to take it all down and start with new insulation? Should I just add a new layer over the top what is there?
Insulation in a finished basement ceiling is for noise, rather than thermal. Ideally, it will not have a vapor barrier, which is what the paper is. You should use unfaced batts, and use retainers to keep it in place. You can leave it how you have it, however, as long as there isn't a huge difference between the temps of the basement and the upstairs. If the area is not finished or heated, such as a crawlspace, there is a very real possibility that moisture could collect in the insulation, leading to mold issues. The insulation in that scenario MUST be installed with the vapor barrier up. That is NOT just for walls. Hope this helps.
What type of contractor would be able to remove the insulation from the crawlspace ceiling and put it against the outside wall where it would actually be useful?
The insulation isn't making your floor cold, the weather is. And by code, your exterior walls are already insulated.
My studio apartment doesn't have an attic. A lot of the installation videos and articles I read online are about installing foil insulation a couple inches below the roof and above the room's ceiling. Does it matter if I install it under the ceiling (that is, the foil barrier is visible to me when inside the apartment)?Aesthetics isn't an issue. I don't mind seeing the foil. I just want to know if I can still achieve the same results whether or not I install above the ceiling. Thanks!
The foil would only radiate visible light back toward you, and fiberglass insulation ( or rigid polyisocyanurate panels covered with drywall) would create a barrier to keep the heat in your room. If just foil worked, you would assume no one would bother with installing 10 thick fiberglass to achieve an R-38 rating and spend thousands of dollars if a couple hundred of foil would do it.
I was replacing a bathroom fan and the new bathroom fan is bigger than the old one. I took out the old one. Then I used a pencil and traced around the new fan. Then I used a reciprocating saw for the first time and got a little crazy with it. Now the hole is slightly too big and when I put the grill cover on the fan, I can see the hole. I'm not sure what to do now. I still got old pieces of the ceiling. Maybe I can do something with it?
Don't okorder It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
Glass fiber plant to waste silk down in our here, this is harmful to our living environment?
In the past, they are sometimes used to do ceiling cotton, and now have been eliminated. It is because they cause damage to the human respiratory system, so the state put this thing included in the ban on the list.
Today, i found my cat sleeping on insulation from the ceiling in our garage. We think this may be why he has been losing his fur on his tummy, armpits, and knees, the skin is pink. Could him sleeping on the insulation be the cause for his fur loss? He also has been constantly licking and cleaning himself. When he cleans himself, he also grabs onto his skin, and pulls it, i guess scratching it because it's itchy.
I think the cat must be cold. Your name is Brooklyn so I'm assuming youre cat lives in new York and the weather must be getting cold there. God bless your kitty and the rest of the family. Everyone who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. To you and your household.
