Warm garage

The garage for the car enthusiast is an important room that needs proper decoration. In addition to vehicles, other important items can be stored here: spare parts for cars, tools, household items that are a pity to throw away. All this requires reliable storage. What are the non-standard ways of finishing the garage from the inside, the article will tell.

Garage Interior

Finishing the garage inside is necessary to preserve heat in the room and protect it from moisture. Without finishing work, the humidity in the room will always be increased. Due to dampness:

• The process of rotting the car begins.
• Rust appears on the parts for him.
• Tools spoil.
• Other things become worthless.

Finishing work not only creates an aesthetic appearance in the garage, they improve the hygienic conditions in it. Work in a warm, well-maintained garage will be more convenient, more comfortable and safer.

Finishing Material Requirements

You can not purchase the first material found for decoration inside the garage. This is due to the increased security rules in it. It contains flammable, flammable materials, and any spark can lead to unforeseen consequences. Material requirements for the interior decoration of the garage are presented in the table:

Alternative wall materials

Standard garage wall finishes:

• Plaster.
• Tile.
• Lining.

But besides this, you can use other options, such as:

• Siding. It is mounted, like the lining, on the crate, but is mounted only horizontally, which requires the installation of the crate to be carried out vertically.

Garage Siding

Siding can be from:

1. Plastic.
2. Metal.
3. Asbestos cement.

Tip: Use plastic or metal for the inner cladding. Outside - asbestos cement siding.

The technology is similar to installing a plastic lining oriented horizontally:

1. The start profile is set below.
2. Siding plates are inserted.
3. The plates on top of the crate are screwed with screws.
4. This technology is repeated to the very top: the edge of the upper is inserted into the groove located on the bottom plate.

Tip: All hinged cladding materials mounted on the crate, except for metal, can not be fixed rigidly. A small damper gap should be left around the perimeter of the wall, which will allow the cladding not to deform under seasonal temperature fluctuations.

• Professional sheet. The thickness of the metal is selected 0.4 - 1.2 mm.

Finishing the garage with painted professional sheet

Most often, the material has a zinc coating. But for a garage it is better to purchase sheets painted with powder paint. Their advantages:

1. The beauty.
2. Reliability.
3. Long service life.

Theoretically, the profiled sheet can be mounted directly on the wall, but it is better to mount it on the crate. In this case, the sheets are fixed with screws. The use of rubber or polymer washers protects the metal from corrosion.

Ceiling decoration

Usually, the lining of the ceiling is performed with the same materials as the walls, or in harmony with their decoration.

For direct and fairly even ceilings in the garage, you can purchase ceiling foam panels, their price is not too high, they wash well, and they are glued to the ceiling quickly and easily. If necessary, such panels can be repainted with a different emulsion of water.

Floor creation

Strong and reliable floor in the garage - this is the order and cleanliness of the room. It is necessary that the floor covering:

• Withstand the mass of the car.
• It was frost resistant.
• Easy to clean.
• Withstood mechanical damage.

Along with traditional materials, slag-metal slabs can be used. Their advantages:

• Reliability.
• Strength.
• The beauty of the flooring for the garage, as can be seen in the photo.

Beautiful flooring with your own hands inside the garage can be created from wear-resistant linoleum of the highest quality. But it will be a rather expensive option. The arrangement of the garage in this case should also be unusual. Read more about the arrangement here.

Arrangement of gates

An important role is played by the finish of the garage door, which can also be made not quite standard. For instance:

• For ordinary garage doors, profiled pipes or metal corners are used to make the frame. For quick finishing, with minimal cost, you can purchase foam sheets whose thickness is more than 30 mm and paste over the gates with them. For this, “Liquid Nails” or polyurethane foam are used, which fill all the gaps. For beauty, on top of the foam is covered with foil foam, which is a heater, and reflects heat inside the room.
• Perform interpretation of the carcass cladding. To do this, a wooden frame is attached to the profiled pipe or corner, and then any facing material is sewn onto it. In this case, the insulation is laid inside.

All the nuances of custom wall, ceiling, floor and garage door finishes can be seen in the video. In any case, each owner himself chooses how to arrange a room for a car. The main thing is that it should be dry, warm and comfortable not only for vehicles, but also for its owner.
