Drywall Alternatives
Long before drywall
became the norm there were other options that are trending today. While drywall
has its advantages in construction there are
other options being
used to achieve that perfect room . Depending on your style there are #creative
ways to use different types of materials.
For instance
“Shiplap” is very popular today, even seen more frequently on the home
improvement shows we get up to watch on the weekends.
Shiplap is a simple
plank board that is attached to the studs after the drywall has been removed.
More often it is installed horizontal leaving a small 1/8 gap between
The boards so it can
either be filled with caulk and painted or generally left unfilled simply for
the look.
Another option for
this material is to install it vertical ,
But the look is still
pleasing and different. A diagonal installation also is very popular to grab
your visitors attention.
Tongue and groove
board is also #beautiful, the boards butted together with the premade groove
already there
Requires no caulking
just some primer and paint and your all done. This material can be installed
the same directional options as Shiplap, achieving a different but similar
look.
Tin roof or Metal
roof material is also making a statement. Depending on your style of décor this
option is very unique.
With the wall
preparation being similar to that of vertical shiplap,
Once its installed top it off with a 1x4 combination of wood trim to give it a top heavy look and a
Square edge 2x8 for
base.
Investing in some #reclaimed
wood boards of different sizes and mixing them together is trending now
But will hold its own
for years to come, Mixing different pre painted board colors into your wall will
give
It the WOW factor
everyone is craving, this material too can be installed in varying directions.

Investing in a great contractor
for your renovation is where it all begins.
