What are the walls in the garage made of?
Even at the design stage of the garage, you should think about its interior decoration and wall cladding. It’s one thing if the walls of the garage are built of bricks – neat masonry can even do without finishing. It’s another matter if you have chosen large concrete blocks for construction, which will look too gloomy and unaesthetic even in the garage without facing. We figure out how to decorate the walls in the garage, and what materials are best to use.
The garage is a specific room. Firstly, in most cases the garage is not heated, so the temperature drops will be significant. Secondly, high humidity may be present here. Thirdly, harsh chemicals as well as flammable liquids are used in the garage. After all, there are many sources of dirt in this room.
The finishing material
The finishing material must withstand all these factors, therefore the following requirements are put forward for it:
resistance to temperature extremes, frost resistance.
In an unheated room, there can be a lot of fairly significant temperature jumps in just one season. Not every finishing material will be able to cope with such an impact, while maintaining the integrity and all its performance;
fire resistance.
Gasoline, diesel and many other substances used for car maintenance and care are very flammable. In order for the garage to be a safe place for both the car and its owner, it is necessary to choose materials that are as fire resistant as possible;
mechanical strength.
Since bumps and collisions in the garage are not excluded, it is better to choose a cladding that can withstand such an impact;
resistance to aggressive chemicals.
Household cleaning products, getting on some materials, can destroy them. If you do not want the cladding to lose its aesthetics and important performance after a few months of operation, it is better to choose a material that tolerates contact with fuels and lubricants, acids, oils, greases and other substances;
ease of care.
The garage is a rather dirty room, but it is necessary to keep it clean, and it will be easier to do this with a lining that is easy and quick to clean;
price. Each has a different budget, but in each price category there are more or less suitable materials;
aesthetics.
The appearance of the garage wall decoration, of course, is important, but not key. Aesthetically, the cladding is required to be neat.
Some car owners would add ease of updating to this list of requirements. Even the strongest and most durable material sooner or later gets old, and when that moment comes, it will be better if the cladding is as simple as possible to refresh, or just replace some of its elements.
Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from, and you can choose the most suitable materials for interior decoration of the walls of the garage.
