Showers using corrugated metal are becoming popular by bringing modern industrial style to the bathroom.
But corrugated metal is not a traditional material for a shower area. So naturally, many questions will arise if you consider using this material.
On its own, corrugated metal is not truly waterproof. You must apply a waterproof primer or membrane to make corrugated metal waterproof.
This waterproof primer also must be checked and possibly reapplied every few years so that galvanized steel can maintain the ability to remain waterproof.
Also, any holes or cracks in the metal can allow water to seep inside and bypass the waterproof primer.
Since it’s galvanized, corrugated metals are naturally resistant to rust but not immune to it.
So if you create a rustic tin shower with corrugated walls that receive heavy doses of water daily, they will eventually rust. But it would take a very long time, likely 10 to 20 years, for this rust to manifest.
Properly cleaning and maintaining your corrugated metal can help keep the rust away for the lifetime of your shower.
