Originally, corrugated metal or galvanized sheet metal was used in shipping containers and as metal roofing and siding for warehouses and other industrial buildings. But due to its strength and durability, corrugated metal has been adapted to homes.
Showers using corrugated metal are becoming popular by bringing modern industrial style to the bathroom.
On its own, corrugated metal is not truly waterproof. You must apply a waterproof primer or membrane to make corrugated metal waterproof.
Shower walls are a popular option when it comes to galvanized sheet metal. Indoor showers benefit from corrugated metal’s moisture and mold resistance, while outdoor showers benefit from its durability and structural integrity.
Not to mention the rustic industrial flair that comes with shower walls made of corrugated metal.
Similar to shower walls, a bathtub surround is another popular choice when you want to bring galvanized steel into the bathroom.
Corrugated metal acts as a great protective barrier preventing the drywall behind the steel from getting wet. And in bathtubs, splashes are bound to happen.
