Corrugated metal shower, one year update

[@dottyjyoung]

Thank you! I'm working on a vintage camper renovation, & this is absolutely what I want to do.

[@novelettecampbell2457]

Great job my friend I'm doing my bathroom just like that

[@privateeye2490]

EXACTLY what I was seeking. I want to glue, not screw. Thank you!

[@brewsterly2927]

About to do similar, so thanks for your last vid and the update.

[@Anne5928]

Love this, planning to do something like this in our new house.

[@taniagustafson4434]

bar codes come off with a little bit of acetone.

[@adobetradingpost2236]

Beautiful!!! Lol. Good job! Thank you for the video.

How is the shelf mounted without leaking through an hold bunch of junk on it?

[@mjremy2605]

Excellent! Just what I wanted to know. No rust, and soap scum is minimal. Must be harder to clean though with the grooves. I want to do this for my RV bathroom. I can add a tile floor but its better to do a removable shower pan in case. The trick to tiling wet applications or moving vehicles is to use Polymer in Thinset and Grout, both. No tile ever comes off. Tiles should be under 2 inches in length as well. I wonder what you used to seal the bottom ledge where it meets the shower pan tile?

[@joseturrubiates-i2y]

please let me know how i can do that , iam trying to do a shower for my shelf at my house thanks alot

I laughed, I cried, I hurled.

Nick, thanks for the update! My wife and I are trying to do this to a basement shower that was originally a dry-locked cinderblock enclosure with a concrete floor (60s basement construction!). We're going to use a waterproofing membrane on the walls and floor and then tile the floor, but do corrugated metal panels for the walls as you have. Are the corner drip edge pieces still necessary? Can't seem to find brushed aluminum or galvanized steel pieces like you used at HD.

[@nickydoes]

Colby, here's the drip edge I used: Internet #202092840 Model #15553 UPC Code #099137234501 Store SKU #417394 www.homedepot.com/p/Gibraltar-Building-Products-2-3-4-in-x-3-in-x-10-ft-Galvanized-Steel-Drip-Edge-Flashing-15553/202092840 77 in stock at my local Depot.

[@tinman1955]

It's brilliant. Ugly as sin but I can't see why it couldn't work as well as expensive panels or tile. I'll paint the panels if I decide to go that way. Or maybe use the plastic panels.

[@dawnc5797]

So, no odor of mold that could happen behind the metal from condensation due to humidity and temperature changes? This is my number one concern.

[@nickydoes]

Insulate the stud cavities behind the shower with fiberglass .Condensation happens when warm, humid air circulates onto cold surface. The insulation eliminates circulation of air, and maintains the same temp on both sides of the metal.

[@dawnc5797]

@@nickydoes thank you. It's been about 10 years since I needed to know this stuff so I'm a bit rusty. I have your initial video saved to watch I just haven't had the time to sit down and do it yet.

[@robertscott8378]

What do you clean this with ?

[@cindylouwho1927]

I love it and want this in my bathroom

[@elliottashleyb]

Okay this shelf. I need to know what you used.

[@nickydoes]

These are the angle brackets. I made the shelf from PVC board, also from Home Depot. GA 3-1/4 in. 18-Gauge Gawww.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-GA-3-1-4-in-18-Gauge-Galvanized-Gusset-Angle-GA2/100375243lvanized Gusset Angle

[@desireeanderson3275]

I would like to do this around my tub you said you used a foam behind the plastic part were knob is what foam did you use? Do you think the tub surround adhesive will work to adhere to wall better than nailing? I was thinking of sitting it flush from tub to ceiling and using clear caulk completely around tub do you have any better suggestions or tips not in video? Thank you kindly

[@nickydoes]

I used these "closure strips". They're wavy on one side, and flat on the other. Perfect!

[@boomer8825]

Did the tin keep its shine. I used same type tin to line my dasement living area but only to a height of 30 inches. Problem I had was keeping the shine. The oils from hands made dulling smudges and nothing I found cleans it to bring back it's shine. Thanks Bob K.

[@nickydoes]

I'd say it's reasonably shiny. Vinegar will bring back the shine of galvanized metal.

[@samualsorenson3497]

Can I ask if the little corner shelf is painted steel or pvc? Working on putting one of these in but going to need to put in a shelf or 2.

[@nickydoes]

It's PVC, made from two pieces of 6 in wide trim edge glued together with PVC cement, then cut into triangles. The brackets are Strong Tie 3-1/4 gusset angles (GA) here: www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-GA-3-1-4-in-18-Gauge-Galvanized-Gusset-Angle-GA2/100375243

[@pattiedwards1504]

How did you mount the shutoff knob so it is sealed to keep water from running behind it?

[@nickydoes]

Hello Patti, the mounting was normal. The sealing was more involved. I had to fabricate the covers to make a flat surface for the faucets. I used these foam sealing strips to keep the water out. www.homedepot.com/p/Palruf-36-in-Horizontal-White-Foam-Roof-Closure-Strips-5-Pack-92521/100049309

[@ghosttheoremproductions5469]

Do you have active ventilation in the bathroom? And/or are the panels sealed off at the top? I'm debating doing this but I'm a little worried about steam making it behind the panels and then dealing with moisture collecting.

[@nickydoes]

The bathroom is ventilated. Most codes require a window or powered ventilation for bathrooms.

[@sueblack1768]

I'm doing ine of these now how do I so the bottom of the shower what did you use for bottom trim

[@nickydoes]

I used 1 in thick PVC board from Home Depot. Something like this, but not as tall.

[@nomorebsforme]

What did you do to make the hot and cold stem stick long enough with the tin being rippled how to make the handle turn?

[@nickydoes]

The faucet you install must be able to work with a wall at least as thick as the wavy corrugations. Most faucets have a spec sheet where this dimension is shown.

[@reneehurley3100]

You glued it all the way? No screws?

[@nickydoes]

I sure did.

[@isaacdelgado38]

Ow did you put that shower spout on there ? Just foam? Que kind of foam? Thanks

[@nickydoes]

The shower faucet trim screws hold the panel against the corrugated metal.

[@youaretheinternet4466]

Can you paint it

[@nickydoes]

It's zinc galvanized steel. Research painting galvanized surfaces. I'd think yes.

[@joseturrubiates-i2y]

how did you do shampoo selfs?

[@nickydoes]

I made it from cellular PVC, from Home Depot. It is mounted with two Simpson Strong Tie angle brackets, also from Home Depot.

[@BreeaunaC85]

Did you use PVC liner underneath it? Thank you

[@nickydoes]

PVC liner under the floor, and 18 in. up the walls. After 18 in, no need for a liner.

[@BreeaunaC85]

@@nickydoes Thank you so much

[@alfredobrown]

How yo you keep it clean?

[@nickydoes]

Common household cleaners, but nothing acidic or caustic. Acidic cleaners will take off the galvanizing, leaving the base steel metal exposed to rust.

[@jimmybingham9250]

It's leaking water around the bottom

[@cjleongson]

no screws? just glue?

[@nickydoes]

Yes. It has really held up well.

[@amynellful]

How do you wash it?

[@nickydoes]

Normal way. No acidic cleaners, though

[@uzis4life]

Im building this in a s hool bus lol

[@nickydoes]

Corrugated. Inside and out!
