How To Install A Corrugated Metal Accent Wall

Execution time for our industrial basement! A few weeks ago I told Aaron “What if we did a metal accent wall in the area of our future wet bar?” And he said, “Totes, let’s do it!” I googled it, and this was the first thing I saw. Once I knew it was a Lowe’s Creative Idea, I knew it was on my basic DIY level. AND- It cost less than $50. Word.

Prepping the wall:

Remove baseboards, and secure corrugated wood strips to the bottom and top of the wall using drywall screws.

Next, we changed out the blade on the Skill Saw to a blade specific for cutting metal. Then, we created magic.

Isn’t Aaron a hunk? Especially with those fiery power tools. Hubba hubba.

They screwed the sheets of metal to the corrugated wood using Tuftex DeckDrain Fasteners (Piercing Cap-Washered).

Then we admired our shining wall jewel. It’s like watching a hair commercial. You know? Shiny hair. I’m patiently waiting for Garnier Fructis to offer to sponsor this wall.

SASSY!

MMMM! It was so easy. It took Aaron, Parker, Kami and Me less than an hour. And me and Kami mostly watched and played with the pups.

Other corrugated metal uses:
- Corrugated Metal Ceiling
- Corrugated Metal Wainscoting
- Corrugated Metal Back splash
- Corrugated Metal Headboard

When I was younger, I participated in Competition Dance. One of my dance studios that I spent a lot of time in had a really cool metal accent wall like this. One of the best part was that, after competitions, she would take magnets and hang up our ribbons on the wall for a few days, so we could really look at our accomplishments. I think it would make a cool ever-changing art display using magnets, too. I love the idea!

  That is a genius idea! Magnets! Corrugated metal might be fun in a kitchen too, with this magnet idea. Thanks for stopping by Jenni!

Thanks for the post, now I sort of know how the heck to do it. We are installing a corrugated metal “garage door” in Destructo’s room (if I ever get to it!) and I’ll be referencing your mad skills!

Having trouble finding the corrugated wood strips, where did you find yours?
- Kenz
  
  Hey Kathy! We bought them at Lowes. They were in the back near the roofing supplies. If you ask a store associate, they should be able to help you find it. Good luck!

    Thank you. I’ve been looking online at Lowes and Home Depot, both do not have in store…but I will keep looking.

      I tried to look it up online, but couldn’t find it. but they do have it in the store. I saw it this weekend. I would try calling them and asking them about it if you’re still needing it.
