Whalen68 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I am building two interior closets using metal studs. Instead of dry wall I would like to cover with paintable plywood. Can anyone recommend type, thickness and how to affix to the metal studs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 What is it that you're hoping to achieve with the plywood? That will help with the recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whalen68 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 The house is an 1889 Victorian with ornate everything. In between the two closets I have a fireplace mantel. I will be painting the woodwork white and want to incorporate the closets into the scheme. I am thinking a paintable plywood would be a better fit than drywall.

Jim Baird Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) If you are interested in restoration type improvement, remember that in those times nobody had closets. Clothes were hung and stored in chiffarobes! Your time and money would better be spent in antique stores.
