[fa icon="calendar"] 01/22/2016 / by Katie Smith

Corrugated metal is becoming one of the most sought-after panels for interior and exterior building projects. With expanded options in both size and color, corrugated metal is popping up on new houses and renovations across the country. If you like the look of this wavy material, but aren’t sure where to put it, here are five new ways to update your home with corrugated metal.

1. Kitchen Islands & Bars  

Wrap your island or bar in corrugated metal to upgrade an outdated kitchen. You can choose an interesting print to bring a unique look or opt for a classic neutral color for a transitional style. If you’re looking for a DIY project, this may be one of the easiest you’ll find.

For a more modern style, try using galvanized metal with a dark trim. The bright silver with contrasting black or steel gray trim creates clean lines for the perfect focal point in your kitchen.

For a rustic or country kitchen, use Truten™ A606 corrugated metal panels. These can be pre-rusted outside and coated with polyurethane to maintain the exact rusted look you want for years to come.

 2. Metal Wainscoting 

Installing corrugated metal wainscoting on the outside of your home will add curb appeal without breaking the bank. You can also spruce up the interior of your home with a tough and stylish wainscot. The wainscoting will break up long blocks of color on exterior and interior walls with tall ceilings. Instantly update the look of an older home with this unique and easy accent.

3. Corrugated Metal Wall  

Many builders are mixing corrugated metal with other materials to create eye-catching accent walls on both the exteriors and interiors of homes.
