FRP interior panels? Not finding much on here

[javajoe79]

Who uses what for interior walls and ceiling? Planning on FRP panels in my build but I am open to suggestions. We want a couple different colors and patterns and to keep the weight down so those are the main concerns.

I also have a radius in the top roof corners so hopefully something that will bend a good bit. I have seen 1/16" plastic panels that I believe will bend that much

Different colors other than shades of white are almost non excisting. You can form curves only with the FRP skin itself, not as a sandwich panel. If you absolutelly want to create a curve there is almost no way around building a wooden frame , clad the structure with FRP and insulate in between.

There are all sorts of colors and patterns available in FRP. Are we talking about something different?

For decorative use inside they are fine. But I would not use them on the exterior. I assume they are not as puncture resistant as the ones that are designed for the trucking industry and possibly not as UV stable.

My exterior is 100% aluminum skin so no worries there.
