Hey all,
I built a small shed for my home brewing this year. Getting it finished on the inside now. I will be sheet rocking it soon, but I'm thinking about installing hardiePanel on the wall behind the brew structure-just from the concrete floor up four feet. I'll be using Electric for the HLT, but still rock the propane for the two boil kettles (for now). The burners will be about 8" from the back inside wall, so I'm thinking flame-resistance and of course water/wort resistance.
Anybody use the hardiepanel indoors? I know it's tough to cut and weighs a ton, but it's also pretty impervious to water, I think? I can get one panel in with no cuts, and the other with one electric box cut out and a 4' cut to fit the wall. So the install isn't too bad.
I picked up two pre-primed 4x8' smooth surface sheets today from the lumber yard. Kinda spendy stuff, but I understand it takes paint well, can't rot, and should be flame proof?
Here is the product: http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner/products_siding_hardiepanelSiding.py?search_zipcode=retail
Let me know if you have any insights!
Thanks,
