Could I install this over bare sheetrock in my garage that has only received the minimum tape and mud for fire protection, and then paint the walls?

I really do not see a reason for that. this paper is just a slick paper and not sure about painting over it. it is used to wall paper over when there is a brick wall or bad under layment. there is a wall paper meant to be painted. maybe you should look in to that.

Yes. I used it over bare sheet rock with several imperfections in a bathroom, and then used 1 layer of primer and 2 coats of paint and it worked very well.

I am a professional installer and you would be able(you have probably already done it) to install these speakers with anything 1" or less as the tabs will acommodate that dimension. The bigger issue is that ceiling tiles cannot support this weight over time. Any humidity and you will be sitting on your couch holding your speakers in your lap. Sheet rock is completely different and will support these speakers. There are sheet metal surrounds to help disperse the weight of these speakers, and you must use them, otherwise it is just a matter of time until they come down. Don't suggest using any combustible material as if there is a fire, then insurance will be negated.

You probably could use spray paint. The application requires wetting the paper (self-adhesive), so if you used spray paint it would be after putting it up on the wall. That might be a daring endeavor to avoid overspray. I used an interior latex paint using a paint roller. It's a beautiful pattern and it mimics punched tin ceiling tiles. I used it to create a faux backsplash in a kitchen. I highly recommend this wallpaper; beautiful and a great buy.

We did not install over existing insulation. We used this in the upstairs of our house that is just being finished. Yes, we overlapped strips where needed by about 2" just with staples.

I doubt that it is fire rated since it is basically 1/4" plywood. Is the ceiling of your garage fire rated? If it is something that prevents fire spread, that may be something that is code in your area. If that is the case, check with local authorities to see if it can be used. Most garage ceilings in my area are sheet rock or plywood, so I think it would work here in Arkansas.

I applied it to studs using drywall screws, and then covered it with the drywall. The material is very heavy and may not hold up with just an adhesive.

Christine,Yes..First, you can go to Home depot and get some 1 inch rigid insulation. Fabricate a box to cover the light housing. Then set it over the light can & apply a thin bead of yhis foam around the edges. Remember, interior walls where electrical and plumbing penetrations are at the top of the wall plate as well.Insulating without "air-sealing" is a waste of your money. This product works very well. Amazon also has the tool yoy need to use with this insulation foam. And remember, if the material in the tip becomes hard, just spray some WD-40 in it and it will be good to go.~Kevin Christine,Yes..First, you can go to Home depot and get some 1 inch rigid insulation.

We installed on an unpainted wall and had no problems peeling off or wall damage when we needed to for corrections. However, I can't speak for installation over painted walls.

Hello, About your installation I believe you are suppose to have a one hour fire wall between the main part of the house and the garage, in case a fire breaks out in the garage. If you punch a hole in the ceiling you will defeat the purpose of the fire protection. Now if inside the attic area of the garage there is a one hour fire wall separating the main house from the garage then you might be ok. But all you will be moving is the air in that section only. I believe it's against the code to to punch a hole in the one hour fire wall. For your protection you should ask a contractor in your area or the building department.

I doubt it, it is not shielded and nor is it specifically fire rated. But it's also not carrying any current so personally I think it's a grey area but if you are concerned about potential fire then get something CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation.

You could probably still do it, mine does not get that hot undernesth even with a large fire. Would have to watch out for sparks though. Sparks and hot cinders can still pop out through screening. Another recommendation is to get a good cover if you dont already have one, i have mine covered with heavy canvas that was cheaper than buying brand name. If you have any other questions, let me know. Very happy with my Landmann!

Yes, you put mud in the feed spot then pull the tape through then apply straight to the joint. Ceilings it works just the same!

I don't know mine was applied to Sheetrock I would think as long as very smooth concrete it would be fine but otherwise dunno. Try contacting the seller perhaps?

Yes, I believe you can use whatever wall paint you would use to surround it.

Yes, unless you want scratches. The drill will slip and you'll be glad you used tape. I used both, the included tape and 2in painters tape 3 layers thick. If there is a difference in ordinary painters tape and the provided tape I couldn't tell.

Physically this should work, however, the wall between the garage and the rest of a house is likely fire-rated, and installing this between the house and garage will also likely negate that fire-rate-ability. -greg frohring

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.
