INTERIOR FINISHING
After your walls and ceiling have been insulated, all gaps have been sealed, all seams and joints have
been taped and you have given enough time for the adhesive in between insulation layers to cure, it is
time to finish the interior. While not necessary, finishing the walls prevents accidental damage to the
insulation keeping the integrity of your cooler walls for years to come.
We used FRP to finish the walls and ceiling. This material gives a great appearance, is accessible at most
hardware stores, is easy to install and easy to clean. This material is very common in the restaurant
industry. Some people finish the inside of their coolers with painted plywood as well. We will show you
how to finish your cooler with FRP - the process for plywood is similar except that you can aid yourself
with long wood screws (catching the studs) to hold the plywood in place. It is also recommended to
apply a coat of mildew/mold resistant paint or primer to the wood panels.
• Measure and cut the FRP to cover the walls and ceiling - cutting a bit undersized as appropriate
to allow room for the FRP center and corner strips
• Following the manufacturer's recommendations, apply with a trowel FRP adhesive to either the
insulation or the backside of the FRP. WARNING! Some FRP adhesives are not intended for use
directly over foam, since our rigid foam had foil backing on the front this FRP glue was ok.
Please make sure you are using the proper adhesive for your situation!
