I have a room that has OSB on walls and ceiling and floor. The room is 16' x 14'. I plan to convert this room into my metal fab area. I will be welding in this area and am concerned about burning the place down with smoldering embers. I had a friend lose his garage to a stray spark. I'm looking for some ideas on fireproofing this area. I'm thinking of metal barn siding for the walls and ceiling and maybe hardy or cement board for the floors. I'm concerned that the cement board will be hard to sweep and that the metal barn siding will make it difficult to hang stuff on the walls. I'm also considering just hanging welding curtain in one of the corners and using the backer board just in a quarter of the shop.
Other ideas would be appreciated.
