Barry,
The product your talking about would not make a good headliner. The
carboard that was used for headliners was actually "chip board". It is not
corrogated. The Corroplast is corrogated and will not take a bend against
its grain without creasing. As for the corroplast with aluminum on both
sides....Yes there is a product like that, but it is called "Alumilite" and
is over $100.00 per 4x8' sheet. A 1/4" thick piece has the strength of a
1/2" piece of plywood. We use this product for outdoor signage and can tell
you from experience that you can not bend it into a shape like a headliner.
Not that you would considering the cost. In the end I'd say stick with
chipboard or flashing tin if you don't want to use a fiberglass headliner.
