Hi, first time posting here!
I'm in the process of designing the staircase for our loft conversion and have been inspired by work done in a hotel we recently stayed at (The Dart Bridge Inn in at Buckfastleigh if that helps!).
They seemed to have clad walls with a smooth surface board (MDF I'm assuming) with battens/mouldings covering the joints and equally spaced battens in the centres for uniformity of the pattern, then coated with a satin finish paint. We thought looked really nice and would like to replicate in our build.
I'm happy with constructing the stud wall & staircase, but what I was wondering that if it is acceptable for building regulations to clad a new stud wall directly with MDF boards or if I need to use plasterboard then clad with the MDF on top for fire regulations (the other side of the stud wall will be plasterboard & plastered).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
