I am doing a bit of redecorating in my flat and I want to cover two duct pipes, one in the kitchen and another in the bathroom.
The previous owner had cover them with chipboard (which I had to remove) and since chipboard is light and cheap I presume that is what I will use a second time?
Do I need a special kind of board seeing as these are humid rooms?
Should I use sealant or similar or is a bit of polyfilla here and there OK?
I want the finished painted surface to look as similar as possible to the plastered walls – how do I achieve this? Are there types of chipboard that are better prepared for painting than others?
I will need to go over entire wall again with eggshell. How do I best prepare chipboard for eggshell?
