    Nail Gun Into Plaster And Lathe

    Hi I'm considering purchasing a nail gun to nail some 12mm MDF to a newly skimmed plaster and lathe wall. MDF is being used to create a panelled wall effect. Do you think this is a suitable method of fixing the MDF? Thanks in advance

    Velux Flashing Kits
