    Wet dash to exterior of Edwardian house, or silicone render?

    Tulipwood instead of MDF?

    sorry I was taking rubbish. It’s not the shininess of the paint it’s the “spongy” textured look of the mdf that she doesn’t like. So would the tulip be better?

    Tulipwood instead of MDF?

    Hi Been quoted same price for architraves, picture rail in either tulipwood or MDF. My wife thinks that mouldings in MDF look a bit too shiny (!?) when painted, but do any of you have any experience of tulipwood and would you recommend it? Thanks
