  • I'm giving the internal wall lining some more thought and have been mmming and aaahing between MR MDF and plywood.

    If plywood, would you leave gaps between boards and if yes, got any ideas on how to fill them or make them look nice?

    Similar question with MDF? I was thinking it could give a nice smooth paintable surface so could look similar to a plastered finish if done right, but again the joints would be a problem. I imagine any filler I put in there would just crack down the line.

    Any thoughts most welcome!

  • I would use plywood (birch faced) rather than MDF and run a router round the edges to give a 'V' joint between the boards as opposed to trying to hide the joints. Or I would look at planks (maybe plywood ripped) with acoustic cloth behind (see image of office designed by us) or a combination of the two.

  • Ooh what's this acoustic cloth?
    I'd like to have a bit more sound proofing in our garden room.
    Doesn't need to be totally treated as it's not for music. Just thinking about the neighbours really.
