What do I paint on new Plasterboard for a durable finish?
Hi all,
Just had the garage lined with insulation then covered with Plasterboard that has had the joints taped and sealed. This area will be part Utility room and part "free use" space. It has a double glazed window and door. I would normally paint (prime / undercoat) thinned emulsion onto the plasterboard as a first step Question:- I want to paint ONE coat of paint onto the Plasterboard to effect a durable finish. The type of finish is not really an issue ( I.e Matt, Silk, Weathershield , slightly textured etc.) Any hint, tips etc will be gratefully received. Regards Don |

The type of finish is not really an issue ( I.e Matt, Silk, Weathershield , slightly textured etc.) Any emulsion will do the job but if you really want 'durable' then consider something with a lot of vinyl in it, like Crown mid sheen or similar. |

You will not get a good finish in one coat whatever you use (if that matters to you.) -- Tim Mitchell |
