installing beadboard
Hi Folks,
I plan on installing beadboard in my kitchen and it will be a first for me so I have a few questions. 1) I don't want to use cement glue or any other adhesive to attach the beadboard directly to drywall. I might want to remove it one day or a future resident would like to without the complication of installing new drywall. Can I attach 1/2" to 3/4" long wood strips (some call them furring strips) to the studs from the outside of the drywall to give myself a nailing surface to attach the beadboard? Do you see any problem with this being that there will be a small air pocket between the drywall and the beadboard ? (moisture/mold, even firehazard) 2) Do I need some moisture barrier between the drywall and beadboard since there will be a void between the two surfaces ? 3) Outlets: What's the best way to handle the outlets since the beadboard will be 'floating' off the drywall. Will I have to extend the junction box out to the surface of the beadboard ? Or just purchase longer screws for the outlets to attach to the junction box. Remember I don't want to use any adhesives if at all possible for the above cited reasons. I think that's it for now. Thanks in advance. |
