I need to put up a platerboard in bathroom cover cover up old loft hatch? do i need to dampproof this somehow as in bathroom where there is a lot of steam? or can i just put this up and skim it over?
put up moisture resistent dry wall if you can find the one that is purple at your supply store,use it it has a mildiside in it ,if not get green-board! CAUTION THOUGHT when putting up over existing, you need a different screw length (based on what you are going through!******** regular wall board isn't fine!!!!!! source------ builder with common sense!!!!!
Regular wall board is fine. the green board is for the walls around the sink, toilet, and tub.
You should just put it up normal, if steam is a problem, you should have an exhaust fan
