The plumbers have been and we now have central heating. Due to the concrete floors the pipework is all on the surface - in most cases running just above the skirting (and will just need painting - what sort of paint for hot pipes?), but in a couple of places runs at high level along a wall, or has a vertical drop down an alcove. I'd like to box it in to make it look neater. Along the high-level run, I'll need a box about 2.7m long and 50mm*70mm in cross section. Down the alcove, I just want to make the alcove look 50mm smaller - so I guess I want to be able to plaster the work I do. I really don't know what to use - plasterboard? Ply? MDF? Hopefully Dad's old(er) bench saw is coming my way soon, so I'll not have to be cutting whatever manually!
