Hello...

We are redoing our laundry room, and instead of wallpaper or the like, we are thinking of having paneling on the wall... Or horizontal timber slats with about 5 mm spacing, which we then paint...

Now to the question... Is it okay to have wind barrier paper behind the "panel"? It's a simple and stylish way to get a black background for the planks... The same is planned for the ceiling...

Are there any rules or issues preventing this? I'm mostly thinking about fire risk or the like since the paper will be around some spotlights in the ceiling...

Or is there any other material that would be more suitable for this?

Feel free to share your thoughts and call me out for any silly ideas :)

regards
 
Regarding fire risk, I don't know, but I would assume there's a risk of odor. The cardboard smells a bit like asphalt or whatever it is.
 
hmmm I smelled the pappen and I couldn't detect any strong scents, but it's hard to know before everything is up
...
Anyone know of any other material that is black that can be placed behind the "panel" ??
 
I have seen carpenters do just as you thought, so it is probably not a big problem.
 
thank you ;)

today it's going up anyway... it will be a bit different on the ceiling because of the spotlights, there I only place strips of the wind protection so it just covers the gap between the planks... all to be on the safe side :)

regards
 
I have put windproofing on the inside as you describe and it has worked well without odor...
 
Black-painted masonite also works very well
