Hello!
I am renovating the vacation house and am thinking of nailing pine beadboard on a wall in the bathroom, planning to nail it directly onto the existing wall, which is a painted building panel from '67. I read in an earlier thread that it's possible to nail directly on, without battens. Does anyone have a different opinion? The panel would be behind the sink in that case.
Then we have a small room with a shower cabin and washing machine. I was thinking of installing paneling there as well. Currently, there is an old wet room wallpaper that has come loose a bit at the seams. It should be fine to nail over it, right? No water will get on it at all. There is ventilation, a window that can be opened and we shower a few times a week during the summer, but not more than that. So it's not particularly humid overall. What do you think? Nail paneling directly over the old wallpaper?

No one dares to give advice on this?J JoakimPe said:Hello!
I'm renovating the vacation house and planning to nail beadboard in pine on a wall in the toilet, planning to nail it directly onto the existing wall which is a painted construction board from '67. I read in an earlier thread that it should be possible to nail directly on, without battens. Anyone who disagrees? The panel would then be behind the sink.
We also have a small room with a shower cabin and a washing machine. I plan to install paneling there as well. Currently, there is an old wet room wallpaper that has loosened a bit at the seams. It should be okay to nail over it, right? There's no water on it at all. There's ventilation, a window that can be opened and we shower a few times a week during the summer, but not more than that. So not particularly humid overall. What do you think? Nail the panel straight on the old wallpaper?
We have nailed beadboard in several places in the house directly on. We were advised to put glue behind it, something we ignored... but in hindsight, it might have been smart since it didn't attach very well everywhere...
Oh well. It's probably just me who sees it. But the panel has warped a little and bulges out in a couple of places. It's held in by the trim at the top and bottom.J JoakimPe said:Glue then. Maybe I'll apply some wood glue
Glue provides a more solid and substantial feel.
I used slightly thicker construction adhesive on the cartridge.
Only nailed in a few places.
Turned out very well.

I have another question about paneling. The inspiration for this project comes from old pictures of bathrooms. When I search for paneling, the product images that appear have 100 times more knots. Is it just how it is nowadays, or is it about finding the right store? The bathroom picture is how I want it; the wood grain is the feature, not the knots. Picture number 2 from store.
Bought knot-free beadboard at a local planing mill
doubtful if larger building suppliers have such stuff

If you're going to paint, it doesn't matter, just apply kvistolja twice and then 3 coats of paint.
I think it's quite unusual to install pärlspont without surface treatment.
