Showing your age there!

Cant recall the sketch though!
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the road with a bald head and beer gut, and still think they look good.

Re: Cladding

Its a good call..
We did that in a Primary a few years ago, just used sheets on their side (widest possible, so less cutting) and it stopped all the chair / bag marks a treat.
Like you said, from there up it is the periodic Dulex Diamond Magnolia [Like.png]

It was easier with two of us manhandling the sheets...
The cladding adhesive worked just fine but "2-4 tubes a sheet" is overkill..
Pretty sure one tube was plenty...

Re: Cladding

This is exactly a project I am costing now. It’s a long time coming but we are having the whole dining hall covered. One coloured feature wall around the serving hatch, and the remaining walls another colour at approximately 1.5m high which covers tables banging against the wall.
Some of the costing and sheet sizes mentioned here are way out…. As Nail has said look at cladding monkey, coloured sheets are are up to 10x4 foot and under £80 per sheet.
The best quote iv had so far is a tad under 4k including installation for around 60m of sheeting.

Re: Cladding

Our old decorator used to use gloss paint up to around 1.8M height. Used to last reasonably well as long as you stop the cleaners using scotchbright pads on it. Most things could be wiped off relatively easily.
