Hello,
What do y'all consider to be the most inexpensive and easiest wall finish? What are the trade-offs?
Wallboard? Paneling?
It seems to me that the easiest would be paneling, but then this might be somewhat energy inefficient.
Thanks,
Mike
I think for most projects, buying materials new, you would find drywall the least expensive. Also, when properly installed it can be a very effective air barrier and thus is energy efficient. Search for "airtight drywall".
Drywall also has advantages in stopping many fires (and slowing those that are already going).
