    Window boards just went in there, and the lads are telling me that I should look at protecting them while the plastering is going on.

    What's the best way to do this?

    Was thinking same - but won't varnish also help prevent the window boards from warping due to damp while the house is "drying out"?

    You could also plastic wrap them.

    primed MDF window boards installed. any way i can protect these from absorbing any extra moisture during plastering? i hear they can bubble or warp. plasterboard will be stuck with gyproc compound onto airtight tape around windows and then skim coat onto the plasterboard.

    I didn't think that MDF could warp? I put in Oak and they were a disaster....despite sanding and varnishing 3-4 times before putting them in a few have already warped.
    Do you have Tilt n Turn windows?
