I anticipate within a few months I'll have a new boiler either on or in front of a sheetrocked wall. Once I get the 5/8 sheetrock up and painted, there's a choice of surfaces to attach the supplies, returns, circs, etc. Plywood seems the usual--I probably won't go for the diamond plate, etc. I'd like to paint the plywood probably a dark color to make it look good. The wall is 7ftH x 10+ft long. I'll probably just buy one 8x4 plywood, paint it, and let the installer decide the size of it, cut it and put it up. Seems funny to cover fireproof sheetrock with flammable wood--any other materials recommended?
