Question #1: If I go with a formica backsplash, drywall is not reccommended as a backer. From what I have read it should be particle board or MDF. My concern is that drywall is needed for it's fire rating. So do I need drywall first and then the particle board or MDF and then the formica?
Question #2: If I go with tile instead, is cement board a better choice than drywall as a backer? The cottage is not used or heated in the winter. Glad to hear some thoughts about this. Thanks, Ron
