Problems With Expanding Particle Board In Moist Areas
The video discusses the problem that can occur when you use particle board to fill the gap between a mirror and the wall in a bathroom. Particle board is a type of wood that is made from compressed wood shavings. It is often used as a building material because it is cheap and easy to work with.
However, particle board is also very susceptible to moisture. When particle board gets wet, it can expand and warp. This can cause the mirror to become loose and even fall off the wall.
Greg recommends that you do not use particle board to fill the gap between a mirror and the wall in a bathroom. Instead, you should use a material that is more resistant to moisture, such as drywall or plaster.
He also recommends that you seal the edges of the mirror with a sealant to help prevent moisture from getting behind the mirror.
