Its not April is it??

Hahaha!!

This subject grabbed my attention, as I have a cloakroom shower to do. Noticed the windowsill was made of MDF, and there is also no ventilation.

No doubt the windowsill will be gloss painted, so I guess it is sealed in someway. But if any moisture where to get in the MDF wouldn't it swell up. And for tiling purposes, even just the primer alone would be enough to make it swell up wouldn't it? And I'm assuming these are dry internal walls being talked about, not wetrooms or balconies!!
