Designed specifically for high-moisture and high-traffic areas, Villaboard lining is an ideal internal wall and ceiling solution for bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and other demanding spaces in residential, medium-density, and commercial buildings. It is versatile enough to be used on both timber and light gauge steel framed structures. Thanks to its superior tensile bond strength, which is significantly higher than that of plasterboard, Villaboard lining can support thicker tiles higher on the wall, maintaining its integrity even when wet. This makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to wear and tear.
With up to 60 minutes of fire rating when used with HardieSmart™ wall systems, Villaboard lining also serves as effective internal bracing. Its composition ensures superior resistance to moisture damage, preventing issues like reduced tile adhesion. Made from James Hardie fibre cement, Villaboard lining remains structurally sound even when wet, unlike many other materials. This results in fewer costly rectifications due to moisture damage. Independent tests conducted in accordance with ASTM D3273-00 have shown no mould growth, earning it a perfect rating of 10. Additionally, Villaboard lining is resistant to termites, rot, and fire.
