What lies beneath
Enduring bathroom interiors require solid foundations such as Villaboard® Lining from James Hardie
Most people spend hours choosingtapware, basins, bathtubs and shower enclosures when planninga new bathroom. Yet often, there is little effort put into considering the room's basic foundations.
Wherever there's water, there is potential for moisture or water damage such as rotting walls and shower linings, walls that swell and shift, tiles that fail and structural damage. All of which can cost homeowners'thousands of dollars to repair.
This is why James Hardie's Villaboard® Lining is specified by leading architects and designers for bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, says James Hardie product manager Christa Mair.
"Villaboard lining is a strong, durable fibre-cement sheet, which is resistant to moisture and rotting. It will continue to perform even if it gets wet."
In this bathroom designed by architect Mark Wilson, Villaboard Lining is tiled in wet areas, such as the splashback behind the basins and shower wall. The remainingwalls are painted for a clean, crisp look, says Wilson.
"It's important to ensure the integrity of construction into the future and to guard against possible water damage. Villaboard Lining gives you that assurance."
