Villaboard and wet-area plasterboard: comparing options
Compare these lining choices against the intended wall construction and finish. Villaboard is an internal lining option; use the relevant manufacturer's wet-area guidance to confirm the full substrate and waterproofing arrangement.
Define the selection
Coordinate the lining decision with the responsible wet-area and finishing trades. Request the current installation guide for the selected product and have the project-specific interfaces confirmed before preparing quantities.
Check before comparing products
- Exact internal application and finish.
- Sheet thickness and framing support.
- Jointing, waterproofing and fixing system.
Build a material list that can be checked
