Eclipsa
We’ve got the right internal lining
for every imaginable application.
Garage lining
This high-impact area requires linings that can
take knocks.
Bathroom / Laundry
Preventing water and moisture damage to linings
in these areas is really important.
Kitchen splashback
Kitchen splashbacks need to withstand heat
and dirt build-up and they also need to work
with contemporary designs.
Feature walls
Feature walls require products that look fantastic
in a traditional or contemporary setting.
Interior Linings
Style and
strength from
wall to wall.
Your walls are the backdrop to your life. They can be a stunning feature in their own
right and when you think about how many years they’ll be standing, it makes sense
to choose your colours and finishes carefully.
Consider what’s going on, around and under your walls too. The flexibility to mix,
match and create is the reason leading architects and builders recommend James
Hardie internal linings.
Live and work,
wet and dry.
When you need resilient walls for high impact areas
like hallways, garages and rumpus rooms, choose
something that is specially developed to take the
knocks and stay looking good. Villaboard Lining is
the perfect durable product for your family life. It’s
also resistant to damage from water, so it’s great for
bathroom walls, laundries and shower linings.
