Waterproof plasterboards have played a significant role in transforming the design of Australian residential and commercial infrastructure. As the building industry becomes more conscious and socially responsible, the drive to build green, cost-efficient, energy saving and safer structures are also on the rise.
Choosing wall cladding materials must be based on a careful assessment and prioritisation of each of your client's specifications. With innumerable wall cladding products out in the market today, knowing the best products saves you valuable time.
Help your clients with their decision-making process by knowing the answers to the following questions:
How much will it cost and how long will it take to build?
Weighing at approximately 34 to 38kg per sheet, UBIQ's INEX>RENDERBOARD is lightweight, easy to carry, handle, and install on site. Waterproof plasterboards have a tongue and groove joint down on each long side for a flush tight fit, which makes it easy to install with minimal wastage. INEX>RENDERBOARD doesn't need speciality tools for fixing. The tongue and groove joint also reduces later joint cracking.
