A well-planned deck
Turning your traditional patio or verandah into an exciting entertainment space is the perfect way to extend your indoor living space into the outdoors. You’ll want to ensure any materials you use are hard-wearing to stand up against repeated use and the elements (from heavy rain to harsh sunshine), and the renovation itself shouldn’t break the bank. Choosing a product like HardieDeck™ means you get all the elegance of a sleek and sturdy deck without the drawbacks of traditional timber. Made from James Hardie’s™ premium fibre cement, the HardieDeck is a stylish addition to any outdoor space. It works just as well for your exterior dining area as it does around the edges of your pool. Outdoor kitchen for entertaining There’s nothing quite like firing up the barbie and inviting friends and family over for a meal out in the sunshine. A kitchen outside is a great way to use your outdoor space, but you need to ensure the materials around it will be able to withstand the hot summer days and rainy weather, and won’t get stained from spills and dropped food. Linea Weatherboard is the ideal choice for an outdoor kitchen – not only is it modern, durable and easy to install, but it’s resistant to shrinking, swelling and cracking. One last thing to remember for any outdoor kitchen: if you plan to install a barbecue on your deck, make sure the flooring is heat resistant and strong enough to support the extra weight of large appliances.

If you are looking for a full wet area solution, consider Secura™ Interior Flooring and Villaboard™ Lining by James Hardie. These high performing products won’t let you down thanks their superior properties and inherent water resistance. Secura™ Interior Flooring is the perfect option for those who want reliability and fast installation. Secura™ includes tongue and groove joins which can be secured with a nail gun, so there’s no need for pre-drilling and screwing. Villaboard™ is a heavy-duty wall lining. Ideal for use in bathrooms and wet areas, if the waterproofing fails you can rest assure that Villaboard won’t.

James Hardie’s full wet area solution - Secura™ Interior Flooring & Villaboard™ Lining

A Full Wet Area Solution That is Quick and Easy to Install

<p><strong>Do you ever worry about waterproofing failures causing major structural damage? Do you ever suffer job delays due to mortar bed curing? How much time do you spend in levelling floors and drains? How often do you deal with tiles cracking or falling off? Do you worry about damage to walls and ceilings due to moisture? How much time do you spend in extra waterproofing layers to prevent failures?</strong>
We could go on, but let’s not. We all know that finding a waterproofing solution that will last is critical for any wet area (including bathrooms and laundries).</p>
<p>Working together, <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/scyon-secura-interior-flooring">James Hardie’s SecuraTM</a> Interior Flooring and <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/villaboard-lining">VillaboardTM Internal Lining </a>provide a full wet area solution that is easy and quick to install.</p>
<p>Of course, both are made from James Hardie’s premium fibre cement – which means they are extremely durable, and suitable for most types of bathrooms; and because of their inherent water-resistance many areas won’t require you to apply waterproofing membrane, saving you time and reducing the frustration-factor.</p>
<p>Let’s look at each product a little more closely to see how the Secura™ Interior Flooring and Villaboard™ Lining solutions can work for you.</p>
<h2 id="whysecurainteriorflooring">WHY SECURA™ INTERIOR FLOORING?</h2>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/1ecMTy653FVkfzgyihG79y/d62ed507bc869372dafd0499f6ff938f/James_Hardie_Scyon_Sercura_Interior_Flooring_FC_Tongue_And_Groove_Panel.webp" alt="James_Hardie_Scyon_Sercura_Interior_Flooring_FC_Tongue_And_Groove_Panel" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Versatile, light and durable and dual function. While one side is designed for tiled applications and includes a sealant gap, the other side is perfect for vinyl or carpet applications where the tongue and groove joint is gapless.</li>
<li>Will not warp, twist or rot – giving you the ultimate foundation for both tiled and vinyl flooring – and unlike timber flooring, does away with the need for a vinyl underlay.</li>
<li>Sheets have a moisture resistant sealer on all sides removing the need for waterproofing outside enclosed shower areas and it can left untiled for up to three months without warping, twisting or the requirement to sand back the surface.</li>
<li>Tongue and groove joins are easy to click together and the boards can be secured to timber with a nail gun, so there’s no need for pre-drilling and screwing.</li>
<li>Remains strong even when it’s wet– even if waterproofing fails, Secura™ Interior Flooring will not.</li>
<li>Truly water resistant, fast to install and stable and firm – Secura™ Interior Flooring is for those who want reliability and fast installation from a high performing structural flooring that won’t let you down thanks to its superior properties and inherent water resistance.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="whyvillaboardlining">WHY VILLABOARD™ LINING?</h2>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/5RNiXZhEMfX8S4YiBinXCa/d42d9a1e5b5cbfd3070825dbe5204484/JamesHardie_Villaboard_ThreeBirds_Cutaway.webp" alt="JamesHardie_Villaboard_ThreeBirds_Cutaway" /></p>
<ul>
<li>A high performing fibre cement lining that won’t let you down thanks to its superior properties and inherent water resistance. Again, if waterproofing fails Villaboard™ won’t.</li>
<li>Unlike plasterboard, composition is resistant to water damage and it does not rely on coating solutions.</li>
<li>Resistant to damage from moisture, it won’t lose its structural integrity – meaning fewer call backs and costly rectifications.</li>
<li>Incredible hanging power for tiles – with a tensile bond strength up to 75% greater than wet area plasterboard (ensuring expensive bathroom tiles are always secure).</li>
<li>Guaranteed to perform even in unforeseen failures, unlike plasterboard. Tiles will not fall, and lining will not rot.</li>
<li>For those who want reliability, Villaboard™ is a high performing lining that won’t let you down thanks its superior properties and inherent water resistance – saving you time, reducing the costs of waterproofing failures and making your job easier.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just two of the fibre cement products from James Hardie that are perfect for future proofing wet areas. If you answered “yes” to any of the questions posed above, then it’s time consider SecuraTM Interior Flooring and VillaboardTM Lining for your next bathroom project.</p>
