Where this system fits
Tell the installer how much direct water, humidity and impact the wall sees. Compare systems for the whole wall, including board, frame, joints, coating and any waterproofing specified for the room.
Fibre Cement and Moisture-Resistant Partitions
Discuss board systems for humid, frequently cleaned or more demanding interior spaces.
What to check on site
Review the board manufacturer’s installation details for the intended area. Check penetrations, fixings, corners and where the wall meets the floor or a splash zone.
What to send for pricing
Send photos of the room and adjacent wet areas, the expected cleaning method and the proposed finish.
Match the board system to how the space gets wet
- Distinguish a humid utility space from a location that receives repeated splashes or direct water. Review the proposed board, joint, coating and perimeter details together and ask where separate waterproofing is specified.
- For a service room near a wash area, mark plumbing routes, tiles and fixings for heavy accessories. Confirm corrosion protection at the studs and fasteners and how floor-to-wall transitions and wall penetrations will be finished.

Common question
Is a moisture-resistant board enough for a wet area?
Confirm the complete assembly for that exposure. The joints, floor junction and waterproofing specification are important to the result.
