Wall linings suitable for high humidity areas are those marketed as shower, bathroom and "wet area" linings. Products include:
* Fibre cement sheet, also known as glass reinforced cement sheet. It comes prefinished with a polyurethane coating which is easy to clean, or unfinished and suitable for painting, tiling, wall vinyl etc. * Oil impregnated compressed HDF (high density fibreboard) which is also available prefinished or unfinished. * Oil impregnated gypsum board (plasterboard, drywall) Note only the oil impregnated versions of the latter two are suitable for high humidity.
The plasterboard and unfinished fibre cement can be stopped or filled to hide joints and fixings. Prefinished boards have jointing systems involving sealant or jointing strips.
For areas where significant water splash will occur, like showers and bath surrounds, a waterproof membrane will be necessary under tiles on unfinished boards.
