Hardie™ Versilux™ Lining

Product Details

As a versatile interior wall sheet, Versilux™ Lining can be used in laundries, kitchens and high-traffic areas. It is also popular when used as a soffit and can be installed in exposed beam ceilings. Unlike Villaboard, Versilux is square on the long edges for making butt joins and accessory joins doing away with set joints that require extra finishing time and cost. As a versatile wall sheet it’s easy to achieve a range of looks using straight PVC jointers, the black PVC express jointer accessory or Axent Trim as battens over the joints.6mm sheets can also be used as bracing when installed in accordance with James Hardie’s Structural Bracing Application guide.

Best for

• Internal walls in kitchens, laundries, and high-traffic areas
• Soffits and eaves where a crisp sheet-panel look is desired

• Projects seeking a smooth paint-ready fibre cement lining

• Select thinner sheets where lower weight and easier handling are priorities.
• Select thicker sheets where additional stiffness is preferred.

Choose edge profile for the finish

• Square-edge sheets suit clean butt joints and accessory/jointer detailing.
• Confirm the edge profile for each thickness before ordering to match your joint detail.
