GIB Aqualine®

Without GIB Aqualine^® wet area linings can become a sponge.

That’s why more specifiers and builders use GIB Aqualine^® to protect walls and ceilings in bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and kitchens than any other lining*.

They know that its special water resistant core containing special polymers to help prevent moisture penetration is the best insurance against future liability and expensive call-backs. What’s more, the performance of GIB Aqualine^® is independently verified by BRANZ Appraisal.

The most preferred tiling substrate

Over 70% of the New Zealand building industry uses GIB Aqualine® as a tiling substrate in bathrooms*. Its fibreglass core gives added strength that easily supports the weight of tiles to provide a solid, stable backing. Plus its outstanding dimensional stability means it will not move with changes in moisture.

WATER ABSORPTION TEST: These photographs show what happens when GIB Aqualine^® (green surface paper) and GIB® Standard plasterboard (white surface paper) are soaked in coloured water for two hours. The core of the standard plasterboard has absorbed the water, while the core of GIB Aqualine^® is relatively unaffected.


After two hours immersion the GIB^® has not wicked up the coloured water.	Both boards are split showing the coloured water has not wicked up the core of GIB^®
