FLOODCLAD
Water Resistant Building Boards
The Optimum Building Solution

For those who have experienced the horrendous effects of flooding, the description ‘Flood Resistant Plasterboard’ is nonsense! ‘Waterproof’ Plasterboard does not exist!
So-called ‘moisture resistant plasterboard’ products are sold in Australia – but as many people now realise, even these will not withstand part or prolonged flooding – and definitely not total flood submergence.
These immediately become a sodden mess and fall off the walls, are hard to clean up, and ruin the expensive glass wool/rock wool cavity insulation batts – which also then need replacing.
