Tips

Key Installation Guidelines:

  • Seal all joins, corners, and penetrations with appropriate sealants.
    • This is critical to ensure watertightness and to protect the internal panel core from moisture ingress.
  • Once all gaps are sealed, the surface can be primed, waterproofed and tiled using standard wet area systems and procedures.
  • A waterproof membrane must be applied in areas subject to direct water exposure (e.g. shower recesses), in accordance with Australian Standards.

Important Notes:

  • Only Cement Sheet finish Durra Panels are approved for wet area use.
  • Do not expose unsealed panel edges or core material to moisture.
  • Ensure all fixings, penetrations, and edges are sealed before applying waterproofing systems.

When correctly installed, Durra Panel with Cement Sheet finish provides a durable substrate suitable for tiling or finishing in wet area environments.
