- In this video we compare the different interior lining options in New Zealand We will talk about the pros and cons of plywood, save board, fibre cement board and timber panelling. Make sure to stick around to the end of the video where I share how I'd integrate these linings into my home. If you like this kind of content and want more please consider subscribing
Hey everyone, we just spotted a little typo in the video: ‘moister resistance’ 🤦♂… Whoops! Clearly, it’s so resistant, it resists spelling too! 😅 Just to clarify, we meant ‘moisture resistance.’ Thanks for rolling with it-appreciate your understanding! 💧✌
Our ply was 35$ a sheet and we painted it, the blonded birch was pre finished and cost 67$ a sheet. I think it would be cheaper than Gib and you can screw to it for shelves and pictures. Cutting and fitting the ply does definitely take more time and skill as we only have a 3m detail between the sheets, our place is very Nordic inside.
Often wondered how the overall cost of Plywood and Timber paneling vs Gib, I understand the product is more expensive but plywood and timber paneling don't always require extra work to get them too a finished state, eg Gib requires plaster and painting which adds to the overall cost.
You missed Triboard as an option!
As a boatbuilder I think plaster board is fit for purpose but it's rubbish. We have just build our own place and lined it in plywood. 40%was prefinished blonded birch and the rest painted including VGroove ply. All with a 3mm detail. I bet overall it cost less than Gib, stopped and painted. And I just can't imagine how bad those screws would flog out in the Gib if you had an earthquake.
@@patrickflanagan317 you just did imagine it, it’s as bad as you think, tho the glue does help…. Stopping is probably over $30 sqm floor area now so it does add up.
I presume save board is pumped full of fireproofing chemicals during manufacture, feels like a house lined with plastic would really sustain a fire.
The fumes would be grade A nasty too I beat
yo @nzbuilder , new subscriber to your channel from this video. what are your thoughts/impressions of earthen products eg. compressed earth blocks/bricks, rammed earth, Adobe bricks?
The Save Boards look interesting. There's also Magnesium Board, Hemp, Sirewall and SIPS panels. I like exploring options other than GIB. I'm not really a fan of GIB. Braceline is not so bad, but GIB is not a very hardy product.
Great video josh and agree 💯. Plaster board has its place. It's not just the cost but the quality and consistentsy you get with a painted finish. Plywood has its place as a feature or garage lining, yes it can be used as an interior but the install labor cost to get consistentsy of the shadow gaps and the lines to match up perfectly often isn't worth the cost if on tight budget. The same timber paneling. I personally have used or speced saveboard simply because it's not easily available down here in the south. Fibre cement like you said it normally use in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries or for fire walls. Would be interested to see a video on the different types of flooring products and advantages and disadvantages of both.
Loving your videos Josh. Just a tip, the spelling of MOISTURE.
As a scandinavian I am suprised that so few other places in the world dont use MDF. So easy yo install and you can get the with different profiles
Wow, you guys use dry walls a lottt, in South East Asia , we could not do it
You don't get PVC boards?
No rendered or brick walls?

What about Tri-Board, Seratone or Hardiglaze sheeting?
The big issue is time of application, construction and installation IMO relative to the product used.
A 4.8 or 6m sheet of Ultraline can save a lot of time in installation and plastering
A sheet of Seratone vs tile or paint time savings again...
Try magboard, cheaper than aqualine, and you can’t punch a whole in it,
Thinking of using magnum board on our build any problems you've come across using it?
@@samj4348 not problems, I’ve done my small crib I’m living in out of it. And a bathroom Reno that was full tiles. it installs pretty easy, screws go in pretty good. It’s heavy than 10mm std gib. Face is smooth, but there’s is a lot of pinholes in some sheets, bit cold to the touch is probably the one negative. . use the galv screws health based building supplies, they work.not gib screws. If you use the 18mm flooring sheets, you need to block the edges as it’s not t&g . It’s solid tho, you won’t punch holes in it. I’ve used the mag board horizontal T&G cladding on some of it as well. Goes up pretty quick. I’ve just but joined all the sheets so no stopping. I’ll probably use it again on the other jobs.
interesting video!
FYI - moisture not moister. (The pronunciation is subtly different.)
Haha, guess we got a bit too excited about "getting it up" and slipped on the details! Happens to the best of us when things get a little... damp. 😅 Appreciate the correction!
hi josh, I am a great fan of your works and aesthetic realization of your constructions, I would like to know how could be part of your team, I have years of experience in construction of houses, where I can contact you?
'Moister' resistant...I don't know what that is...
Haha, yeah, "moister" is when it's extra resistant to the soggy stuff! 😉 But seriously, thanks for the catch-we meant to say "moisture"!
