BUILDING TODAY WITH THE FUTURE IN MIND Future-proof building is the next consumer driven initiative that builders, designers and developers will need to embrace if they wish to deliver a sustainable product that their client wants. It means incorporating features that may seem cutting edge today but will become standard features in the future. So how does it all work? Eight sections or icons to do with the design and construction phase have been developed by Construction Marketing Services (CMS). Each one of these has considerations and best practise scenarios that in many cases will be beyond the minimum required under the Building Act or may not even be a consideration. But, they all will deliver benefi ts in some way to the home owner. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Energy costs are rising like never before as resources become scarce. Heating both your home and water uses the bulk of your energy. Effi cient ways of heating, insulating and even passive solar energy will become increasingly important to energy conscious clients. SPACE MANAGEMENT Changes to lifestyle and increasing construction costs mean space management is now an essential consideration in the design process. Good use of available space can mean that a similar lifestyle can be achieved from smaller areas and hence savings on construction costs. By using Villaboard Lining to line your wet areas, you ll save space. Villaboard Lining is 6mm thick while other alternative linings are 9mm thick. LIFE CYCLE COSTING More expensive materials with a longer life can often work out to be a more cost effective option than low costs, short life alternatives. James Hardie internal linings come with a 15 year product warranty, are resistant to the damage from moisture, rotting and fi re when installed correctly meaning you won t be up for costly repairs. SOUND CONTROL With sections becoming smaller and homes consequently being built closer, children staying at home for longer, more TV s and sound systems in the home noise pollution has become an issue. Double glazing systems, wall linings and sound insulation systems are all relatively simple to install at the time of construction producing good results. Using James Hardie internal linings, better acoustic performance can be achieved by selecting the appropriate thickness of lining to get the required STL (Sound Transmission Loss). 2 JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE

QUALITY ASSURANCE The building industry is expected to become more focused on quality assurance as homeowners look for guarantees and warranties to protect their investments. James Hardie products are manufactured to ISO standards which ensures the best quality for your peace of mind. RESOURCE RESPONSIBILITY We need to promote the use of environmentally friendly products, recycled materials and renewable resources in order to make effi cient use of our limited resources. In a continued effort to be environmentally friendly, James Hardie recycles the raw materials and water used in the manufacture of fi bre cement products. SECURITY AND AUTOMATION Home automation is a valid way to future-proof your home and will increase quality of life as well as improving home security. From the simple remote garage door to a fully integrated computer system for lighting, entertainment and security. HEALTH AND SAFETY Many common health problems can be kept at bay by incorporating future-proofed materials and systems into new homes. Effi cient systems for keeping the home warm, dry and well ventilated along with the use of non-toxic building materials will enhance the living conditions. James Hardie linings used for structural bracing provide you a safe house and it also helps keep your home dry. When compared to other lining alternatives, James Hardie products absorb less moisture meaning the product dries a lot quicker.

WHAT LIES BENEATH It pays to think very carefully about what s going on under the surface. You want to select products based on durability and stability. Products that will stand the test of time and continue to look good. That s why leading architects and builders specify and use James Hardie internal linings. YOUR WALLS WILL BE THE BACKDROP TO YOUR LIFE... THEY CAN BE A FEATURE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, OR A BLANK CANVAS. THEY CAN SAY TRADITIONAL OR CONTEMPORARY OR NOTHING MUCH AT ALL. When you think about how many years you will live within your walls it makes sense to choose colours and fi nishes carefully. But that s not the end of the story. If you want your walls to stay looking beautiful it s even more important to consider how they ll stand the test of time; children in a hurry, bikes peddled down the hallway, knocks from furniture that didn t quite make it through the doorway not to mention leaking pipes and overfl owing washing machines. 4 JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE... Before you sink into that deep bubble bath, it pays to consider what s going on behind the walls not just in the bathroom, but also in laundries, toilets and kitchens. Wherever there s water there s potential for moisture or water damage rotting walls and shower linings, walls that swell and shift, tiles that fail, even structural damage. That s expensive with a double $. Once the most functional of rooms, today the bathroom has become one of the most luxurious and the most expensive. Without adequate water protection your investment is at risk. Don t make the mistake of thinking out of sight, out of mind. If you re spending a small fortune on tiling and bathroom fi ttings, it doesn t make sense to compromise on what goes behind them. James Hardie offer a range of wet area linings you can rely on especially when concerned about a leaking shower, overfl owing bath, or washing machine. Made from fi bre cement, they are resistant to miosture and rotting and offer superior durability to the plasterboard alternative. LIFE S HARD KNOCKS Certain areas of your home will always be prone to heavy traffi c and hard knocks. Hallways, stairs, rumpus rooms and garages have to stand up to a lot, so it makes sense to line them with impact resistant materials and avoid the cost of repairs further down the track. HardiGroove Lining and Villaboard Lining are ideal wall linings for these areas, and work well in combination, with HardiGroove Lining used to dado height and Villaboard Lining above. GREAT LOOKS Of course, durability isn t the only consideration. Wall surfaces need to refl ect your own unique style, particularly with feature walls, entrance ways and hallways, where fi rst impressions count. James Hardie have created a range of wall linings that can be used to create any look, from the traditional tongue and groove panel look of HardiGroove Lining, to the crisp, contemporary looks that can be created with Villaboard Lining. HardiGroove Lining can also be used very successfully on ceilings particularly to create feature ceilings in entrance ways and stairwells. JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE 5

CREATING A BEAUTIFUL BATHROOM THINGS TO CONSIDER Double showers with dual showerheads to cope with the early-morning rush. Good ventilation so that mirrors don t fog up and mould is discouraged. Twin basins and plenty of mirror space. Good task lighting for make up and shaving and low-key ambient lighting for creating a relaxing mood in the evening. Good natural light consider a skylight, or windows or doors out onto a private outdoor area. A deep inviting bath with provision for candles. Built-in speakers for relaxing music. Plenty of storage space. An ensuite can be designed to fi t into a 900mm wide space, extending 500mm into the bedroom. Water-heating capacity. If adding a second bathroom or ensuite, think about a continuous fl ow gas water heater mounted on the exterior of your home. 6 JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE

CHOOSING YOUR STYLE... MODERN COLONIAL This style is ideal for restored villas, or traditionally styled new homes. Today s high-spec, colonial style fi ttings let you create the charm without sacrifi cing comfort. LOOK FOR: Refi nished and restored claw foot baths. Heritage style taps and basins. Oversized brass shower heads. Tiled walls over Villaboard Lining with feature borders. Traditional tongue and groove look walls either to dado height or full ceiling. Easily achieved with HardiGroove Lining. MINIMALIST/MODERN This is a great approach for smaller bathrooms reducing all the elements to the bare minimum creates a zen-like ambiance. Keep colour to a minimum. White, neutral colours and pale greens are restful. Tiling the fl oor and walls in the same colour will throw more emphasis onto fi ttings and lighting effects. White HardiGlaze Lining with aluminium jointers creates a very clean, minimal look, without huge expense. SPA RESORT STYLE Today s top bathrooms rival those in top spas and resorts. There s no limit to what can be achieved. But remember to be just as careful about choosing what goes under your walls, fl oor and bath surrounds, as you are about choosing the fi ttings. Make the bath the hero. Deep, luxurious, with multiple jets and tiled step-up or step-down surrounds. Make sure you protect the bath surround from water damage with James Hardie s substrate products. Bring the outdoors in. Plan a private courtyard or garden outside your bathroom windows or doors. JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE 7

BATHROOM DO UP Future-proofed homes use quality materials. James Hardie fi bre cement products are resistant to damage from moisture, rotting, cracking and fi re. For your peace of mind make sure you demand products that have been BRANZ appraised and have been manufactured to ISO standards. A NEW LOOK Starting with a water damaged bathroom (below) it s hard to believe that this renovated version is the same room. A classic example of the damage that can be caused when wet and semi-wet areas aren t suffi ciently waterproofed at the building stage, the old bathroom was not only mouldy, the walls and fl oors had suffered structural damage. To fi x the problem and ensure it didn t re-occur in the renovated bathroom the builders chose to line the walls with James Hardie Villaboard Lining, and for the fl oors, installed Hardipanel Compressed Sheets beneath the brand new white mosaic tiles. 8 JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE

STAND OUT CEILINGS Ceilings can make a real statement about your home, such as a grand entranceway with a high ceiling to create a real sense of space. Make your statement with HardiGroove Lining in your ceilings. Combine your grand entranceway with HardiGroove Lining and you get a look that says "This home has distinction!". Create indoor/outdoor fl ow with HardiGroove Lining on your soffi ts, such as over your front door and outdoor living area. It s also important to consider the ceiling material you use in wet areas. In bathrooms, ceilings are one of the fi rst places to show signs of moisture damage. Villaboard Lining should be used here to avoid any potential problems in the future. JAMES HARDIE LOOK INSIDE 9
