Recommendations for your project

BUILDING: To ensure walls and ceilings appear smooth and blemish free, avoid harsh lighting conditions and choose lighter colours. GIB Ultraline^®  PLUS is the ideal lining for show areas as it has a special coated white surface paper to improve finish quality. Learn more about colour and light.

RENOVATING: First remove the old linings. This is a great opportunity to add comfort by installing insulation and convenience by adding or relocating power points. Check the condition of existing plumbing and framing. Use GIB Ultraline^® PLUS especially in unbroken areas such as ceilings and long walls. This is an ideal time to add insulation, new carpet and heating for warmth.
