when you consider where all your furniture will be placed in the room you may find that some traditional conduit (painted to suit your colour scheme?) may be quite OK run along the base of the wall, or at skirting board height, or up a corner of the walls, or behind a bed, desk or bookshelf, a window covering or inside a wardrobe, or around the walls at picture rail or dado height with vertical sections for power points and wall lamps and, instead of attempting to hide the cables, they can be highlighted (safely enclosed) as part of the industrial them

oklouise In hospitals and nursing homes they use marmoleum, which is non slip, waterproof and now comes in many stylish designs, it can be designed to go slightly, or entirely, up the walls as well as cover your floor, all in one piece, so there is no waterline to leak water under floors. I have used a faux terrazzo marmoleum in my kitchen, foyer and laundry. Great non slip and accoustic properties. Highly insulative. It is also very ecofriendly compared to either vinyl or tiles! I hope this helps you! https://www.forbo.com/flooring/en-au/products/marmoleum/c9rwmi

hi there, When there is a task to choose a facade decoration for a private house, the first to mind comes stucco from polyurethane. "stucco molding on the facade house" Do not hesitate to sign up for my channel in youtube, there you will learn everything about the design, put the likes, to make a repost)) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHuY28ATRji4MMfQNC-aPdw Thank you for your attention and the answer, I will be ready to discuss the work in more detail at the time convenient for you, in such a design, as you will be comfortable!

Hi How2Girl, I appreciate your follow up! The Reece document is good - thanks - I wish there was something concrete in the Standards though. Worth notiing is that a shower over the bath needs the same wall-sheeting details as if it was a shower base. Also wall framing in the bathroom needs to be done to AS 1684.2-2010 Residential timber-framed construction - Non-cyclonic areas (Which the James Hardie 'wet area design book' is based on) Very frustrating that the Australian Standards are not readily available - ie FREE- or at least, latest copies at local libraries. How are we meant to build to standards when they are inaccessible. Another factor in determining the overall quality of the Australian construction industry Also what I've found frustrating in this instance is that other trades in my small town are unwilling to agree that the work is of very poor quality - there is an unstated 'brotherhood' at work. So Im going to have to engage an independent Building Certifier, probably from out of town. Of course,the cost for this will come off the builder's fees on a pro-rata basis for below-par work
