Transform Your Space with STRUCTApanel®

With housing prices increasing across Australia, more homeowners are looking for affordable and creative ways to make better use of their existing space. One of the most popular trends is the garage conversion: transforming an underused area into a liveable, comfortable and functional room. Whether it becomes a home office, guest bedroom, studio, gym or self-contained flat, a garage conversion offers a practical way to add space and value without the need for a large-scale renovation.

When planning a project like this, the choice of materials can make all the difference. STRUCTApanel® VJ150 Tongue and Groove Wall Lining Boards are a simple yet effective solution that combines strength, style and efficiency. They offer a cost-effective way to achieve a high-quality finish while ensuring durability and compliance, helping homeowners and renovators get more from every square metre.

Why Garage Conversions Work?

Garage conversions are a smart way to expand a home without building an extension. They make use of existing structures, helping to save time, reduce costs and minimise disruption. From a quiet study or creative studio to an extra bedroom or flexible living area, the possibilities are endless. A well-executed conversion adds both function and resale value, making it one of the most rewarding renovation investments.

Why Choose STRUCTApanel® VJ150?

STRUCTApanel® VJ150 combines a classic vertical joint aesthetic with the structural performance builders expect from the STRUCTA range. Unlike decorative-only panels, VJ150 is bracing certified, which means additional bracing sheets are not required behind the lining. This simplifies installation and improves efficiency while maintaining compliance.

Key benefits include:

• Cost-effective performance: Achieve a stylish, high-end look at an affordable price, freeing up your budget for other areas of the renovation.
• Timeless design: The tongue and groove profile creates a smooth, seamless finish suitable for contemporary, rustic or classic interiors. Panels can be painted in any colour to match your décor.
• Fast installation: The PVC tongue and groove system allows panels to be installed up to 50% faster than plasterboard, with no sanding or topcoats required. Simply fit and paint.
• Durability and strength: STRUCTApanel® VJ150 is up to three times tougher than plasterboard, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and ensuring a long-lasting finish.
• Versatility: Beyond garage conversions, it’s ideal for feature walls, ceilings, and even commercial interiors where durability and clean design are priorities.
