Innova Intergroove Interior Wall Lining

If you want the warmth of a timber-lined wall without the maintenance, movement or fire risk that comes with real timber, Innova Intergroove is the answer. Made by Etex, Innova is a fibre cement interior wall panel with a genuine V-groove profile pressed into every sheet — giving you the classic lined-wall look in one panel, installed in a fraction of the time of individual boards.

It's built for interior walls that need to look good and perform: living areas, hallways, feature walls, and anywhere you want a wall lining that won't warp, crack, or need repainting every few years.

What Is Innova Intergroove?

Innova Intergroove is part of the Innova range of interior linings from Etex — a fibre cement panel manufactured with a pressed V-groove pattern that replicates the look of traditional tongue-and-groove timber boards, but in a single sheet.

Because it's fibre cement rather than timber or plywood, Intergroove brings a different set of strengths to an interior wall panel:

• Dimensionally stable — won't expand, contract, warp or cup the way timber lining can with humidity changes
• Fire-resistant — a genuine advantage over timber-look wall linings in areas where fire performance matters
• Consistent, factory-finished V-groove — every sheet matches, with no board-to-board variation
• Paintable finish — ready to be finished in whatever colour suits the space

Where It Works Best

Interior wall lining and feature walls — Intergroove is designed as an interior wall panel first, giving you the lined-board look on a hallway wall, living room feature wall, or an entire room, without the labour of installing individual boards.

V-groove detail without the install time — because the groove is pressed into the sheet, you get the visual rhythm of a boarded wall while installing full panels — faster coverage, fewer joins, a cleaner finish.

Spaces where timber isn't practical — bathrooms, laundries, and other areas where moisture or fire performance rule out a timber or ply-based lining are exactly where a fibre cement panel like Intergroove earns its place.
