I am afraid I must beg to differ.

At the time we bought $2700 dearer than a daikin which really didn't compare to what was offered with the Actron.
delatite13 posted:Air conditioning! - New house, what did you choose?
Actron Esp+ 23kw. Nothing else came close to flexibility.

The waterproofers may be using a similar material to this. I would guess this would go on under gyprock.. The gyprock may still get a coat of "normal" waterproofing.
