Our Dry Lining Process
Dry lining is the process where sheets of plasterboard, essentially premade and dried plaster, is fitted to an unfinished surface. This can be things like brick, masonry, or whatever else that requires covering. The plasterboard can also be placed directly to metal or wood stud partitioning. The plasterboard is fixed to the wall surfaces by nails, screws, or a drywall mastic designed for this task. There is also the option to add a layer of insulation to the back of the dry lining to further improve the thermal properties of your property. If you attach the dry lining to a stud partition then the insulation can be added and it fills cavity spaces to make the whole thing more solid and secure.
