What Is Dry Lining?
Dry lining is a modern alternative to traditional plastering, involving the application of plasterboard to walls and ceilings without using wet plaster.
It provides a smooth, even surface ready for painting or wallpapering. This method is quicker to install, reduces drying times, and enhances insulation.
Dry lining can also be used to conceal pipes and electrical wiring, creating a cleaner and more polished look.
Suitable for both commercial and residential properties, dry lining improves efficiency in construction and renovation projects while offering a professional, high-quality finish.

Insulated Dry Lining
Insulated dry lining improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and external noise. By adding an insulating layer behind the plasterboard, this method enhances warmth and comfort in any space.
It is a cost-effective way to improve the thermal performance of your property. With rising energy costs, insulated dry lining is an investment that pays off over time.
Benefits of Dry Lining
Dry lining offers numerous benefits, including faster installation times, improved insulation, and a smooth, ready-to-decorate finish. It reduces moisture absorption, helps conceal electrical wiring and pipework, and enhances soundproofing. This modern method is cost-effective, energy-efficient, and suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Faster Installation
Dry lining allows for significantly quicker installation compared to traditional plastering.
The reduced drying time means projects can progress faster, minimising delays and keeping construction schedules on track. This method reduces labour costs and allows for simultaneous work in other areas of a project.

By adding an insulating layer behind the plasterboard, dry lining improves heat retention in winter and keeps interiors cooler in summer.
