But, first things first, let’s dedicate a word or two on dry lining. It presents a technique of adding specially designed boards to your wall or ceiling surface in order of providing it with a final touch and a smooth finish. The plasterboards used can be applied to almost any type of construction, starting from more traditional ones such as masonry and timber frames to more modern one found in metal ones. It involves special techniques (such as dot and dab method) of adding or bonding specially designed dry wall to the designated surface, whereas the very process of installation always depends on the surface dry wall is fixed onto. It may sometimes involve some more common materials and equipment to specially designed adhesives and metal support constructions. Although it may seem that dry lining is quite simple to understand and that you can easily make your choice, you will notice that there is more than one option in dry wall materials and techniques. Namely, some materials also include a vapour control layer, making your dry wall moisture resistant, while in other cases, the plasterboards also include an insulation layer, which makes your dry lining also energy efficient.
