Question 1

What are drylining accessories?

Accepted Answer

Drylining accessories are parts and materials used in the installation and finishing of drylining systems, such as corner beads, jointing compounds and rendering mesh. These accessories play an important role in ensuring that plasterboard or drywall is seamlessly finished, and edges are protected. They also help improve the durability and appearance of the drylining system, contributing to a smooth and long-lasting surface.

Question 2

What is dry lining?

Accepted Answer

Dry lining, also known as plasterboarding or partitioning, is the process of cladding internal walls or ceilings with plasterboard to create a smooth surface. Boards can be attached directly to an existing wall, or to a wooden or metal frame to make a partition wall. Dry lining is widely used in the UK construction industry, since it’s usually quicker, easier and cheaper than alternatives like plastering or partitioning with brickwork.

Question 3

What’s the difference between dry lining and plastering?

Accepted Answer

Dry lining and plastering are separate processes, although they both use forms of plaster / gypsum. Both are used to create a smooth flat finish for internal walls. For dry lining walls or ceilings, flat, dry boards made of plaster (plasterboards) are attached to an internal wall or frame. For plastering, wet plaster is applied directly to a surface (which may or may not have been created by dry lining first) and smoothed out.
