Dry Lining

What Is Dry Lining?

To give yourself a better understanding of dry lining in, think about it as a mixture between plaster and wall board. It is a versatile substance that allows you to mould and shape it in any style you desire. One of the most significant benefits of dry lining is that it can be applied to any object that must be covered. This could include old plasterboard, metal, concrete and even existing wall tiles.

The application of dry lining to brickwork and masonry walls is an art form in itself. Regardless of the specific product used, the process is essentially the same. The application of the special primer, which transforms brickwork into a uniform surface and allows paint of the desired colour to bond properly. Once the primer is down, the finished coat of paint or plaster will look completely natural. As a professional dry lining company wewill always have the right tools, experience and expertise to ensure that any surface is finished to the highest standard and in the shortest time possible.

Benefits of Dry Lining

As a popular way to improve the aesthetics of a property and to increase the value of a house, wet plastering is becoming a more popular method of interior wall treatment. As a method of interior wall treatment, dry lining can be an extremely effective way of creating a smooth and level surface. Our services for dry lining present many benefits to your residential or commercial property.

Improved Thermal Insulation

Dry lining reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency by adding an extra layer of insulation material to a building. Dry lining is particularly useful in this aspect during those cold winter months. With dry lining, heat loss is reduced and energy efficiency is improved by adding a layer of insulation material, such as mineral wool or foam boards. In cold winters and hot summers, this is especially useful, since keeping indoor temperatures comfortable becomes increasingly important. The additional insulation also helps create a more consistent and even temperature throughout the building, thereby reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling and consequently lowering energy costs.

Dry lining provides a quieter and more comfortable environment by reducing noise transmission between rooms and from external sources. When plasterboard is installed in multiple layers with insulation between, noise transmission between rooms and outside is significantly reduced. For buildings located in noisy environments or rooms requiring privacy, such as offices, bedrooms, or recording studios, this is particularly advantageous. The sound-absorbing properties of dry lining promote relaxation, concentration, and overall well-being by creating a more peaceful indoor environment.

Dry lining works by incorporating a moisture-resistant lining to prevent dampness from building up in the walls, protecting the building’s structure and improving indoor air quality. Owing to our climate, moisture control is one of the most noted benefits of dry lining. Dampness can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and even health issues. Dry lining acts as a barrier, protecting the underlying structure from moisture and ensuring a dry and healthy indoor environment. This is particularly important in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens, where moisture control is essential for maintaining the longevity and integrity of the building.

The versatility of dry lining allows for a wide range of creative design options, from painting, wallpapering, to texturing, allowing for customisation to fit any aesthetic style. Dry Lining can be easily painted, wallpapered, or even textured, providing endless possibilities to match different design preferences. This versatility enables homeowners and interior designers to transform spaces with ease, adapting to changing trends or personal styles. Whether it’s a sleek modern look or a cozy rustic atmosphere, dry lining offers the flexibility to achieve desired aesthetics.

There is a great deal of time and in turn money to be saved by using our services. Renovations or interior space transformations made with dry lining can be done more quickly and cost-effectively than wet plastering, with shorter project timelines and lower labor costs. Unlike wet plaster, which requires considerable drying time, dry lining can be painted or decorated almost immediately after installation, resulting in a relatively quick and straightforward installation process. Consequently, project timelines are reduced and occupant disruption is minimised. Dry lining is also more cost-effective than wet plaster because of its simplified installation process, which reduces labour costs.
