" Drylining is a relatively dry process compared with traditional plastering"

Fixing

• Plasterboard used on walls and ceilings is an internal finish which is a fundamental structural element offering an appropriate degree of fire and acoustic performance. Plasterboard must be fixed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations, usually by screw fixing directly to the studs of the timber frame

• The joints should then be taped, filled and smoothed

• Plasterboard for walls should be taper edged for a taped and jointed system, but for ceilings can be either taper edged or square edged dependent on the final decorative finish.

Storage

• Storage of plasterboard must adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions
  Care must be taken not to overload upper floors. It is not advisable to put any more than 12-14 sheets of 12.5mm plasterboard in any one stack

• No amount of paint or wallpaper will cover up bad dry lining - choose your contractor with care
