What type of plasterboard should I use with dry lining systems?

The type of plasterboard you'll need depends on the application. Standard plasterboard is suitable for most dry lining projects. However, for areas with moisture concerns, such as bathrooms or kitchens, you'll want to use moisture-resistant plasterboard. Fire-resistant plasterboard is another option for areas requiring enhanced fire protection.

Do I need any special tools to install dry lining systems?

While a basic toolbox will get you started, some specific tools can be helpful for dry lining projects. These include a metal snips for cutting metal components, a stud punch to create holes for wires and pipes, a drill for attaching tracks and brackets with screws, and a level to ensure everything is plumb and straight.

Can I use dry lining systems for ceilings?

Absolutely! Dry lining systems are a popular choice for suspended ceilings. They offer a lightweight and versatile solution for creating a smooth and finished ceiling surface.
