What is Dry Lining?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dry Lining is the process of fitting dry lining boards to new walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a quick, easy and cost-effective way to create perfectly straight lines between your ceiling and floor, making it one of the best solutions for renovation projects or newly built homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as \u2018skimming\u2019 or \u2018taping & skimming\u2019, the process involves fitting pre-made plasterboard sheets in between joists before filling them in with a thin layer of filler \u2013 leaving you with flat, smooth surfaces ready for decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as being an affordable option, it also makes rooms look bigger by creating a more uniform surface within your property that can be painted in any colour or pattern you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry lining can be done by DIY enthusiasts, but we recommend hiring a professional plasterer or dry liner contractor to ensure the quality of work is up to scratch and that your job complies with all health and safety regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
