Dry-lining

Dry lining is a term applied to the use of plasterboard on timber or metal frames, or in the case of a finish to block work walls, on plaster ‘dabs’ as a replacement to conventional building practices.
The term dry lining strictly applies to the use of plasterboard to replace a sand and cement or wet plaster finish to internal structures, although it’s use has become more broadly associated with internal fit out throughout the building.
