Drylining Lincoln FAQ
What is metal frame dry lining?
Short answer: Metal frame dry lining uses lightweight steel studs and tracks to create a supporting structure for plasterboard. The frame can be built in front of an existing wall or used to form a completely new internal partition. Plasterboard is screwed to the metal studs, and insulation can be fitted inside the cavity to improve thermal or acoustic performance. Metal framing is commonly used in offices, shops, new-build homes and larger renovation projects because it is straight, durable and resistant to warping. It can also accommodate electrical cables, pipes and other services. Different plasterboards can be selected for fire resistance, moisture protection, sound reduction or impact strength. The frame depth and board type should be chosen to suit the room and the required performance.
