Dry lining can be used on internal walls and ceilings, including brick walls and uneven surfaces, as well as on internal stud walls. Dry lining can be referred to as either tacking or sticking. Tacking involves screwing plasterboard to either a timber frame or metal stud partition. Sticking plasterboard is referred to as ‘Dot and dab.’ Drywall adhesive is used to attach plasterboard to walls. Depending on the type of wall or surface the plasterboard is being fixed to, two standard thicknesses of plasterboard, 9.5mm and 12.5mm, can be used.
