What is the difference between plasterboarding and dry lining?

Plasterboarding involves fixing plasterboard to walls or ceilings, often followed by skimming. Dry lining is a similar process where the boards are taped and jointed rather than skimmed. Both create a smooth, even surface.

What Is Plasterboarding & Dry Lining?

Plasterboarding is the process of fixing plasterboard sheets to wall or ceiling surfaces using adhesive or screws. Dry lining is a similar technique where the boards are taped and jointed to create a smooth finish without the need for a wet plaster skim. Both methods create a flat, even surface that's ready for painting or further finishing in your Bo'ness property.
