COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY EXPERTS
PROFESSIONAL DRY LINING IN OXFORDSHIRE
When planning building improvements - whether residential or commercial - one important consideration is how to finish your interior walls. Dry lining has become an increasingly popular choice across the UK due to its speed, efficiency, and clean finish.
At SurfaceSprayOxfordshire, we specialise in delivering high-quality dry lining solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you're renovating a single room or managing a large-scale project, dry lining offers a cost-effective and time-saving method that ensures smooth, modern results with minimal disruption.
WHY DRY LINING?
Dry lining is a modern construction method where plasterboard is fixed directly to interior walls and ceilings to create a smooth, paint-ready surface. It's a quicker, cleaner alternative to traditional plastering, commonly used in both new builds and renovation projects.
This approach is popular for its speed and efficiency, eliminating the drying time needed with wet plaster. It also enhances insulation and soundproofing when used with appropriate materials, making it a practical choice for homes and commercial spaces looking to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
ADVANTAGES OF DRY LINING
Dry lining, also known as plasterboard or drywall, is a quicker, cleaner alternative to traditional plastering. It involves attaching pre-made boards directly to walls or ceilings, offering a smooth finish without the mess or drying time of wet plaster. Widely used in both homes and commercial spaces, dry lining is popular for its simplicity and efficiency.
Advantages:
Easier installation for standard rooms - Simply measure, cut, and attach the boards.
Less skill required – No complex mixing or application techniques needed.
Reduced risk of cracking – No drying phase means fewer issues with cracks.
Faster completion – Walls can be decorated almost immediately.
Practical for hiding cables – Easily conceals wires and pipes behind walls.
Improved insulation – Space between board and wall allows for added thermal and sound insulation.
