Dry lining is a quick and efficient method of fixing plasterboard to walls using adhesive, creating a smooth, durable surface that’s ready for plastering, painting, or decorating. It’s one of the most popular techniques for both residential and commercial properties.
What is Dry Lining (Dot and Dab)?
Dry lining, often referred to as “dot and dab,” involves applying adhesive directly onto blockwork or brickwork in a dotted pattern, then fixing plasterboard sheets securely in place. This method is faster and more cost-effective than traditional wet plastering and provides excellent insulation and soundproofing benefits.
