Installation
For dry lining walls with studs, design, build up and placement is mostly the same as for partition walls. The insulation is placed between the studs, with flexible edges making installation easy.
Dry lining boards, with a finish layer attached, are normally applied to the inside of an external wall, with the finishing board facing the room. Cement mix or other locally available tools can be used to glue the board onto the outer wall.
You can also make cut-outs on the back of the product using specific cutting tools to cover electric piping.
Key tips4:
- Use appropriate glue – Depending on the glue type, it should be applied in a dotted or continuous layer on the back side of the insulation material, before pushing the board in place against the outer wall.
- Adjust as you install – Small adjustments for perfect levelling can be done while placing the board, to avoid thermal gaps.
- Measure the walls – Accurately size up your walls and use extra material, as cutting may be required to ensure perfect friction fitting.
