What’s the Difference Between Plastering and Dry Lining?
Plastering and dry lining are two popular methods for finishing internal walls and ceilings.
Both create smooth, clean surfaces, but they use different techniques and materials.
To start, plastering uses a wet mix applied by hand.
It sets into a hard, seamless surface, perfect for painting or decorating.
Because of this, plastering suits traditional homes and rooms that need a polished, solid finish.
In contrast, dry lining uses plasterboard fixed directly to walls or stud frames.
Installers secure the boards quickly and with minimal mess.
Since no drying time is needed, dry lining speeds up your project significantly.
Which Method Should You Choose?
Ultimately, your choice depends on your needs and timeline.
If speed matters most, go with dry lining.
However, if you want a high-end, durable surface, choose plastering.
In many cases, both methods work well together.
For example, use dry lining in most rooms, then plaster feature areas for a cleaner look.
This balanced approach gives you both efficiency and quality.
No matter which option you choose, professional results always make a difference.
When done right, surfaces stay smooth, last longer, and look better.
So, avoid patchy finishes and future repairs by hiring trained professionals.
