Dry Lining

Overview

Dryliners use various methods to install different drylining systems that form the walls and rooms within a building. These walls are often used to hide wires and pipes whilst improving acoustics and creating space for insulation.

A dryliner will work with plasterboard, fix panels to timber, install frames or ceiling joists using special studs, cut panels to fit around doorways and windows, and much more. Some knowledge of plastering is also required, as dryliners often have to apply plaster to prepare surfaces (skimming).

This L2 Plastering Apprenticeship is available in Bristol and Plymouth.
