Dry lining • The Dot and Dab Method • The application of plasterboard has dramatically changed over the last 10 years in the construction industry. • Traditional methods of two-coat work on walls are gradually being overtaken by the system of dabbing plasterboards to walls
Dry lining • The problem with the traditional methods of two-coat work has been the setting time for the wet materials that has led to a delay in the completion of the buildings. • So to speed up, construction, manufacturers designed various dry lining systems that can be installed quickly and covered with plasterboard.
Dry lining • Gyproc dry liner basic system • Most widely used method to dry line masonry walls. • Main application is new-build housing sector. • Suitable for most Gyproc plasterboards and thermal laminates.
Dry lining • Advantages of dabbing plasterboards to walls • Suitable to be applied to most backgrounds. • Quick to install. • Fire protection. • Speeds up drying time. • Reduces amount of mixing required. • Suitable for both new and refurbishment work.
Dry lining • To meet the requirements of the industry, plastering manufactures have produced a number of specialist systems: • Thermal qualities. • Moisture resistant. • Fire. • Insulation. • Sound. .
Dry lining • The most important activity when dabbing boards is setting out the vertical centre lines for application of the bonding compound
Dry lining Tools and equipment required • Measuring tape. • Level. • Straight-edge. • Gauge rod. • Plumb line. • Foot lift
Question • Dabs of bonding adhesive for fixing plasterboard should be no thicker than: • a 10 mm • b 15 mm • c 20 mm • d 25 mm • Answer • d 25 mm
Find the high spot of wall. Transfer high spot to ceiling.
Dry lining • Fixing the boards in place • Plasterboards are then tamped back to setting out lines at floor and ceiling with a straightedge ensuring a good strong bond between board and background.
Add 10 mm on high spot for thickness of dab. Snap chalk lines. Transfer lines down to floor. Set out boards from internal angle Set out end of boards and centre of boards
Dry lining • Previously fixed plasterboard • fit next board close tight and level • Apply continuous dabs of bonding compound to the perimeters
Dry lining • Use a foot lift to place the board in position. Using a straight edge tamp the board back to the setting out lines at the floor and ceiling. • The total area of contact between bonding adhesive and the plasterboard should not be less than 20% of the plasterboard area.
Dry lining • Total area of contact between bonding compound/adhesive and plasterboards should not be less than 20% of plasterboard area.
Dry lining • Checking for alignment and full bonding • Tap the boards firmly using a straight-edge until it lines in with the ceiling and floor lines.
Question • Name the tools and equipment for dry lining • Answer • Tools and equipment required • Measuring tape. • Level. • Straight-edge. • Gauge rod. • Plumb line. • Foot lift
Question • What should be the Total area of contact between bonding compound/adhesive and plasterboards • Answer • should not be less than 20% of plasterboard area.
Task 1 • 1Name three tools used for fixing plasterboard for direct bond. • 2 List two thicknesses and widths of plasterboard used in direct bond. • 3 What type of plasterboard is best for direct bond?
Answers • 1 Name three tools used for fixing plasterboard for direct bond. • Any three of the following hawk, trowel, straight edge, spirit level, foot lifter, chalk line • 2 List two thicknesses and widths of plasterboard used in direct bond. • thickness: 9.5 mm and 12.5 mm, width: 900 mm and 1200 mm • 3 What type of plasterboard is best for direct bond? • The best type of plasterboard for direct bond is tapered-edged plasterboard.
Dry lining • Apply dabs for the next board and continue along the wall. • At internal angles cut the board to size and place the cut edge to the angle. • At external angles apply adhesive dabs close to the angle on each side. • At windows apply a continuous line of dabs.
Dry lining • Points to remember when fixing boards to walls. • Always ensure you have applied sufficient dabs in a regular pattern. • When working round services ensure a continuous fillet of adhesive is applied around the whole area.
Dry lining • Ensure the background clean dry and dust free. • Always ensure a band of adhesives applied at skirting level to provide good fixing for skirting boards. • Remember the boards used may be tapered edge boards which means they will not be plastered – keep the finished surface free from adhesive.
Dry lining • Knauf Joint Tape • Perforated white tape for reinforcing joints by hand or machine application
Dry lining • Knauf corner tape • • Paper tape strengthened with two metallic strips, used on external angles. • • Easy to apply corner protection.
Dry lining • Knauf Fibre Tape • Multi-purpose self-adhesive tape for reinforcing joints and patch repairs to plasterboard.
Dry lining • Name two different types of jointing material. • setting material, air-dry material
Dry lining • Knauf Joint Cement Easy Sand • A lightweight air-drying compound for bedding tapes and finishing joints by hand or machine application
Dry lining • Knauf Ready Mix Lite Easy Sand • A pre-mixed light joint cement for bedding tapes and finishing joints with superior sanding characteristics for hand or machine application
Task 2 • 4 Name two different types of jointing material. • 5 To produce the best results with jointing material what should you avoid within the material? • 6 Name two types of reinforcement used on plasterboard joints in direct bond. • 7 Name two types of reinforcement used on external angles in direct bond. • 8 The background for direct bond should be of what quality and why? • 9 Dabs of bonding adhesive for fixing plasterboard should be no thicker than: • a 10 mm • b 15 mm • c 20 mm • d 25 mm
Answers • 4 Name two different types of jointing material. • setting material, air-dry material • 5 To produce the best results with jointing material what should you avoid within the material? • Jointing material should be mixed to a smooth paste with no lumps or set hard pieces of jointing material. • 6 Name two types of reinforcement used on plasterboard joints in direct bond. • two types of joint tape: paper tape and self-adhesive glass fibre mesh
Answers • 7 Name two types of reinforcement used on external angles in direct bond. • reinforced paper corner tape, drywall metal beads • 8 The background for direct bond should be of what quality and why? • The background for direct bond should be of good quality and level, because if the adhesive used to fix the boards is too thick it will not hold the boards securely back to the background.
Answers • 9 Dabs of bonding adhesive for fixing plasterboard should be no thicker than: • a 10 mm • b 15 mm • c 20 mm • d 25 mm
