Compared to plastering, drylining is a relatively new practice in the construction industry. With the development and the evolution of drylining, it has become a favourable method thanks to it's time saving abilities and mostly, effortless approach. Efficiency and effectiveness has made drylining an important part of the construction industry.

Drywall is a board made of plaster that has been pressed between two sheets of paper. It's primary use is to make interior walls and ceilings, that can also help to hide pipes, wires and create space for insulation.

It can take weeks or even months to fully plaster a house using traditional methods, which has essentially paved the way for drylining which will take only a few days to complete. As technology has developed drylining has become a more efficient process thanks to a host of tools that have been created specifically for the trade and enables professionals to get the job done at an increasingly fast pace.

As plastering tools and equipment has developed into the present day, plasterboard has evolved further, and has now become easier than ever to install and measure, whilst also becoming lighter, with a decrease in how brittle plasterboard can be. Jointing compounds have become more effective and the development of automatic tools have only added to the precision and efficiency of the drylining method.

In the present day, drywall and drylining itself has a wide range of functions and is now often favoured by those working in the industry, appreciating the opportunity that it has brought to the industry, and how it has developed to benefit the professional in the plastering trade.

Although the drylining job is still physically demanding, the job is rewarding and one that is interesting as the industry and equipment continues to develop. From lowering ceilings to creating new spaces, drylining offers a flexibility in creativity and design that allows professionals to develop their skills and have passion for their work.
