drylining

The-brickie · 29 Jul 2009

Its not about the thickness between the rafters, the under the rafters insulation is to stop cold bridging thru the timber (as mad as it sounds)

Dry lining is tapered edge plasterboard finished with joint tape and filler then sanded, as opposed to skimming, regardless of how its fixed. Well thats how I see it..

Your back then ; have a good time? I'm just counting down for the off on Monday.

Nothing better to do before then except finish off a 1/2 cut hedge & it's raining at the moment. Didn’t book anything in as I expected to be installing a new stove & finish off the last wall this week but I'm still waiting for the bloody thing to be delivered (lying bsatrds ); just hope they get it here before I leave.

yes mate, just a week but didn't see a cloud all week and nearly 40 degrees!

very rare these days that ANYONE can deliver ANYTHING when they say they can, great at selling the stuff though then they just let you down when it comes to delivering

fingers crossed for you mate!

Got an E today saying everything now in stock & will be on a pallet delivery Friday but they can’t say what time; & I bet they just dump the pallet on the drive & bugger off

Still, the price was very good

& the savings I made will help offset the crap Euro exchange rate we got this year!

Is there a cheaper obtion than using celotex preglued to plasterboard ,say using exortherm 100mm deep between the rafters with 50mm airspace then drylining and skimming over?Getting similar insulation without the higher cost?

You'll have to question your architect over this. He's written the specs up to building reg standards and will have done calculations for this. Any variations to this will have to go through him and/or BCO with reasons, but I suspect cost savings on materials will get short shrift.

Had a job once which involved new rafters (150mm deep from the specs) which had to be filled with 150mm kingspan. Thus we had to attach 50mm fillets on top of the new rafters to provide the airflow gap. All this was in the specs which we had to adhere to. The real irony was that the only company who could supply the timbers of the required length, within the time frame needed, had to cut 200mm timbers down to 150mm. They also supplied us with the 50mm fillets to do this which were the offcuts created.

Strange huh, but that's the world they live in that we have to work towards.

that's probably why I originally thought that drylining was plasterboard onto studwork, that's all they build with over there.. ( or all I see them build on shows like "This Old House" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition".. etc.. )
