Wall Liner System
System Overview
The Wall Liner System is an economical method to dry lining an existing wall by fixing plasterboard to brick, block or concrete walls. The plasterboards are power-screwed to vertically mounted, lightweight metal furring channels. This will provide a smooth wall where additional decoration and fittings may be applied. Also, this allows services (pipes, wires etc…) to be placed between the wall and the lining.
System Components
Plasterboard (12.5mm).
Drywall Screws (25mm long).
Fixing Notes
For 12.5 mm plasterboards, the furring spaces should be 600 mm centers.
Recommended drywall screw size is 25mm.
In addition to 12.5mm plasterboard, the following may also be used: Duplex wallboard, moisture resistance board, thermal board and urethane laminate. The wall liner system is ideal for resizing and or realigning walls and permits infra-structure services behind the wallboard used. However, when services run horizontally then a cut in the vertical furring channel is unavoidable. In these cases, the discontinuity in any vertical furring channel should not exceed 300mm.
