Our Dry Lining & Partitioning Expertise

Metal Stud Partition Systems
Using precision-engineered C-stud and U-track steel framing, we construct walls that are straight, robust, and dimensionally accurate. Metal stud partitions form the backbone of modern offices, retail spaces, and industrial buildings, providing a reliable structure for specialist plasterboards.

Acoustic Partition Walls

Sound control is critical in environments such as offices, student accommodation, healthcare facilities, and legal practices. We install high-performance acoustic partitions using:

• Twin-frame and double-stud systems

• High-density mineral wool insulation

• Resilient bars and acoustic boards

These systems are designed to achieve excellent sound reduction ratings (dB), ensuring privacy and comfort.

Fire-Rated & Impact-Resistant Walls

Safety and durability are paramount in public and high-traffic buildings. We install certified fire-rated partitions providing up to 120 minutes fire resistance, as well as impact-resistant boards such as Gyproc DuraLine for schools, hospitals, and corridors.

Thermal Performance & Sustainable Construction

Dry lining plays a key role in improving a building’s thermal efficiency. We install insulated plasterboard laminates and PIR-backed systems to external walls, helping reduce heat loss and improve EPC ratings. The materials used — steel and gypsum — are highly recyclable, supporting sustainable construction practices.

A Practical, Client-Focused Service

We take a consultative approach to every project, advising on the most appropriate board types and system specifications. Our tape and joint finishing service delivers smooth, decoration-ready surfaces without the long drying times associated with traditional plaster.
