Interior walls can be treated the same as exterior walls, although in the main a dry lined plaster board applied in the conventional manner is the preferred option. Battens can also be used to dry line.
Styro Build does not need to be dry lined with thermally insulated 30-40 mm EPS backed plasterboard as in conventional
build. The 50 mm internal insulation is already in place as an integral part of the Styro Build System.
Yet Another Saving!
Technical notes for wet-plastering internal walls
Wet finishes do not usually require a reinforcing mesh.
Thistle bondit is applied to the Styro Build* and left to dry overnight.
The following day, an 8-11mm thick coat of Thistlebond is then applied, followed by a 2mm skim of multi-finish.
For dry lining, simply fix plasterboard to wall with dabs of dry wall lining adhesive in the conventional manner.
