There is more than one technique to insulate and line the inside walls of a structure; the most common method is called insulated dry lining of internal walls. The “u” value of the insulation produced by independent lining is another way that has the potential to be slightly lower (which would suggest it is superior) than even dry lining. However, the only way to preserve the building’s beauty, architectural elements, and structural integrity in existing structures is to install insulated dry lining. In certain cases, this might be considered almost impossible. characteristics of dry lining that are worthy of mention Insulated dry lining is a basic composite panel that consists of a slab of expanded polystyrene foam and a lining of plasterboard on one side. This panel is not sophisticated in any way. Depending on the design insulating property of walls, the insulation may be purchased in a variety of thicknesses (for example, between 45.5 and 30.5 millimeters). In most cases, the thickness of the plasterboard liner is around 9.5 millimeters. According to bs/en/iso 6946:1997, the usual “u” factor range of an insulated liner board is 0.33 to 0.23 w/m2k. This range was worked out using the formula. When it comes to the panel’s ability to withstand fire, the 9.5mm plasterboard ensures its integrity until all of the people have been evacuated. Because the EPS foam contains primarily air in beads, it does not promote combustion and is hence noncombustible. In addition, it undergoes a chemical treatment at the plant to make it more resistant to fire. The insulated dry liner has an odp value of zero. Despite the fact that eps is a byproduct of petroleum, the amount utilized is quite low. What are the benefits of doing so? Insulation made of expanded polystyrene foam may be purchased in a number of different densities; nevertheless, each density on its own is a structurally robust and self-supporting part. Additionally, the stiff EPS board offers some degree of support to the plasterboard lining, which contributes to the latter’s increased resilience to impact. The substance of the EPS foam board is resistant to the effects of dampness. As a result, dry lining boards provide superior protection when used in the process of wall insulation retrofits. Because only adhesives and mechanical fasteners are used, the installation process is completely dry, uncomplicated, time and labor saving, and cost effective (two fasteners per panel). How does one go about installing dry liner board? It is essential that the ceiling lining be finished before attempting to carry out a successful installation of insulated dry lining. The surface that has to be dry lined needs to be clean and dry before the process can begin. Even little pieces of wall paper, loose plaster, and dust may ruin an otherwise well done installation. After the lining has been completed, wood battens, metal or plastic anchors should be set in areas on the wall in preparation for the installation of heavy fixtures such as sinks, wash basins, and the like. Prior to fixing the dry liner boards, any holes that need to be accommodated on the linerboards for electromechanical services or building features must be completed. These must be completed before the dry liner boards are fixed. Before the panels are attached, all of the electrical wiring should be routed via conduit, casing, or trunking and should be insulated and encased with pvc. The boards are able to be sawn for the purposes outlined above as well as the installation. If the insulation is sliced through with a sharp knife, the plaster board liner that lies below is scored, and then the insulation is snapped to create a clean edge. Dry liner boards of the adhesive fixing type may be installed immediately using adhesives that are based on plaster or cement. The glue is spread in horizontal lines from the edge of the board to the middle of the board in the form of vertical bands. As a second option, a proprietary bonding substance might be used instead. It is important to completely seal with the adhesive all apertures, service penetrations, junctions, connections at ceilings and floors, etc., in order to reduce the amount of air that escapes. Sealing service penetrations and their sleeves with butyl rubber or a similar fire-resistant and malleable material is recommended. When gaps need to be sealed at the completed floor level, proprietary adhesives are often employed. After positioning the board on the backing material (the wall), adjusting the level, and maintaining pressure until the adhesive has set, insert the packing strips and shims. It is then required to conclude by tightening two secondary mechanical anchors that have been installed in advance up to a depth of at least 35 mm and at 25 mm spacing from the top edge. These anchors were spaced 25 mm apart from one another.
