Structural Benefits

As the plasterboard is set off the walls slightly an air gap is created which greatly improves the thermal and acoustic qualities of the structure. In addition the board is set up off the floor which allows the wall to continually breathe. For long term safety from dampening, dry lining can be used to insulate the walls.

Improved Finish

The plasterboard is extremely consistent in respect to surface finish and straightness. The walls are generally straighter and do not show minor imperfections.
