Independent wall lining

system
GypLyner IWL independent wall
lining is a lightweight,
non-loadbearing drylining which
is erected independently of the
external wall construction. The
system is used in all types of
building, but is particularly
suitable for those with reinforced
concrete or steel frames. The
lining provides fire resistance to
structural steel sections within the
lining cavity and can be used to
increase sound insulation and
meet thermal performance
requirements of new or existing
masonry walls.

Construction tips

● Estimated construction time 3m2 / man hour (single layer lining) or 2m2 / man hour (double layer lining) ready for
finishing

● All parts of the lining system (including thermal insulation) should remain independent of the external walling -
position lining so a continuous cavity remains between the back of the insulation and the external walling

● Fire resistance is primarily to structural steel located between the lining and external cladding, but can also
contribute to fire protection of the complete wall structure when the inside of the wall is exposed to fire (dependent
on wall construction)

● Keep the drylining cavity closed to prevent downgrading the thermal performance - where required, apply a
continuous bead of Gyproc Sealant to the perimeter of external walls, around service penetrations, openings,
junctions and around the perimeter of suspended timber floors
