Cut each GTEC Dryliner Channel RD1 5mm<br />

shorter than the floor to ceiling height. Locate<br />

the GTEC Dryliner Channel RD1 into GTEC<br />

Dryliner Track at floor and ceiling.<br />

Where wall height exceeds<br />

channel length, connect<br />

two lengths of channel<br />

together with GTEC Dryliner<br />

Channel Connector RD3.<br />

5<br />

Ensure the channel is plumb, and secure to<br />

each bracket leg using GTEC Pan Head Self<br />

Tapping screws. Where necessary bend back<br />

the legs of the bracket so they do not protrude<br />

past the face of the channel.<br />

6<br />

Cut the plasterboard 5mm shorter than the<br />

floor-to-ceiling height, butt the board firmly<br />

against ceiling and fix the plasterboards to<br />

the framing with GTEC Self Tapping screws<br />

at 300mm centres.<br />

Butt the plasterboard edges lightly against<br />

each other and centre the edges over the<br />

channels. Where the height of the lining is<br />

greater than the plasterboard length, use<br />

GTEC Fixing Channel to support the horizontal<br />

cut edges of the plasterboards.<br />
