DRYLINING
When it comes to drylining, both the structural integrity of the partition wall and providing a level surface are of equal importance, but making sure walls are robust enough to allow secure anchorage of heavy fixtures can be time-consuming.
The Real Challenges Behind Drylining Systems
Modern wall systems face increasing pressure to support heavier fixtures, evolving layouts and stricter performance standards, yet traditional patressing methods often fall short. Inconsistent installation, unclear fixing positions and materials not designed for modern loads can lead to weak points that compromise strength, acoustics and fire performance. These issues often only surface during fit‑out, causing delays, costly rework and reduced confidence in the overall wall build‑up. As projects move faster and expectations rise, reliable, easy‑to‑install patressing solutions are essential to ensure walls perform as intended from the start.
Engineered Solutions for Long Term Performance
The SMARTPLY Standard
SMARTPLY produces a wide range of versatile, cost effective and environmentally conscious OSB panels for the market. All of our products are manufactured to be incredibly strong and highly versatile for a range of applications. With added benefits such as moisture resistance, tongue and groove and pre-cut rebates, the SMARTPLY range is the solution when it comes to sustainable panels within offsite construction.
Structural Reliability
A pre-cut pattressing solution provides secure load transfer within drylining systems, supporting fixtures such as cabinets, radiators, and wall-mounted equipment. By creating a solid fixing zone behind the finished surface, it reduces the risk of fixing failure and future maintenance issues.
Installation Efficiency
SMARTPLY PATTRESS PLUS is the pre-rebated, pre-cut OSB3 board that saves a dryliner time and money when installing pattressing within a partition system. It is designed to fit within 'C' shaped metal studs within a partition system and it is tested to the relevant sections of BS5234 Part 2 demonstrating high pull-out strength.
Quality Assured
All SMARTPLY panels are manufactured in accordance with EN 300 performance standards.

Sustainably Sourced
Our SMARTPLY OSB is manufactured using FSC®‑certified timber, and other controlled sources.
Pre-Cut, Pre-Rebated, PATTRESS PLUS!
PATTRESS PLUS is an engineered OSB3 panel, which makes it the perfect structural board when something heavy needs to be fixed to the wall and its continuous recess on one side means it will not add extra thickness to the wall in that area.
