Drylining Walls

    I want to dryline internal walls.
    I plan to slab directly over what is there.

    How does this effect the existing door frames?
    Do they need to be removed prior to drylining & new frames installed?
    Or do I dryline first then get new frames?
    Do I need new frames?...

    Thanks for the help...

    yeah new frames needed. You can measure up for frames after you get plastering done.

    you could just take the moulding off and build it out using planed timber. then refit new mouldings ontop of the new timber. sand it all down and caulk the gap lines before re-painting.

    Yep a cost effective fix, if you use a Router to mould the edge of the piece you are planting on, when you fit the architrave you get the illusion of a deep molding round the doors. And can make it much harder for the eye to spot the joint. :)
    Good for up to an 1" - 1.25", any more than that you may have to get new frames, or move the door in flush and fill gap left by moving Hinges, lock Receiver..etc

    Sorry I have a stupid question but why would you dry line internal walls. I thought it was only external walls that should be dry lined?

    by the time you glue and screw new PAO timber,
    to both sides of the door frame ,
    refill old hinge recesses and sand down .
    a chippy would be finishing the second frame.
    I belive anyway.

    ive done this to alot of frams and its a grand job i wouldnt put it on both sides of the frames. if you can afford new frames go for them! if not if it was my house id take out the frames move them forward and put a piece on one side only. it looks a lot neater. put them on the side with no rebate.
