How much insulation should I use for dry-lining?

    I'm currently in the process of constructing a new build house. I'm looking for advice on dry-lining the house. I have left a 120 mls gap in the cavity walls and am filling it with 80mls rigid high density insulation. I was thinking of dry-lining the inside of the exterior walls with 38mls (25 of insulation and 12 of plaster board). Should I go for 50mls of dry-lining insulation (38mls insulation and 12 plasterbosrd)? Would I gain anything from it? Would the cost justify me doing it? I would appreciate any guidance.

    mls? what are you talking about? liquid? you mean mm.

    yes, most people that would be dry lining would be using the 50mm board, if ur going to go to the trouble of doing it, throw on the extra 12mm. .

    unless ur funiture will be needing the massive 12mm in the room :D

    funny u mention it,

    i am building,
    cavity, 120, with 80mm insulation,
    and 50mm Dryline on external walls inside.
