Many homeowners upgrading their insulation ask a crucial question: Can I still install or upgrade a home alarm system on drylining walls? The good news is yes, you absolutely can.
Whether you’ve recently installed drylining insulation for energy efficiency or you’re planning to, alarm systems can be safely and cleanly integrated into your home with the right planning and professional help.
What Is Drylining?
Drylining is a popular method of insulating and finishing interior walls using insulated plasterboard. It improves energy efficiency and helps maintain a sleek internal appearance—particularly in older homes.
While drylining does add a layer of thickness to your walls, it doesn’t prevent you from installing or upgrading a wired or wireless alarm system. Albeit, ensure your insulation installer is reputable.
Retrofitting an Alarm System: What You Need to Know
Professional security installers like HouseAlarms are fully equipped to work with insulated and drylined walls. With the right approach, retrofitting is straightforward and secure.
Options for Retrofitting on Drylining
- Wireless Systems: Modern alarm systems often rely on wireless technology, making installation non-invasive and ideal for drylined homes.
- Surface-Mounted Cabling: In cases where wired systems are preferred, cables can be neatly routed in discreet trunking or through access points.
- Behind-the-Board Access: If drylining is being installed or removed during renovation, installers can pre-plan cable routing behind panels.
Professional alarm installers will tailor the approach to your home layout and insulation type, ensuring no compromise on safety or energy efficiency.
