Drywall in Dubai: A Complete Interior Finishing Solution
What is it and what is it used for?
Drywall (GKL, plasterboard) is a composite sheet material consisting of a gypsum core and cardboard facing. It is the foundation of drywall construction technology for creating perfectly smooth surfaces. In Dubai and the UAE, it is used for installing interior partition walls, leveling uneven walls and ceilings, installing suspended ceilings and multi-level structures, as well as creating decorative elements: arches, niches, and boxes for concealing utility lines.
What is included in the basic supply service package?
The basic service of "Stroy Dubai" includes the comprehensive supply of all components of a turnkey system: various types of drywall sheets, a complete set of galvanized metal profiles (metal framing), specialized fasteners (self-tapping screws for metal and dowels), and necessary consumables for finishing seams (joint compound, reinforcing tape, primer). We work exclusively with certified materials from leading brands, adapted to the temperature fluctuations and conditions of the region.
Who is it relevant for and for what types of real estate?
The service is critically important for a wide range of clients: from private individuals renovating an apartment to professional construction crews and large contracting companies finishing commercial properties. We supply systems for all classes of Dubai real estate: from budget finishing of studios in International City to premium renovation of apartments in Downtown Dubai and private villas in Jumeirah and Al Barsha.
Specialized types of drywall and their application in the UAE:
Moisture-Resistant Drywall (GKLV / Green Board): A specialized solution for areas with high humidity levels. Cladding of walls and ceilings in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and spa areas to prevent deformation and mold growth. Features a characteristic green cardboard facing.
Fire-Resistant Drywall (GKLO / Fire-Rated Board): A key element of passive fire protection in accordance with the strict standards of Civil Defence UAE. Used for cladding elevator shafts, emergency corridors, creating fire barriers in commercial buildings, offices, and residential complexes.
Ceiling Drywall: Sheets of reduced thickness, specifically designed for installing suspended and multi-level ceilings. Lightens the structure and reduces the load on the frame, allowing for the creation of complex design solutions with built-in lighting.
Flexible Drywall (for arches): Flexible sheets of reduced thickness with perforation or a special core composition. Used for creating smooth curvilinear shapes, decorative arches, wave-like ceilings, and other complex architectural elements in interiors.
High-Strength Drywall: Sheets reinforced with fiberglass or additives to increase resistance to mechanical impact. Recommended for wall finishing in corridors, public spaces, children's rooms, and other high-traffic areas or areas with a risk of damage.
Soundproofing Solutions based on Drywall: Multi-layer drywall structures combined with special acoustic profiles and sound-absorbing materials (mineral wool). Used for effective noise insulation of interior partitions in apartments, home theaters, music rooms, and office spaces.
