Introduction

What is a drywall false ceiling?

A drywall false ceiling is a horizontal structure suspended from the slab by galvanised steel profiles and threaded rods, with laminated plasterboards screwed to it under UNE-EN 520. The drop ranges from 10 to 30 cm depending on the system, hiding cables, pipes and irregular slabs under a flat surface ready to paint.

Fire rating

EI 120

"The Spanish Building Code states that horizontal construction elements must meet the basic requirement SI 1 on internal propagation, ensuring safety in the event of fire"

— CTE-DB-SI, Basic Fire Safety Document, Article 4

According to Knauf technical datasheets, D112 false ceiling systems achieve fire resistance of up to EI 120 with double fire-resistant board, far exceeding the Balearic Islands regulatory requirements.

  • Historic centre Maó buildings with exposed beams or irregular slabs.
  • Holiday apartments Ciutadella, Sant Lluís or Es Castell, modernised between seasons.
  • Offices & premises HVAC, lighting and telecoms integrated above the board.

Installation requires no wet work: no cement or mortar, minimal debris and space usable again the day after. A 50 m² ceiling installs in 1–2 working days; a 90 m² ceiling with integrated electrics in 3–5 days.

Why choose drywall

Advantages of drywall false ceilings

Conceals services

The 10–30 cm cavity hides electrical cabling, plumbing, HVAC ducts and ventilation. Integrates every service with no intervention in the load-bearing structure.

Improves acoustic insulation

A false ceiling with mineral wool and anti-vibration suspension cuts impact and airborne noise between floors by 8–15 dB, in line with CTE-HR. Essential in multi-storey buildings and tourist areas like Punta Prima or Arenal d'en Castell.

Thermal reduction

The cavity with mineral wool cuts heat transfer by up to 30%. In Menorca, with 80–90 days/year above 30 °C, that means lower air-conditioning consumption and alignment with CTE-DB-HE.

Finish ready to paint

With joints treated with tape and compound and sanded to 120 grit, the surface meets a flatness tolerance below 2 mm. Accepts plastic paint, textures or wallpaper with no added preparation.

No building work or demolition

The original ceiling is not broken up, no tonnes of debris are generated and dust is vacuumed during board cutting. Compatible with occupied flats and residents’ associations.

Fast execution timeline

A 50 m² ceiling installs in 1–2 working days. A full ceiling refurbishment in a 90 m² flat is delivered in 3–5 days. Critical for holiday lets with rotation between seasons.

Installation process

How long does a drywall false ceiling take?

The timeline depends on three factors: area to cover, chosen system (seamless, acoustic, decorative, technical with LED) and whether electrical or HVAC services need to be integrated above the board.

A 50 m² seamless ceiling with no services installs in a single working day. With recessed LED spotlights the timeline rises to 1.5–2 days. For double-board acoustic systems, coffers or curved shapes the timeline reaches 3–5 days.

Joint treatment with tape and compound, priming and sanding to 120 grit are carried out the next day and do not block use of the adjacent space. Painting is not included in the standard offer and can be done 24–48 h after the compound is fully dry.

We work across all of Menorca

From Maó to Sant Lluís, from Ferreries to Es Mercadal. We cover all 8 municipalities of Menorca with the same team and the same standards.

Fixed quote with travel already included — no surprise charges

Our parent company is based in Mallorca; travel to Menorca is factored transparently into the fixed quote from day one. The quote itself is always free and no-obligation.

The price of a drywall false ceiling in Menorca starts at €29/m² for a simple single-layer ceiling without insulation. A false ceiling with thermal/acoustic insulation costs €35-55/m². Curved ceilings, ceilings with integrated lighting or special shapes can reach €70-90/m². The quote includes frame, boards, joint treatment and a finish ready to paint.

The technical minimum is 10 cm (frame + board). In flats it is typically between 10 and 20 cm. If services must be housed (air conditioning, ventilation, electrical) it may need 20-30 cm. In homes with ceilings over 2.80 m it is rarely an issue. In tall ceilings (3 m+) a false ceiling improves the proportion and thermal comfort.

Yes, it is possible. With a drop of just 10 cm the ceiling would be at 2.50 m, the minimum habitable height under Spanish regulations. If services must run through, it may drop to 2.40 m. We assess it case by case on the technical visit to optimise space to the maximum.

A simple 50 m² ceiling is installed in 1-2 working days. Ceilings with electrical services, insulation or special shapes can require 3-5 days. Joint treatment needs 24-48 h of drying before painting. A two-installer team can complete 40-60 m² per day on flat ceilings.

Yes, it is one of the greatest advantages of a drywall false ceiling. Recessed downlights, perimeter LED strips in Cove Lighting, recessed panels and directional spots can be installed. The inner frame is reinforced at luminaire anchor points. The electrical installation is fully hidden above the false ceiling.

Yes, using moisture-resistant board (green) that withstands humidity without deforming. In windowless bathrooms or those with a shower, we recommend moisture-resistant board + joint treatment with sealant. For ceilings directly above showers, we can combine moisture-resistant board with a coat of liquid waterproofing. It is the standard solution in Menorca hotels.

Yes, although it depends on the type of noise. For airborne noise (voices, television) a false ceiling with 50 mm mineral wool and double board reduces 35-45 dB. For impact noise (footsteps, drops) a decoupled ceiling system with anti-vibration hangers is needed. The most effective full solution combines an acoustic false ceiling + a floating floor in the flat above.

Yes. With 6.5 mm or 9.5 mm drywall boards you can create curves with a minimum 1 m radius. For tighter curves, special flexible boards are used or the back of the board is scored. We execute curved, vaulted, angled, stepped ceilings and ones with openings for skylights. They are common in high-end home renovations.

Practically none. A drywall false ceiling needs no specific maintenance. Joints can suffer if the building has significant structural movement, but under normal conditions they last decades without intervention. Recommended checks: verify there are no damp stains (they indicate leaks from above) and that the downlights work correctly.

Yes, it is fully reversible. It is dismantled by cutting the boards and removing the metal frame. It does not damage the original ceiling. This sets it apart from other systems such as sprayed plaster. If you later need access to services (pipes, cables) you can open an access hatch or partially dismantle and rebuild afterwards.

For bathrooms and kitchens, we install false ceilings with moisture-resistant board that withstands ambient humidity without deteriorating. Water absorption below 5%.
