Drywall in Alaior — Installation and Renovations in Inland Menorca

Alaior (~9,700 residents) is one of the three historic inland towns of Menorca and the island's academic hub thanks to the UIB campus at Can Salord. Its territory reaches the southern coast, where Son Bou (Menorca's longest beach), Torre Solí, Cala en Porter (home of the legendary Cova d'en Xoroi) and Sa Plana concentrate holiday apartments and villas. This mix of traditional village centre, academic activity and active tourism makes drywall demand steady year-round.

The historic centre of Alaior is home to village houses with thick stone and lime walls, low wooden-beam ceilings and inherited layouts. Homes now being rehabilitated as primary residences or bought as investment benefit hugely from drywall: Knauf linings with 60 mm Isover rock wool improve the thermal insulation of thick walls and fight winter condensation (Menorca is climate zone B3 per CTE-HE), Placo false ceilings from 29€/m² modernise old spaces and integrate recessed LED lighting, and drywall partitions create functional layouts without touching load-bearing walls.

The southern coast of Alaior — Son Bou, Torre Solí, Cala en Porter — is a major tourist engine with thousands of holiday apartments. Properties built from the 1970s to the 1990s need regular updates to stay competitive on Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo. Drywall is the perfect tool: fast distribution partitions from 45€/m², between-season refurbishments that preserve neighbouring units, and acoustic insulation with 47 dB reduction (CTE DB-HR) to eliminate noise complaints between apartments.

The UIB campus at Can Salord generates demand from student housing, offices and shared workspaces. Drywall allows quick fit-outs: a 100 m² office can have new false ceilings, distribution partitions and acoustic insulation in under a week, minimising business downtime and letting premises open fast.

Son Bou and Cala en Porter, with their direct exposure to the south wind and sea humidity, demand moisture-resistant H-type boards in bathrooms and kitchens, and rock wool insulation to control summer heat. In villages like Sa Plana and the Alaior centre, the priority is winter thermal comfort and discreet modernisation.
