Drywall for Hotels in Menorca — 120 Rooms in 8-10 Weeks Refurbishment
Drywall hotel refurbishment in Menorca: 120 rooms in 8-10 weeks during the October-April low season, with CTE-HR acoustic insulation, EI-60 fire compartmentation and timelines guaranteed by contract.
Why choose drywall for your hotel refurbishment in Menorca?
Menorca's hotel sector — approximately 400 hotels across the island — operates in very tight refurbishment windows: the season closes on 1 November and reopens on 15 April, with the optimum between October and March. Drywall is the construction system that best fits this reality because it allows phased refurbishment with 3-4 parallel crews without shutting the whole hotel, generates minimal debris and is completed in half the time of masonry. At Pladur Menorca we work with Barceló, Meliá, Iberostar, RIU, Hipotels, Artiem, Blau, Grupotel, Sol, Prinsotel, Carema and Valentin since 2004, on 5-7 year room renovation cycles and 10-12 year full refurbishments.
"For public residential use, CTE DB-SI requires EI-60 floor-by-floor compartmentation and EI-90 in staircases; car-park sectors under 100 m² with Knauf Fireboard. CTE DB-HR requires 50 dB DnT,A between rooms and 45 dB toward corridors"

Optimal hotel renovation calendar
Low season in Menorca (1 November-15 April, optimum October-March) is the hotel refurbishment window. Occupancy drops to 15-20% in core winter months, which allows entire floors to be refurbished in Son Bou, Cala Galdana, Arenal d'en Castell, Son Parc, Cala en Bosc, Son Xoriguer or Punta Prima without significantly hitting revenue.
We recommend planning the refurbishment from September: on-site visit, quote approval and material reservation for Placo Silence, Knauf Fireboard, Glasroc H Ocean, Rockwool and Isover. Sea freight of boards and profiles from mainland Spain takes 1-2 weeks, and some technical products need up to 3 weeks, so placing orders early is key to meeting deadlines.
For large 120-room hotels we deploy 3-4 parallel crews on different floors and complete the refurbishment in 8-10 weeks, with margin for finishes, deep cleaning and pre-opening before Easter. For 60-300+ room hotels we scale throughput while preserving floor- and room-level traceability.
We offer contracts with a per-day delay penalty (1-2% of daily revenue): if we miss the agreed deadline we apply a discount. This guarantee is particularly valued by chains such as Barceló, Meliá, Iberostar, RIU, Hipotels, Artiem, Blau, Grupotel, Sol, Prinsotel, Carema and Valentin that need absolute certainty on season opening dates.
Applicable regulations for hotels in Menorca (CTE-DB-SI and CTE-HR)
Hotel premises are subject to stricter regulations than private homes. The CTE classifies hotels as "public residential use" (RD 1371/2007), which entails specific fire-protection (CTE DB-SI) and acoustic (CTE DB-HR) requirements that drywall meets with the right Placo and Knauf configurations. Handover includes Rw acoustic certificates, EI fire-protection certificates and, in bathrooms and wet areas, Z275 hot-dip galvanisation plus vapour barrier and H1 class.

See full pricing tableYes. We work in phases, floor by floor or in blocks of rooms. While one area is under renovation, the rest of the hotel can stay open. We coordinate working hours to minimise disruption to guests on the floors still in service.
2-4 working days per room depending on scope (ceiling only, ceiling + acoustic wall lining, or full layout change). For blocks of 20 rooms we run parallel teams and complete the refurbishment in 10-15 working days.
Yes. We use fire-resistant board (type FOC/F) reaching EI-60 and EI-120 fire resistance depending on configuration. It meets the compartmentation required by CTE DB-SI for hotel premises. We provide all technical documentation and material certificates.
With our decoupled partition systems using high-density mineral wool we reach 50-58 dBA of airborne sound insulation, meeting and exceeding the 50 dBA minimum required by CTE-HR for protected spaces in public residential use.
€2,500-4,500 per room for a full renovation (partitions + ceiling + acoustic insulation). LED false ceiling in corridors only: €25-40/m². Fire compartmentation per floor: €55-85/m². We offer volume discounts from 10 rooms onwards.
The optimal window is October to March, when hotel occupancy drops to 15-40%. We recommend planning in September to reserve materials and assign the team. Renovations that start in November usually deliver with comfortable margin before Easter.
