Drywall in Maó — Installers in the Capital of Menorca

Historic Maó flats around Plaça Espanya, Costa de ses Voltes and Costa des General have 3-4.5 m ceilings. We drop them to 2.7-2.8 m with Knauf systems (from €29/m²), cutting heated volume by 30-40 % and integrating 2700 K LED downlights in a standard 10-12 day project.

Inside the 20-30 cm cavity we route new electrical circuits, AC split ducts, 5.1 speaker wiring and KNX home-automation cabling, fully concealed and accessible via hidden service hatches.

A typical 90-110 m² Maó flat from 1965-1978 has four small bedrooms, a 1.2 m corridor and no dressing room. We redraw the layout with 78 mm drywall partitions (€45/m²) in 5-8 working days, without touching load-bearing walls or the original forjado.

The process generates under 200 kg of waste versus 4-5 t from traditional brickwork. You can keep living in the property, working zone by zone, and the result is a new floor plan adapted to current uses: open kitchen, suite with dressing room, home-office alcove.

Old Town buildings raise capillary moisture through marès sandstone up to 1.2 m above floor level. Placo Habito H or Knauf Aquapanel (water absorption under 5 %) blocks the damp without sealing the wall's natural breathing.

The system combines a 46 mm ventilated cavity, 40 mm Isover mineral wool, a 13 mm H board and vapour-permeable paint. 24-48 h of install per 10 m² of wall, with visible results before the first finishing coat.

Restaurants, boutiques and 12-25 room boutique hotels around the Port of Maó, Costa de ses Voltes and Anden de Llevant. Refits with drywall reach the CTE-HR 55 dB requirement between premises and dwellings above, avoiding complaints and closure orders from the Ajuntament de Maó.

We handle access through narrow 80 cm doors and 18-step staircases with 1.8 m head clearance. Boards in 1.20 m and 1.50 m formats, carrying cradles and lifting belts adapted for any Old Town loading restriction.

Flats in Malbúger and Trepucó were built 1960-1985 to pre-NBE-CA-88 standards, with 9 cm brick party walls at only 33-38 dB. The CTE-HR of 2009 requires 50 dB DnT,A between dwellings.

Our 98/600 decoupled partition (double 13 mm Placo BA13 + 70 mm Rockwool 70 kg/m³ + anti-vibration strips) measures 52-55 dB in site tests. Priced from €62/m². Noise from bars below is cut by 15-20 dB with 72 mm ceiling plus floating floor.

Cala Llonga and Es Grau villas range 150-400 m² with construction budgets of €1,800-3,500/m². We deliver coffered and stepped ceilings, indirect 2700 K LED coves, double-board partitions at 55 dB and Rockwool-insulated thermal linings against tramuntana exposure.

Placo and Knauf materials only, Q4 finish (DIN 18202 invisible joints), coordinated on-site with interior architects and Daikin VRV installers. 6-10 week timelines depending on floor area.
