Tabiques y Particiones de Pladur en Menorca

The price of a drywall partition in Menorca starts at €45/m² for a simple partition with one layer per side. A double-layer acoustic partition with rock wool insulation can cost €65-90/m². The final price depends on height, board type, insulation and whether it includes recessed electrical or plumbing services.

A drywall partition of 10 linear metres (2.5 m high) is installed in roughly 1 working day. Including framing, boards, insulation, joint tape and a first filler coat, a two-installer team can complete 15-25 m² per day. The final finish (skim, sanding) requires an extra 1-2 days of drying before priming and painting.

A drywall partition is not structural: it does not carry the building's loads. However, it can hold significant suspended loads with the right fixings. A standard partition supports up to 15 kg per point with drywall-specific plugs. For heavier loads (loaded shelves, large TVs, bathroom units) the inner frame is reinforced with extra framing or chemical anchors are fitted.

A simple drywall partition (1 board per side) offers Rw 33-40 dB of acoustic insulation. A double-board partition with 50 mm rock wool reaches Rw 50-57 dB, comparable to a rendered brick partition. For maximum soundproofing (music rooms, offices) double-frame partitions with an air cavity and mineral wool are installed, exceeding 60 dB.

Yes. For wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and laundries we use moisture-resistant plasterboard (green), which incorporates water-repellent additives. This board meets EN 520 type H2 and resists humidity without deforming or losing its mechanical properties. It is combined with joint treatment using waterproof sealant in areas most exposed to water.

Technically yes, as it is not load-bearing, but it is important to check first that no electrical, plumbing or HVAC services run through it. The demolition generates gypsum dust and rubble that must be managed. If the partition separates properties or communities, you need the community's permission and a qualified technician.

The most common thicknesses are: simple partition with 48 mm stud (total ~72 mm with 13 mm boards), standard partition with 70 mm stud (total ~96 mm), and acoustic partition with 100 mm stud (total ~126 mm). Compared with a half-brick partition (110 mm) plus render (140 mm total), drywall saves 4-14 cm per partition.

It depends on the fixing: with drywall nylon plugs it holds 10-15 kg per point. With butterfly or Molly metal anchors, up to 25 kg. For heavier loads (bathroom units, large TVs) chemical anchors are used or the partition is reinforced with extra framing in the load area. A properly installed and anchored drywall partition easily holds a full bathroom unit.

Yes. Standard plasterboard offers class B-s1,d0 (Euroclass) fire reaction. Fire-rated boards (RF or F type) contain fibreglass and vermiculite, achieving EI 60 to EI 120 minute resistance (they keep their integrity for 1-2 hours under fire). A double fire-rated board partition with rock wool is the standard solution in offices, retail premises and public buildings.

For interior partition work (not affecting structure or facade) a major works permit is not normally required, but a minor works notification may be needed depending on the town hall. In Menorca, municipalities such as Maó, Ciutadella or Alaior require a prior notification for interior renovations. We handle all the necessary paperwork if you need it.
