Drywall & Gypsum Board Suppliers, UAE
Drywall & Gypsum Board is the dominant interior partition and ceiling lining material in GCC construction, used to create non-load-bearing walls, fire-rated enclosures, and seamless painted interior surfaces. The Gulf market consumes vast quantities of gypsum board driven by rapid construction cycles and the material's versatility for interior layout. Regional gypsum board manufacturers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman supply the majority of GCC demand.

Gypsum board (also called plasterboard or drywall) consists of a gypsum core sandwiched between paper or glass-fibre facings. Standard board types include regular (for general interior partitions and ceilings), moisture-resistant (green board — for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid areas), fire-resistant (pink board — with glass fibre and additives for up to 2 hours fire rating in assemblies), impact-resistant (for high-traffic corridors and public areas), and acoustic boards (with higher density for improved sound insulation).
In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, gypsum board is used for virtually all interior partitions, ceiling linings, bulkheads, column casings, shaft walls, and fire enclosures. Standard board size is 1200mm wide by 2400mm, 2700mm, or 3000mm long, in thicknesses from 9.5mm to 15mm. Key specifications include board type matched to the application (moisture-resistant for wet areas, fire-resistant for rated assemblies), partition system (single or double layer, single or double stud), acoustic performance (STC rating of the complete partition system), and fire resistance period (tested to BS EN 1364-1 or ASTM E119).
Major gypsum board manufacturers in the GCC include Knauf, Gyproc (Saint-Gobain), National Gypsum (Saudi Arabia), and Oman-based producers. The framing system (galvanised light-gauge steel studs and tracks) is typically supplied by the same manufacturer or compatible system suppliers. Procurement managers should specify complete partition and ceiling systems rather than individual components to ensure tested fire and acoustic performance. Verify that the contractor follows the manufacturer's installation manual — particularly for fire-rated assemblies where board orientation, screw spacing, and joint treatment are critical to achieving the rated performance. Lead times from regional stock are typically 1 to 2 weeks.
