Drywall and False Ceilings in Playa del Carmen: Fast Walls, Clean Ceilings, No Mould
Drywall is the fastest way to divide a space, hide ducts and build the ceiling details that make lighting look good. On this coast it needs the right materials: moisture-resistant or cement boards where there is humidity, galvanised framing that will not rust, and joints finished so they do not crack when the air conditioning cycles. We build partitions, ceilings and coves for homes, condos, shops and offices.
What We Build in Drywall
Partitions
New rooms, closets and office divisions with acoustic insulation and reinforcement for TVs and cabinets.
False Ceilings
Flat and multi-level ceilings that hide AC ducts, plumbing and wiring, with access panels where needed.
Light Coves
Recessed coves and slots for indirect LED lighting, curtains and blinds.
Wet & Exterior Areas
Green board and cement board for bathrooms, kitchens, terraces and soffits.
Acoustic Ceilings
Mineral fibre and perforated boards for offices, restaurants and home cinemas.
Commercial Fit-Out
Shops, clinics and offices built fast at night or on weekends to keep business open.
Drywall that survives Caribbean humidity
Standard gypsum board absorbs moisture, sags and grows mould if it is installed in the wrong place. We use moisture-resistant boards in bathrooms and kitchens, cement boards outside and in showers, galvanised studs with the correct gauge, and corrosion-resistant screws. Joints are taped and finished in three passes, and we leave a gap from the floor so mopping water is not wicked up. Ceilings under roofs get insulation and ventilation so condensation does not stain them.
Where drywall is the right choice, and where it is not
- Yes: interior divisions in condos and offices, ceilings, coves, closets, hiding services, quick commercial fit-outs.
- With care: bathrooms (only with green or cement board and waterproofing), exterior soffits (cement board).
- No: exterior walls exposed to hurricanes and walls that carry loads; there we use block or concrete.
