Why have gypsum boards become so trendy?

Versatility

One of the main reasons behind the prominence of gypsum in the local scene is its versatility. Any project which you may have imagined or any image which may have inspired you, can be materialised, regardless of your requirements and your tastes. Being a lightweight material, it has the power to provide you with a myriad of dynamic possibilities when it comes to redefining your living spaces. It is a flexible and innovative material which can be customised to create gypsum products of any size, shape, colour and style, in an endeavour to transform a sterile space into a practical and stylish space oozing warmth and functionality. There are no restrictions to what you can achieve with gypsum boards or gypsum tiles.

Style

Gypsum boards have the faculty to contribute greatly to the aesthetics of a room and have developed into an integral feature of interior design. Revitalise your home and breathe new life into your living spaces with the vast range of eye-catching and stylish designs which will surely set the ambience you have in mind.

Gypsum boards can be designed in many different ways to suit both classical settings and modern and contemporary spaces in any residential, commercial or industrial space. A fresh look would not just rejuvenate and enrich the space but will also stimulate your mind.

Practical Features

Apart from its decorative features, this material offers multiple practical elements. It is known to be durable, fire resistant and moisture proof. Some specialised boards may be more fireproof and water resistant than standard boards and can come in diverse degrees of flexibility and strength. Acoustic boards with sound insulation are also available.

What type of board or tile you choose depends on the room you're placing them in and their purpose. Commercial and industrial establishments, such as hotels, shops and offices would preferably have fireproof gypsum boards installed for safety purposes. Standard boards may be sufficient for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways. Bathrooms would require waterproof gypsum boards, unlike standard boards which would absorb water and cause damage. Outdoor boards would need to be resistant to all weather elements.

Integrated Lighting

Gypsum enables you to install integrated lighting, heating, cooling and extraction systems in a more flexible manner as you'll be able to hide messy wiring, piping and ducts effectively. The integrated lighting fixtures will contribute in creating the ambience which you desire.

Easy Maintenance

Gypsum boards can be easily removed or adjusted throughout the years if necessary. You may need to adapt to new requirements or new trending styles and decide to transform the size, shape, design or colour of your room.

What can gypsum boards be used for?

These boards serve a multitude of purposes. Here are some of the most popular local uses:

Gypsum Ceilings

How can ceilings be innovative, you may ask? With professional gypsum work it's now possible! Gypsum ceilings are a great way to implement creative ideas and designs. They can be shaped into a diversity of forms, designed in various styles and painted whatever shade you prefer.

A favourite option you can opt for is false ceilings, sometimes referred to as suspended ceilings or dropped ceilings, which would create a visually appealing 3D effect. Other popular options include stepped ceilings, bulkheads, coving, flat and curved soffit tiles and curved ceilings, which would all add a modern touch to your space. Apart from decorative and aesthetic purposes, these ceilings are also used to hide imperfections in the existing ceiling.

Gypsum walls

Want to make efficient use of the space at hand, however vast or compact it may be? Gypsum walls have the capability to make use of the full potential of a room and contribute to the interior or exterior decor of a space. Here are some of the options you can consider:

Partition walls are gaining popularity locally due to the influx of small apartments which are being constructed in Malta. They are being used as room dividers to define new rooms by dividing existing ones into smaller private spaces and to generate additional storage systems. A sizeable living room may be partitioned to create a spare bedroom, while a main bedroom can be partitioned on one side to develop a walk-in wardrobe. Folding or sliding partitions also exist.

Gypsum wall designs can vary depending on the space you want to produce. You can create gypsum wall units which would provide additional space with shelving and storage systems for your living room or create space for domestic appliances in your kitchen. Your living space can be arranged creatively by inserting feature walls, wall systems with integrated TV and audio systems, drywall linings and curtain walls. Gypsum fireplace surrounds would transform your fireplace into an eye-catching centrepiece, in turn creating a warm ambience.

Gypsum accessories

Gypsum shops also offer a range of accessories which you will need to carry out any required work. From fasteners to plastering material, steel and wooden profiles and panels, you'll find any supplies you need.

Gypsum Shop Services

Apart from gypsum manufacturing, board suppliers may also offer a holistic service to their clients. From on-site consultation, to ceiling and wall designs, manufacturing, lighting system integration, delivery and installation, certain shops will provide a comprehensive service. Some businesses offer free project visualisations to help you make up your mind. They have the expertise to provide you with advice on which solution would best serve your requirements and your expectations.

Although a number of companies may specialise on gypsum works only, there are several turnkey contractors providing gypsum work in conjunction with other interior design solutions and project management.

Gypsum board pricing

Prices are generally handled by quotations. It generally depends on how many boards are needed, and the type of board you need. Specialised boards which are water-resistant would be more expensive. If you'd like a complete service with design and installation included, the gypsum company may provide you with a package price.
