Gypsum Board Price in UAE 2026: by Type, Size & Brand
Looking for the gypsum board price in the UAE? There is no single price, because the cost of a gypsum board sheet depends on four things: the type of board, its thickness, the sheet size and the brand. A regular 12.5 mm board costs much less than a moisture-resistant, fire-rated or acoustic board of the same size, and a longer 3000 mm sheet costs more than the standard 2400 mm sheet.
This guide explains how each of these changes the price, so you can choose the right board and compare prices correctly. For today's price, open the product page on FEPY: every listing shows the live price per sheet, with and without VAT, and the delivery date.

Quick answer: what decides gypsum board price in the UAE
| Factor | Lower price | Higher price |
|---|---|---|
| Board type | Regular (standard) | Moisture-resistant, fire-rated, acoustic, impact-resistant, cement board |
| Thickness | 12 mm / 12.5 mm | 15 mm and thicker |
| Sheet size | 1200 x 2400 mm | 1200 x 3000 mm |
| Brand and system | Depends on board type (compare like for like) | Depends on board type |
Regular boards generally cost the least. Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and special boards (acoustic, impact-resistant, high-strength and cement boards) cost more, and the exact difference depends on the brand and size.
Gypsum board price by type
Regular gypsum board price
Regular board (usually ivory-faced) is used for internal walls and ceilings in dry rooms such as bedrooms, living rooms and offices. It costs less than the other board types and is the usual choice when the drawing does not ask for moisture, fire or sound performance. Common options on FEPY include Gyproc Regular and Knauf Regular boards in 12 mm and 12.5 mm.
MR (moisture-resistant) gypsum board price
Moisture-resistant boards (green-faced, often marked H1 or H2) are used in bathrooms, kitchens and other humid areas. Because the core and face paper are treated to resist water, the MR gypsum board price is higher than a regular board of the same size. Mould-resistant boards such as Gyproc M2Tech sit above standard MR boards.
Searching for a waterproof gypsum board price? Gypsum boards are moisture-resistant, not fully waterproof. For areas that get very wet, specifications often call for a cement board such as Gyproc Aquaroc instead, which costs more than gypsum boards.
Fire-rated gypsum board price
Fire-rated boards (often pink-faced, sold as Gyproc FireStop or Knauf FR) are used in walls and ceilings that need a fire rating, such as escape routes, shafts and service rooms. The fire rated gypsum board price is higher than regular board of the same brand and size. Some boards combine fire and moisture resistance (such as Gyproc FireStop MR) for fire-rated walls in humid areas. Always order the exact fire-rated board named in the drawing.
Acoustic, impact-resistant and special boards
These boards are used only where the specification asks for them, and they generally cost more than regular boards:
| Board | Used for |
|---|---|
| Gyproc SoundBloc | Sound insulation between rooms (hotels, offices, apartments) |
| Gyproc Duraline | Impact resistance in busy corridors, schools and hospitals |
| Gyproc Habito | Extra-strong walls that need to hold heavy fixings |
| Gyproc CoreBoard | Shaft walls |
| Gyproc GlasRocX | Exterior and very humid areas |
| Gyproc Aquaroc (cement board) | Wet areas and exteriors |
Gypsum board price by size and thickness
12mm gypsum board price vs 12.5 mm and 15 mm
12 mm and 12.5 mm boards are the everyday choice for walls and ceilings, and they cost less per sheet than thicker boards of the same type and brand. 15 mm boards are stronger and give better fire and sound performance, so they cost more. Order the thickness shown in your drawing: a thinner board may not meet the fire or sound rating of the wall.
Sheet size: 1200 x 2400 mm vs 1200 x 3000 mm
The standard gypsum board sheet in the UAE is 1200 x 2400 mm. Longer 1200 x 3000 mm sheets cost more per sheet but reduce joints on tall walls and ceilings, which can save finishing time.
Tip: compare price per square metre, not only per sheet.
| Sheet size | Area per sheet |
|---|---|
| 1200 x 2400 mm | 2.88 m² |
| 1200 x 3000 mm | 3.6 m² |
Divide the sheet price by the area to compare different sizes fairly.
Gypsum board price by brand: Gyproc vs Knauf
FEPY stocks gypsum boards from Gyproc (Saint-Gobain) and Knauf, plus a fire-rated board from Gypsumline. Compare brands only for the same type, thickness and size.
| Gyproc (Saint-Gobain) | Knauf | |
|---|---|---|
| Range on FEPY | Widest: regular, MR (H1/H2), FireStop, FireStop MR, SoundBloc, Duraline, Habito, M2Tech, CoreBoard, Aquaroc, GlasRocX | Regular, moisture-resistant (MRH2) and fire-resistant (FR) |
| Good choice for | Projects that need special boards or one system for everything | Standard regular, MR and FR boards |
| Where to compare the price | Gyproc FireStop and the plasterboards page | Knauf Regular · Knauf MR · Knauf FR |
The Knauf gypsum board price and the Gyproc gypsum board price can each be lower depending on the board type, so check both on the live pages before you order. If your drawing names a brand or system, order that brand: mixing boards and framing from different systems can affect fire and sound ratings.
Gypsum board ceiling price: what else to budget for
The board is only part of the cost of a gypsum wall or false ceiling. When you estimate a gypsum board ceiling price or partition cost, also include:
- Framing: studs, tracks and ceiling channels from GI metal components.
- Fixing and finishing: drywall screws, joint tape, joint compound and corner beads.
- Extra boards for cutting, openings and waste.
- Delivery: FEPY delivers across the UAE, with free delivery on orders above AED 200.
- VAT: product pages show the price both without and with 5% VAT.
