At Fitout | Renovation Dubai, gypsum works Dubai homeowners and businesses rely on is what we do day in, day out. From sleek false ceilings and cove-lit bulkheads to decorative cornices, fire-rated partitions and full feature walls, our skilled gypsum teams turn flat, lifeless interiors into spaces that feel finished, modern and unmistakably premium. We deliver complete gypsum solutions for apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions, as well as offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare and every other commercial sector — right across Dubai and all seven emirates of the UAE.
Quick Answer Gypsum works cover everything made from gypsum board and plaster inside your space: false ceilings, partitions, feature walls, cove lighting, cornices, niches and decorative panels. In Dubai, professionally installed gypsum work typically costs AED 70–220 per m² depending on design, board type and finish. Fitout | Renovation Dubai handles design, supply, installation, painting and aftercare under one roof, with a free site visit anywhere in the UAE.
Whether you want a single room refreshed or a whole property fitted out, you are dealing with one accountable team — not a chain of subcontractors. That means cleaner edges, faster timelines and a finish that still looks crisp years later in Dubai’s heat and humidity.
Gypsum is the quiet workhorse behind almost every beautiful interior in the UAE. It is lightweight, fire-resistant, easy to shape and quick to install — which is exactly why designers reach for it when they want clean lines, hidden lighting and a flawless painted surface. In a city that loves layered ceilings, concealed LED glows and statement walls, gypsum is what makes those details possible.
From a cosy apartment in Dubai Marina to a grand mansion in Emirates Hills, our residential gypsum services are tailored to how you actually live. Here is the full range we install, repair and refurbish.
Ceilings are where gypsum truly shines. We design and install new false ceilings, suspended and flat gypsum ceilings, drop ceilings and the more dramatic statement styles that define luxury Dubai homes.
We also handle ceiling renovation and refurbishment — redesigns, extensions, water-damaged ceiling restoration, crack and patch repairs, cove lighting upgrades and full repainting.
Need an extra bedroom, a home office, a walk-in wardrobe or a quiet study? Gypsum partitions create new rooms in days, not weeks, without the weight or mess of blockwork.
We also relocate, modify, extend, repair and upgrade existing partitions — including acoustic and fire-rated upgrades to meet current standards.
A feature wall is the fastest way to give a room personality. We craft TV walls, accent walls, fireplace and headboard features, plus the textured looks that are everywhere in modern Dubai interiors.
Niches add depth, display space and a designer touch to hallways, bedrooms and entrances. We build display, TV, decorative, shelf and LED-lit niches — and refurbish, modify or add lighting to existing ones.
For homes that lean classical or Arabesque, decorative gypsum is the finishing flourish.
We build gypsum shelves, display and library shelving, floating shelves and TV shelving, plus staircase feature walls, staircase bulkheads, lighting details and clever under-stair gypsum works that reclaim wasted space.
Commercial interiors carry extra demands — fire compliance, acoustics, hygiene, branding and tight handover deadlines. Our commercial gypsum teams deliver across all of them, sector by sector.

Some jobs call for engineered performance, not just good looks. These are the specialist systems we install to code across the UAE.
Fire-rated partitions, ceilings, shaft walls, bulkheads and enclosures built to UAE Civil Defence requirements — plus compliance upgrades and re-certification of existing systems.
Acoustic ceilings, partitions and wall linings, soundproof rooms and cinema acoustic systems that genuinely reduce noise transfer between spaces.
MR board ceilings for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, spas and pool areas that resist Dubai’s humidity — plus moisture-damage repairs and replacement.
CNC gypsum panels, Islamic and Arabic gypsum carvings, classical moldings, contemporary geometric and 3D wall panels, decorative arches and domes — and sensitive heritage restoration of period detail.
Not every project is brand new. We fix cracks, surface and joint damage, water and impact damage, sagging ceilings and failing partitions — then restore decorative elements, cornices, ceilings and walls to look better than before. Ongoing refurbishment includes ceiling redesign, partition modification, wall modernization and lighting, acoustic or fire-rated upgrades.
The right board makes all the difference in the UAE climate. We specify and install the full range:
Every surface is finished with multiple coats of joint compound, sanded smooth and painted to a flawless, paint-ready standard.
We source from established, project-proven brands and distributors so you get certified, consistent materials — not unknown stock that cracks or yellows. Trusted names in the Dubai market include:
| Brand / Supplier | Known For |

Every piece is different, so the most accurate price always comes from a free site visit. As a guide, here are typical market ranges for professional furniture painting and repainting in Dubai. Final pricing depends on size, condition, finish type (PU, Duco, polyester, etc.), number of colours and on-site versus workshop work.

A good gypsum finish is 50% craftsmanship and 50% process. Here is how a typical project runs with us:
Dubai Municipality for fit-out and building standards, and • Dubai Civil Defence for fire-rated ceiling and partition compliance. This matters at inspection time — and again when you sell or lease the property.
Gypsum & Partitions
Most gypsum works in Dubai range from AED 70 to AED 220 per square meter. Flat false ceilings sit at the lower end; multi-level, cove-lit or decorative designs and fire-rated/moisture-resistant systems cost more. Cornices are typically priced per linear meter. We provide a free, itemized quote after a site visit.
A single room is usually 2–4 days including boarding, finishing and painting. Larger or multi-level designs with cove lighting take longer. We confirm a realistic timeline in your quotation and stick to it.
Moisture-resistant (MR) board is the right choice for wet areas, as it resists humidity and mold far better than standard board. For areas needing fire protection, we use fire-rated (FR) board to meet Civil Defence requirements.
Yes — it’s one of our most requested features. We build cove channels, LED troughs, recessed boxes and backlit details, and coordinate the wiring so the lighting is hidden and clean.
We build to UAE building codes and Civil Defence standards and coordinate the necessary fit-out approvals and permits where they apply, so your project passes inspection without delays.
