In Greece, the construction sector is currently facing a transition toward energy-efficient materials to combat the intense summer heat. The prevalence of mineral fiber board has increased as architects seek solutions that reduce reliance on heavy air conditioning by improving the thermal envelope of buildings.
With the rise of tourism-driven hotel renovations in Athens and the islands, there is a surging demand for fiber ceiling board that can withstand high humidity levels while providing a luxury aesthetic. The Greek market is shifting away from basic plaster towards specialized non-metallic mineral products.
Furthermore, the adoption of pvc gypsum board is becoming common in coastal regions due to its superior water resistance and ease of installation, addressing the specific challenges of saline air and moisture infiltration common in Mediterranean architecture.
