The construction sector in Egypt faces unique challenges due to extreme temperature fluctuations and high solar radiation. Traditional ceiling materials often suffer from thermal expansion and moisture absorption, leading to sagging or cracking. Consequently, there is a surging demand for mineral fiber board that offers superior thermal stability and fire resistance.
In urban centers like Cairo and Alexandria, the rapid expansion of commercial office spaces has shifted the preference toward fiber ceiling board systems. These materials are favored for their ability to reduce HVAC energy consumption by providing an effective thermal barrier against the intense North African sun.
Furthermore, the Egyptian market is seeing a transition from basic plaster to pvc gypsum board in residential projects, blending the aesthetic flexibility of gypsum with the moisture resistance of PVC to combat the humidity of coastal regions.
