• Moisture-resistant boards – for bathrooms and kitchens
• Feature ceilings – wood slats, coffers and curved designs for receptions and living rooms
• Acoustic ceilings – for meeting rooms, restaurants and open offices

False Ceilings for Homes and Businesses

• Villas and apartments – living rooms, bedrooms, majlis and kitchens with cove lighting and spotlights
• Offices – grid or gypsum ceilings coordinated with AC, lighting, data and fire systems
• Shops, salons and showrooms – feature ceilings and lighting that make products stand out
• Restaurants and cafes – acoustic and design ceilings that hide services and control noise

Planning a Ceiling the Right Way

Before installing, we coordinate the ceiling with AC diffusers, lights, speakers, smoke detectors, sprinklers and access panels. This avoids cutting the finished ceiling later and keeps maintenance easy. We use galvanised steel framing and quality gypsum boards with proper joint tape, so the ceiling stays flat and crack-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a false ceiling cost in Dubai?

False ceilings are priced per square metre. The cost depends on the type (gypsum board or 600×600 grid tiles), design details like cove lighting, bulkheads and pelmets, moisture-resistant boards, painting and site access. We give a fixed quotation after a free site visit.

How long does a gypsum ceiling take to install?

A typical apartment room takes 1 to 3 days including framing, boarding, joint finishing and painting. A full villa or office usually takes 1 to 3 weeks.

Gypsum ceiling or grid ceiling – which is better?

Gypsum board gives a smooth seamless finish for homes, shops and receptions. Grid ceiling tiles are cheaper and give easy access to AC and cables, so they are popular in offices, clinics and warehouses.

Can you fix a cracked or water-damaged ceiling?

Yes. We repair cracks, sagging boards and water damage, replace damaged sections and repaint so the repair blends in with the existing ceiling.

Do I need approval for a false ceiling in Dubai?

Many buildings need landlord or community approval, and changes to sprinklers or smoke detectors may need Civil Defence approval. Al Sahm prepares the drawings and handles the approvals.

Which areas do you cover?

We install false ceilings across Dubai including Business Bay, Downtown, JLT, Dubai Marina, Deira, Bur Dubai, Al Barsha, JVC, Arabian Ranches and Mirdif, and also in Sharjah and Ajman.
