In the rapidly developing construction markets of Kenya and Ethiopia, PVC Gypsum Ceiling Tiles have become the industry standard for commercial and residential interiors. Here is a breakdown of the essential technical knowledge for distributors and contractors.

1. The 3-Layer Protection System

A high-quality PVC gypsum tile is a composite material designed for durability:

Surface: Embossed PVC Film (Protects against scratches and provides the aesthetic finish).

Core: High-Density Gypsum (Provides structural strength and fire resistance).

Backing: Aluminum Foil (The critical "Vapor Barrier" that reflects heat and prevents moisture from entering the core).

2. Solving the "Sagging" Problem

In humid areas like Mombasa or during the rainy seasons in Addis Ababa, standard boards often sag.

The Solution: Premium tiles use RH99 (Relative Humidity) rated materials.

Tech Tip: Ensure your tiles have a minimum of 0.07mm PVC film and well-bonded aluminum foil to create a 100% moisture seal.

3. Standard Export Specifications

Size: 595x595mm (600x600mm) or 603x603mm.
