Creating a gypsum ceiling can add a sophisticated touch to your home or office space. Here’s a general price list for gypsum ceiling materials, though prices can vary based on location, quality and supplier:

Gypsum Boards: These are the primary materials used for the ceiling. The price typically ranges from Ksh500 to 2900 per 4×8 foot sheet, depending on the thickness, type and brand.

Metal Framework: To support the gypsum boards, you’ll need a metal framework. Prices for metal studs and tracks usually range from Ksh140 to Ksh250 per 2.5m.

Drywall Screws: Essential for attaching the gypsum boards to the metal framework. A box of 1,000 screws costs Ksh350 to Ksh800 depending with quality

Joint Compound: This is used to fill the gaps and seams between gypsum boards. A 25Kg bag typically costs between 1200 and 1900 depending with quality and drying time.

Joint Tape: To reinforce seams, a roll of joint tape costs approximately Ksh150 to Ksh350 depending with size.

Corner Beads: For finishing the edges and corners, these usually range from 100 to 250 per 8-foot piece.

Primer and Paint: Once the ceiling is installed, it will need to be primed and painted. A 20L of primer costs around Ksh3800 to Ksh4500, and finishing paint can range from Ksh 10000 to Ksh 12000 per 20Litres, depending on the quality.

Labor Costs: If you’re hiring professionals, labor costs can significantly vary but generally range from 500 to 1100 per square metre depending with professionalism, finishing and quantity of work
