Is an aluminum ceiling better than gypsum in humid areas?

In humid coastal areas such as those in Qatar or along the Red Sea coast, an aluminum ceiling is unequivocally superior to gypsum. Gypsum board is inherently porous and highly susceptible to moisture absorption. In persistently humid conditions, this leads to a host of problems, including sagging, staining, and, most critically, the development of mold and mildew, which can pose health risks. In contrast, aluminum is a non-porous material that is naturally impervious to moisture. It will not absorb water, swell, or deteriorate when exposed to high humidity levels. This inherent resistance makes our aluminum ceilings the perfect solution for bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pool enclosures, and buildings in coastal regions. They prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, ensuring a healthier indoor environment and a much longer lifespan without the need for frequent repairs or replacement that are common with gypsum in such climates.
