Gypsum Vs Brick in the Interior
🧱 Beyond the Brick: Why Sunnyland Uses Double Gypsum Boards for Interior Partitions.
Luxury Is Found in the Invisible Details
In luxury residences, every material choice matters — not only for appearance but also for how it affects comfort, aesthetics, and long-term durability.
While brick may be seen as a “classic” option, it no longer aligns with the standards of modern luxury. At Sunnyland, we choose high-performance double-layer gypsum board systems — not for cost savings, but because they deliver exceptional design flexibility, acoustic comfort, safety, and precision — just as seen in top-tier developments across Switzerland, London, and Dubai.

- Not Just Gypsum Board — KNAUF & Rigips Systems
At the Aetheria project (18 Dilou St., Voula), all interior partitions are constructed with certified dry-wall systems such as KNAUF W112 and Rigips by Saint-Gobain.
These consist of double water-resistant gypsum boards with an internal layer of mineral wool for acoustic insulation. This is a premium solution used internationally in five-star hotels and high-end residences, selected for projects with the highest performance demands.

- Full Design Freedom
Gypsum boards allow for curved surfaces, integrated lighting features, and flawless finishes.
By contrast, brick construction restricts creativity and often results in irregularities — especially in open-plan interior spaces.

- Superior Acoustic Performance Where It Matters
The combination of double layers and mineral wool delivers soundproofing that outperforms traditional brickwork.
This makes a difference in everyday life:
- Bedrooms remain quiet.
- Workspaces function without outside disturbance.
- Every room offers true privacy — a fundamental quality in high-end living.

- Safety, Durability & Smart Integration
- Water-resistant boards protect against moisture and mold.
- The system meets strict fire safety standards.
- It simplifies the integration of smart home systems, lighting, and cabling — without the need for chiseling or damaging the surfaces.

- The Right Choice for Every Application
Bricks — and particularly orthoblock systems — are an excellent solution for exterior walls, offering insulation, acoustic performance, and structural solidity.
However, for interior partitions, we choose double gypsum board systems to maximize flexibility and simplify future modifications.
Drywall construction provides precision, cleanliness, and the ability to easily adapt to new needs or technological upgrades.

- Faster, Cleaner & More Sustainable Construction
Gypsum board systems significantly reduce construction time, minimize dust and site waste, and improve thermal insulation.
It’s a sustainable technology — with a lower carbon footprint and better energy performance than conventional methods.

Smart Construction Is the New Luxury
Luxury today is not just about finishes — it’s about the technical choices that shape the everyday experience.
Sunnyland invests in materials that perform to the highest standard — such as KNAUF and Rigips by Saint-Gobain — to build homes that are quiet, healthy, safe, and visually seamless.
For external walls, we use a robust orthoblock masonry system. For interiors, we apply double gypsum boards to maximize flexibility, precision, and performance.
Modern luxury is not defined by heaviness — but by intelligent, efficient, and aesthetically refined solutions. Just like every Sunnyland home.
