Colombia's construction sector has grown steadily, driven by housing programs and commercial development in Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena. Drywall (panel yeso) has become the preferred partition solution in modern construction, replacing traditional masonry in many projects. Gypsum ceiling tiles and T-grid systems are standard in office and retail fit-outs.
Colombia uses the international 600×600mm ceiling module. Common board sizes follow regional standards similar to ASTM C1396: 1200×2400mm and 1220×2440mm in 12.5mm thickness for walls, and 9.5mm for ceilings. NTC (Norma Técnica Colombiana) standards apply to fire-rated and moisture-resistant boards. High demand exists for moisture-proof green board in coastal and tropical regions.
Colombia is served by both Atlantic (Cartagena, Barranquilla) and Pacific (Buenaventura) ports. Direct sailings from China to Cartagena typically take 35-45 days. Container loading efficiency matters: a 40HQ can carry approximately 5,500-6,500 SQM of 12.5mm gypsum board.
We supply standard, moisture-proof, and fire-rated gypsum boards meeting ASTM C1396 and EN 520. Our export documentation includes full test reports required for Colombian customs clearance. Contact us for CIF Cartagena quotes.
