Description
A false ceiling, also known as a dropped or suspended ceiling, is a secondary ceiling that is installed below the main structural ceiling. False ceilings can be made from a variety of materials, including gypsum, plaster of Paris (POP), wood, metal, and PVC. They can be used to: Hide wiring, pipes, and ductwork: False ceilings can provide a cleaner look and make maintenance easier. Improve room temperature: By reducing the air volume, false ceilings can help maintain room temperature and increase HVAC efficiency. Reduce energy bills: Since false ceilings reduce the space to cool or heat, they can lead to lower energy bills. Improve sound insulation: Some types of false ceilings offer sound insulation, making your home quieter. Add lighting options: False ceilings can help you add multiple light options to your room without cluttering the interior design. Create a smooth and attractive finish: False ceilings can provide a smooth and attractive finish. Create a curved or sloped transition: A coved false ceiling can create a curved or sloped transition between the walls and ceiling. The average lifespan of a grid false ceiling can range from 10 to 20 years, depending on various factors such as the quality of materials used, installation techniques, and regular maintenance.
