  • Soundproofing: They can contribute to soundproofing a space by reducing noise from above floors.

Common materials used for false ceilings include:

  • Gypsum: Lightweight and easy to install, gypsum boards are the most popular choice for false ceilings.
  • Plaster of Paris (POP): Used for intricate designs and moldings, POP is another common material.
  • Wood: For a luxurious and warm look, wood false ceilings are used, often in living rooms or bedrooms.
  • PVC: PVC panels are durable, easy to maintain, and water-resistant, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Metal: Metal ceilings are often used in commercial spaces or modern homes for a sleek and industrial look.

Yes, false ceilings can be installed in almost any room, including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. However, the design and material may vary depending on the room’s function and requirements (e.g., moisture-resistant materials for kitchens and bathrooms).

The installation time depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the design. On average, a simple false ceiling installation for a standard-sized room can take 3 to 5 days. However, more intricate designs with additional lighting or moldings may take longer.

False ceilings are generally quite durable if made with high-quality materials and properly installed. Gypsum, POP, and metal false ceilings can last many years without requiring significant maintenance. However, certain materials like wood may require more care to avoid warping or damage due to moisture.

The cost of a false ceiling depends on the material, design complexity, and size of the room. On average, gypsum false ceilings range from ₹50 to ₹150 per square foot, while other materials like wood or metal may be more expensive. At Sai Decors, we provide detailed estimates based on your design and material preferences.

False ceilings require minimal maintenance. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a damp cloth (for materials like PVC and metal) are usually enough. Gypsum and POP ceilings may need a touch-up of paint over time to maintain their appearance
