The document discusses different types of materials used for false ceilings, including gypsum board, POP (Plaster of Paris), acrylic, PVC, wood, and metals. It provides details on gypsum board, including common thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 20mm. It also lists advantages of gypsum board like its smooth surface and ease of installation. The document then covers POP sheets, including their size, preparation process, and rates. It provides a comparison of POP and gypsum board. Finally, it discusses different wood ceiling options and methods for installing suspended ceilings made of materials like steel and aluminum.
9. Advantages of gypsum board
Smooth surface Its surface
is smooth and hence any type
of inferior finish such as
painting ,veneering ,wall
plastering etc can be easily
carried out .
Time of installation Offers
scope of better planning and
greater control over
construction schedule.
Final finish Its unique
tapered edges makes it
possible to join boards and
provide a good finishing to
the ceiling
14. Facts about POP.
• As tough as POP is when dry, it is still soft to be sanded and carved.
• Used majorly to create decorative molding. POP hardens instantly when
water is added to it.
• It is applied to form fiber board or a wood base, which is then suspended
from the ceiling.
