False ceilings are constructed below the main ceiling and help hide ducts, wiring, and other elements. There are various types of false ceilings including POP, gypsum board, wooden, PVC, metal, glass, fiber, and fabric/synthetic materials. Each type has advantages like easy installation, insulation, and durability as well as disadvantages like moisture issues, maintenance needs, and costs. False ceilings improve interior aesthetics, organization, insulation, and more.

2. INTRODUCTION
● There are two types of ceilings, primary and secondary ceilings. The primary
ceiling is a roof structure and the secondary ceiling is a false ceiling.
