1. Designer look for your home: A style statement that reflects your personality.
2. Elegant and smooth finish: No waviness and unevenness that you would get with plastered surfaces.
3. Lighting options: False ceilings can truly light up your home by opening up options such as spot lighting (white lights for reading) and mood or diffused lighting (for parties or a relaxed atmosphere).
4. Concealed wiring: Wiring for overhead fixtures like fans, lights, air-conditioners can be easily routed between the false ceiling and the soffit. This eliminates the need for a tangle of wires on your ceiling and enhances the look of your home.
1. Energy efficiency: False ceilings reduce the air volume of a room. This results in reduction of the air-conditioning load. So, you end up paying lower power bills.
2. Thermal insulation: Top-floor apartments or independent houses, where the terrace above the ceiling is exposed to the sun, can get uncomfortably hot in summers. False ceilings provide thermal insulation by creating an air gap between the soffit and the false ceiling.This makes the room much cooler.
3. Sound insulation: In apartment complexes a common problem is the sound coming from the apartments above. A false ceiling reduces this sound by providing an insulating surface between your home and the one above.

Gyproc is a part of the Saint-Gobain group, a 350-year-old company which is the world leader in providing solutions for false ceilings and drywalls. Gyproc has a countrywide sales and distribution network and offers the following:
POP false ceilings are made mainly of POP powder applied on a chicken net to provide mechanical strength. The whole process is not just time consuming, but also very dusty and crude. The powder needs to be mixed with water on site and then applied on the chicken mesh attached to local metal framing systems. It is then treated and dried. The whole process causes a lot of wastage. Such a process could take as long as one month.
Gypsum plasterboard false ceilings use a sheet of gypsum board which is screwed into the metal framing connected to the soffit. Joints are very few as the plasterboard comes in large sheets and is then finished using specialist jointing compounds. It’s a very fast, clean, efficient and healthy process with very little dust and mess involved. Gypsum plasterboards offer great flexibility and versatility in design and are the product of choice for false ceilings across the world.
A false ceiling using gypsum plasterboard is very easy to do and will take approximately 1-2 weeks to execute depending on the complexity of the design. So a false ceiling can be done in as much time as it takes to get your home painted.
A false ceiling usually lasts as long as the life of the building interior unless any of the systems are physically damaged or abused.
Maintaining the beauty of a false ceiling is an easy and a hassle free process and is similar to the maintenance of any plastered surface. You don’t require any special maintenance and any dust that gets accumulated can be cleaned away the same way you would clean your existing home interiors.
The metal framing is the spine of a false ceiling and is what holds it together. The strength and life of the false ceiling depends entirely on the quality of the metal components used to make this metal framing. Even though this part is never visible, it is the key element of the structure. Any compromise on the metal components can affect the life, aesthetics and the integrity of the ceiling. Always use a Gyproc manufactured and branded Gypsteel ULTRA® metal framing with original Gyproc accessories.
False ceilings using gypsum plasterboard can be finished using any type of paint, wallpaper or laminate. The major advantage of a gypsum plasterboard false ceiling over a conventional plastered finish is that since it is a machine-finished surface, you can get a seamless, smooth and undulation-free finish. This means you can even colour your ceilings using the high-end white colour paints you would normally use for your walls.
There are many different kinds of gypsum plasterboards available from Gyproc. The product that is typically recommended for high-moisture areas (like coastal cities with high humidity or bathrooms and kitchens) is the Gyproc MR (Moisture Resistant) plasterboard. This has superior moisture absorption properties.
