"Ceiling" is a significant part of Interior Design
What is false ceiling?
A false ceiling is a type of artificial ceiling that hangs below the main ceiling. After the main ceiling, the false ceiling acts as a lateral layer of the roof. False ceilings essentially control noise, fire, temperature changes and temperature effects.
At present, the use of false ceiling in residential, office, hospital, restaurant, showroom or basement is more. False ceiling is also known as drop ceiling or suspended ceiling. The height of the false ceiling is usually 7 feet to 9 feet.
False ceilings not only look beautiful and attractive, but false ceilings absorb sound in a room and help maintain temperature balance.
How many types of false ceiling and what is it?
There are many different types of false ceilings based on their materials. For example:
1. Gypsum false ceiling (Gypsum False ceiling)
2.Plaster of Paris false ceiling (POP False ceiling)
3. Wooden false ceiling
4. Glass false ceiling (Glass False ceiling)
5. PVC false ceiling
6. Metal false ceiling
7. Fiber Tiles False Ceiling
8.Fabric False Ceiling
Ideas about different types of false ceilings
1.Gypsum false ceiling
Gypsum false ceilings are made from gypsum. Gypsum false ceiling is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. This type of false ceiling is very popular in both residential and commercial spaces. This type of false ceiling is known for its smooth finish and white, matte appearance. This type of false ceiling can be easily made in various shapes and designs.
Gypsum false ceiling can absorb sound very well, making it an important material for areas where soundproofing is required. Gypsum false ceiling is also fire resistant, which ensures the safety of the buildingGypsum false ceilings are available in multiple shades including brown, white, red, yellow and gray.
Gypsum is one of the least expensive materials for false ceilings. Gypsum false ceiling boards are generally available in the market in 4 x 6 ft, 4 x 8 ft, 4 x 10 ft sizes and their thickness is 9, 12, 15 mm. Gypsum false ceilings cost Rs 75 to 85 per square feet. It costs around 7,500 to 8,500 taka for a 10 x 10 room.
2.Plaster of Paris false ceiling
The full name of POP false ceiling is Plaster of Paris (Plaster of Paris), which is made from calcium sulfate hemihydratepOP false ceiling is a very durable and long-lasting material. This type of false ceiling helps to maintain the temperature balance of the room by absorbing heat or cold.
A false ceiling material for both residential and commercial spaces is Plaster of Paris (POP)Plaster of Paris is mixed with water to form a paste, which creates a smooth and flat surface and is applied to the structure of the roof layers of various buildings. Plaster of Paris (POP) false ceilings are more attractive in combination with wood and glass.
This type of false ceiling is very expensive. It costs around Rs 15,000 for a 10 x 10 room. Plaster of Paris (POP) is prone to cracking and chipping over time. If properly maintained, POP false ceiling can last for 15-20 years.

Fiber tiles ceilings are effective in reducing noise in commercial buildings. These types of ceilings are available at low cost. But in residential areas, this type of false ceiling is not used. Because this type of false ceiling is not very attractive in design.
7. Fabric false ceiling
Fabric false ceilings are made from lightweight fabric material over a metal frame. This type of false ceiling is popular in areas where sound insulation is requiredThe advantage of fabric false ceilings is that they can be easily customized with different colors, textures and patterns to create attractive designs. Also, the fabric material provides good sound absorption and helps reduce noise levels. This type of false ceiling is easy to clean and maintain.
Fabric false ceilings are less durable and relatively expensive than other ceilings. Because its repair cost and maintenance cost is relatively high. Fabric false ceiling price per square feet is 300 to 650 rupees.
8. Purpose of using false ceiling

Various connection lines of the roof such as electrical cables, lighting system, AC connection system, etc. are used for hidden purposes. There is no substitute for false ceiling to increase the light brightness of a house. The main purpose of false ceiling is to reduce the noise level and maintain the temperature balance of a roomAlso one of the purposes of false ceiling is to make a room aesthetic and attractive by covering the cracks, stains and other defects of the main ceiling.
