WHAT IS POP?

PLASTER OF PARIS IS MADE BY HEATING THE MINERAL GYPSUM.

LARGE DEPOSITS WERE ORIGINALLY FOUND OUTSIDE OF PARIS
IN FRANCE HENCE ITS NAME.
WHEN GYPSUM IS HEATED TO ABOUT 150C, IT LOSSES WATER
AND PRODUCES THE POWDER, PLASTER OF PARIS.

HOW TO INSTALL POP CEILING?

Mark the area of the false ceiling on the soffit

(main ceiling) with points at distances of 4 feet
each. Drill a 12mm hole at each of these points.
Mark points on the walls at the height where the
false ceiling will be suspended below the main
ceiling.

Affix a rawl plug in each hole and fix a soffit cleat

through the rawl plug. Fix a metal ceiling angle
strip to the soffit cleat. These installations (at
each point) become the anchor points of the false
ceiling.

Fix a perimeter channel on the walls at the height

where the false ceiling will be suspended below the
main ceiling. This acts as the frame for the false
ceiling.
Connect the free ends of the metal ceiling angle
strips to the perimeter channel using intermediate
channels with metal-to-metal screws. This
completes the fixed part of the false ceiling, which
anchors the suspended false ceiling.

Snug-fit the ceiling sections to the perimeter

channel, perpendicular to the intermediate
channels, at distances of 1.5 feet each. These
form the skeletal frame for attaching
plasterboards.
Connect ceiling sections to the intermediate
channels using a connecting clip. This offers a
strong and flexible joint, facilitating easy
installation of plasterboards.

Fix plasterboards of the desired thickness to the

ceiling sections with drywall screws. Fix boards in
a staggered layout so that joints do not appear in
continuous straight lines. This reduces the
possibilities of cracks in the future.
