Types of materials used in
false ceiling
False ceilings are categorized
in different types based on the
material, use and appearance
POP False Ceiling Material
POP or Plaster of Paris is the most
commonly used material for false ceilings.
This material is quick-setting and is made of
calcium sulfate hemihydrate, a fine white
power that hardens when moistened and
set aside to dry. It is economical, lasts long
without much wear or tear and is easily
available. POP can be moulded into both
simple or intricate designs making it an
excellent pick for every style as it can be
customised to your taste. Unlike gypsum it
is flexible and can easily be applied in
corners.
Wooden False Ceiling
Materials
Wood is often used in false ceiling designs
to complement POP designs or to add
accents to dull-looking ceilings. Wood can
be a structural part of a design or simply an
aesthetic element. You can also add
finishes like laminates or veneers to give
the false ceiling a richer and luxurious feel.
This material gives you great options to
soundproof your space with the use of
sound absorbent wooden panels.
JAALIs
Jaalis or CNC panels are used in
false ceilings for a decorative spin
to the fifth wall. They come in
intricate patterns, eye-catching
designs such as floral motifs
making it a grand addition to any
space. A popular option among
homeowners is to build it with LED
backlighting.
 METAL
"The future belongs to Though galvanised iron and
aluminium are industrial-looking
those who believe in the
materials, when polished and used
as a false ceiling, they can be a

beauty of their dreams."

visual treat. Needless to say, metal
ceilings are the most durable with
easy installation and low labour cost.
