 POP FALSE CEILING
The POP full form is plaster of Paris and it is
nothing but gypsum. POP is one of the popular false
ceiling materials used to design the ceiling
area. This material is available in powder form in
the market which can be used to make a paste and
applied on wooden board and fiberboard with
desired shape and design.
POP material is highly durable and provides good
insulation again cold and heat in the room. The false
ceiling made from POP looks very appealing
and attractive after proper lighting and paintwork.
Pros:
•POP ceiling is 20-30% cheaper compare
to Gypsum board ceiling.
•It is highly durable material with minimum
wear and tear during life period.
•They can be easily molded in any shape.
Cons:
•POP material need high skill to use and
apply to ceiling to give desired shape and
design
•The extra quantity of POP is required to
prepare because there is not possible
to calculate exact quantity.
•It created messy place where it is used.

 PROCESS
Step 1 ❖ FIXING THE FRAMEWORK DIRECTLY TO THE
BEAMS ORPLATER CEILING.
❖ Fixing a aluminum or wooden framework to act a
supporting structure directly
to the existing ceiling or roofing beams.
❖ Wooden supports with a spacing of 40 cm.
Step 2 ❖ Fixing a suspended framework to a plasterd
ceiling.
❖ Screw the supports to the existing ceiling using screws
and plugs.
❖ Fix the supports at the same height..
Step 3 ❖ Fixing vertical struts to the support
❖ Decide on the height of the new ceiling.
❖ Measure the desired height from the floor and make it
off the 4 corners.
❖ Fix the struts with a spacing of 60 cm.
Step 4 ❖ Fixing the wall supports and framework
members.
Step 5 ❖ Apply the insulation ❖ The insulations panels are
then fitted over the framework members.
Step 6 ❖ Fix the first row of ceiling panels.
❖ Screw the first ceiling panel to the left side against the
wall, using 25mm plasterboard screws
with a spacing between srews of 20 cm.
❖ An 8 mm expansion gap between the panel and wall.
❖ This gap is later covered with a finishing strip.
Step 7 ❖ Cutting panels to length. ❖ At the end of the row ,
Measure the required Length and mark this.
Step 8 ❖ Finishing the joints. ❖ Make sure the joints are
clean and dust free.
❖ Fill the gap with grouting paste and a putty knife.
❖ Drying for 24 hours, apply the second layer if necessary
and sand smooth after drying.
Step 9 ❖ Edging profile. ❖ For a neat finish in the corners,
cut the ends of the finishing strips at 45 degree

GLASS FALSE CEILING
Glass is a good material to work with for adding beauty to false
ceiling designs. Glass is a non-crystalline transparent and brittle
material. However, they can be made non-brittle and non-
transparent by using suitable additives.
Step 1: Fixing the framework directly to the beams or
plaster ceiling.
Step 2: Fixing suspended framework to a plastered ceiling.
Step 3: Fixing vertical struts to support.
Step 4: Fix a play on that frame structure.
Advantages:
• i) Glass ceiling gives a eye catching look to the
room interior.
• iii) Glass is a good heat insulator too.
• iv) colouring, laminating and pattering is
possible.
Disadvantages:
• i) Glass should be handled with care during
installation. Requires skilled workers.
• ii) Dust and dirt are easily visible on the glass.
Requires proper maintenance and regular
cleaning.
• iii) The transparent nature of glass can be
utilized to make a small space look bigger
• iv) Very expensive.
Uses:
• Jwellery shops, resorts, libraries, book store
etc.

 How is False Ceiling Cost Calculated?
Multiple factors are involved while calculating the cost of false ceiling per sq.ft. These include:

•Design: More complex the design of the false ceiling, the costlier it gets.
•Size: The price is low for a larger ceiling area as the materials required can be purchased at wholesale
prices in bulk.
•Quality: If you go for high-quality materials, it is pricier. But as high-quality materials are durable, it has a
higher return on investment (ROI).
•Availability: If the materials you are using are easily available in the market, transportation and logistic
costs can be cut.
•Additional cost: This includes the cost of finishes, fittings, cutting, lighting, accents etc.
