Gypsum Ceiling Work

False Ceiling (Drop Ceiling):

• Suspended from the main ceiling using metal or wooden framing.

• Used to conceal wiring, pipes, AC ducts, or lighting fixtures.

• Can be flat or layered (multi-level).

POP vs Gypsum:

• Gypsum boards are factory-made, pre-sized, and quicker to install than traditional POP (Plaster of Paris).

• Gypsum is more uniform, less prone to cracks, and generates less mess.

Designer Ceilings:

• Can include curves, recessed lighting (cove lights), layered effects, and 3D features.

• Often combined with LED strip lighting, spotlights, or chandeliers.

Coffered Ceilings:

• A grid of sunken panels for a luxurious and dramatic look.

• Usually in living rooms or formal areas.

Frame Construction:

• Metal channels (like GI sections) or wooden frames are installed as the ceiling’s skeleton.

Board Fixing:

• Gypsum boards (typically 12mm thick) are screwed into the frame.

Joint Treatment:

• Joints and screw holes are filled with jointing compound and tape.
