PoP & False Ceiling
False ceilings are becoming popular in Indian homes because they enhance interior aesthetics and provide additional functional benefits such as heat insulation and wiring concealment. Several types of false ceilings are commonly used in India including POP (Plaster of Paris), gypsum board, wood, PVC, and glass ceilings. POP ceilings are most popular and are known for their smooth finish and are widely used for creating intricate designs. Gypsum board ceilings are durable, quick to install and provide good thermal insulation. Wooden false ceilings add a warm, premium touch while PVC false ceilings are durable and resistant to moisture.
POP ceilings generally cost between Rs 70 to Rs 120 per square feet while gypsum board ceilings range from Rs 80 to Rs 150 per square feet. Wood and glass ceilings cost more and usually range between Rs 200 to Rs 400 per square feet.
