Ceilings


Ceilings are most important part of any ones property whether it’s your house, commercial spaces. It's your sky which you can choose or decorate as per individuals needs and choice.

Basically the ceilings are made of below material type :

Gypsum Board
Gypsum board is the generic name for a family of panel-type products consisting of a noncombustible core, primarily composed of gypsum, with a paper surfacing on the face, back, and long edges.
Gypsum is a mineral found in sedimentary rock formations in a crystalline form known as calcium sulfate dehydrate. One hundred pounds of gypsum rock contains approximately 21 pounds (or 10 quarts) of chemically combined water. Gypsum rock is mined or quarried and then crushed. In a process called calcining, the crushed rock is ground into a fine powder and heated to about 350 degrees F, driving off three fourths of the chemically combined water. The calcined gypsum (or hemihydrate) becomes the base for gypsum plaster, gypsum board and other gypsum products.
  • Fire Resistive
  • Sound Attenuating
  • Durable
  • Economical
  • Versatile

POP
Plaster of Paris, quick-setting gypsum plaster consisting of a fine white powder (calcium sulfate hemihydrate), which hardens when moistened and allowed to dry. Known since ancient times, plaster of Paris is so called because of its preparation from the abundant gypsum found near Paris.
Plaster of Paris does not generally shrink or crack when dry, making it an excellent medium for casting molds. It is commonly used to precast and hold parts of ornamental plasterwork placed on ceilings and cornices. It is also used in medicine to make plaster casts to immobilize broken bones while they heal, though many modern orthopedic casts are made of fiberglass or thermoplastics
Glass
Transparent glass is never used, as it contradict the idea of false ceiling but to hide any defects and irregularities of work e.g. plumbing, wiring etc. the frosted glass can be used.
The back painted stained glass, mirrors etc. are the other options which can be used to decorate your ceilings.

Acrylic
Acrylic is a kind of plastic, fabric, fiber, or paint that's made from acrylic acid. Anything made of acrylic is synthetic — it's not a natural substance or fiber, but was made in a lab or factory from artificial materials. Acrylic paint is a quick-drying, water-soluble kind of paint.

PVC
PVC means Polyvinyl Chloride, it’s a synthetic plastic polymer.  PVC has hollow inner structure, lightweight and used to decor interior walls, ceilings etc. It is also easy to install and requires less maintenance also available within your budget. 

Cement Fiber
Fiber cement boards are made up of cement and cellulose fibers (plant extracts), generally it used to cover the exterior of a building in both commercial and domestic applications.

Wood

Wood is traditional option always being used since long time. In early days due to availability of wooden it can be seen in all designs at palaces, mansions etc. Almost all Wada's type houses can be seen wooden ceilings. In modern days we can see wide range of wooden type ceilings.

Acoustical
When attached directly to a ceiling or when used as a drop ceiling, acoustic ceiling panels and sound absorbing drop ceiling tiles provide effective noise control.

Metals
Metal ceiling also improves acoustic and visual appearance of rooms and corridors. These type of ceiling can be used for sound and fire protection.
