Introduction

 A dropped ceiling or secondary ceiling ,hung below the main (structural)

ceiling is called a false ceiling.
 The false ceiling was originally developed to conceal the underside of the
floor above and offer acoustic balance and control in a room .
 Due to versatile nature and other important features false ceiling has
become an indispensable feature for every commercial place.
 Most of materials is easily cut to allow fixtures in other shapes, like wood,
metal, plastic, gypsum, pop, mineral fiberboards.
Uses of False ceiling
1) EASY ACCESS TO HOME SYSTEMS 2) SOUNDPROOFING
 The plumbing, wiring, TV and Suspended ceilings offer
networking cables, and other superior acoustic
mechanical systems can be properties to absorb
easily hidden by a suspended sound, so surrounding
ceiling. rooms are quieter.
 Yet remain accessible for
repairs.
 Suspended ceilings in a home
theatre solve the problem of
where to nest multiple cables
and power cords.
Uses of False ceiling

3) ENERGY EFFICIENCY: 4) FIRE SAFETY:

 The insulating effect of • False ceiling panels
suspended ceiling panels and tiles are fire retardant
may help lower home and meet industry standards
heating or cooling bills. for flame-spread ratings.
 In addition, the highly
reflective surface of white
panels creates a brighter
space, optimizing light
reflection and reducing the
need for additional lighting.
Advantages of False Ceiling

 A ceiling helps cool the room.

 When the height of the room is too much, providing a ceiling helps to
reduce the height.
 Reducing the height also helps in reducing the capacity of the air
conditioner
 Covering the upper area also has the multiple advantages such
concealing the wiring, lighting fixtures, air-conditioning ducts, security
cameras, and other fixtures.
 The ceiling also acts as an attractive base for all kinds of decorative electric
lights and fans.
 A ceiling helps eliminate echo in the room. In bathroom, ceilings can be
provided to hide the pipes or any other fittings above.
Disadvantages of False ceiling

 Reduced headroom , as the minimum clearance for ductwork is 4 to 8 inch

thus headroom space is less.
 The most worrying aspect of having a false ceiling would be pests. They
can get through into the space between and can start their own breeding
which might lead to a lot of trouble.
 Also be careful while putting up decorations or hangings while you have a
false ceiling in place. Make sure you know the strength and durability.
Types of Material for False Ceiling

 Plaster of Paris ceiling.

 Gypsum ceiling.
 Wooden ceiling.
Plaster of Paris

 POP simply means plaster of Paris a type of ceiling that originated from
France.
 Use of a white powder for molding the ceiling into any form and pattern.
 Usually finished with application of paints.
 White paints are the most predominant choice when pop ceilings are used.
 Best known for the aesthetic appeal and flexibility with recesses and
different levels.
 Fixing Detail of POP
Framework members’ Material

o Aluminum channel, mild steel channel ,wooden runner.

o Stainless steel coated screwed should be used.
o L- angle is the important part provides support to the false ceiling.
Installation
 Fixing The Framework directly to the beams or structural ceiling.
 Fixing the wall support and angle support.
 Fixing suspended framework on the supporting members.
 Fix the wire mesh with screws in the framework.
 Now put the Pop with hand at standing on the scaffolding.
 After the installation of pop it would be finished with the any paint as per
design.
Advantages of POP False ceiling
 It is light in weight and more durable.
 It has low thermal conductivity.
 It is very good fire resistant and hence a very good heat insulating material.
 It does not shrink while setting. Therefore, it does not develop cracks on
heating or setting.
 It forms a thick surface to resist normal knocks after drying.
 It mixes up easily with water and is easy to spread and level.
 It has good adhesion on fibrous materials.
 It gives a firm surface on which the colors can settle.
 It has no appreciable chemical action on paint and does not cause alkali
attack.
 Plaster of Paris gives a decorative interior finish. Its gypsum content provides
it a lot of shine and smoothness.
 It can easily be moulded into any shape.
Disadvantages of POP false ceiling

 It is more expensive than cement or cement lime plaster.

 It cannot be used in moist situations.
 Skilled labor is required for precise application and thus labor cost for
applying plaster of Paris is high.
 Cracks developed after passage of time.
Gypsum Board

 Gypsum is a Soft, light weight hydrated sulfate of

calcium.
 Earlier it was very laborious work to install a roof
with the traditional methods, but with the advent
of gypsum boards for false ceiling, it became
easy to install and also cheaper.
 Gypsum false ceiling consists of gypsum boards
that are being supported by Iron framework.
 It is available in variable thickness and sizes as
well.
 It is quite light weight and is easy to install.
 This type of false ceiling are Sound insulated, fire
resistance, soft and thermally insulated.
 The finishing work on these boards like paints,
laminates, wallpapers and texture finish gives
good look.

Advantages of gypsum board false
ceiling
o Gypsum board walls and ceilings have a number of outstanding advantages:
1.Ease of installation
• Gypsum board building systems are Easy to Install for several reasons.
• Gypsum board panels are relatively large compared to other
materials.
• They come in 48- and 54-inch wide sheets and in lengths of 8, 10, or
12 feet, so they quickly cover large wall and ceiling areas.
Gypsum board is a lightweight material.
2. Fire resistance
• Gypsum board is an excellent fire-resistive building material.
• It is the most commonly used interior finish where fire resistance
classifications are required.
3. Durability
• Gypsum board is used to construct strong, high quality walls and
ceilings that offer excellent dimensional stability and durability.
• Surfaces created using gypsum board are easily decorated and
refinished
4. Versatility
• Gypsum board satisfies a wide range of architectural requirements for design.
• Ease of application, performance, ease of repair, availability, and its adaptability to all forms
of decoration combine to make gypsum board unmatched by any other surfacing product.

5. Sound Insolation
• Preventing the transfer of unwanted sound to adjoining areas is a key consideration when
designing a building, specifically when taking into account the intended activities of the
occupants in the various parts of the building.
• For example, a building containing office spaces adjacent to manufacturing facilities
requires more noise-reducing features than are typically necessary in a building that has only
office space in it.
• Gypsum board wall and ceilings systems effectively help control sound transmission.
• Some construction techniques and gypsum board building systems that are successfully
used for sound isolation and control are described and illustrated in Section.
Wooden Ceiling
Introduction
 IT IS USED BOTH FOR PROVIDING ROOFING AND FOR AESTHETICAL PURPOSE
IN A BUILDING.
 IT CAN BE USED BOTH FOR DOMESTIC AND COMMERCIAL PURPOSE.
Types of wooden false ceiling:-
 Drop ceiling
 Ceiling tiles
 Plank ceiling(tongue and groove)
 Coffered ceiling
 Suspended ceiling
Suspended ceiling
 A non structural ceiling
 suspended below the overhead structural slab or from the structural
elements of a building and not bearing onto the walls is known as
suspended ceiling.

Ceiling tiles
 Ceiling tiles are standard 12" x 12" or 16" x 16" squares that are attached to
a frame which are connected with vertical member.

EDGING PROFILE
• To finish the outer edges of the false
ceiling neatly, fix the finishing strips in
place with construction adhesive.
• Put a few spots of adhesive on the
finishing strip, press it into place.

ADVANTAGES OF WOOD CEILING

• They can be given various finishes, or painted to get the right look.
• They can be treated to increase their lifespan.
• They are strong.

DISADVANTAGES OF WOOD CEILING

• Ply ceiling are difficult to maintain, since these are prone to termite attacks
• The room has to be thermally controlled to reduce the humidity in the air.
• The wood is prone to warping and other physical changes, with time.
• Its highly flammable material.
• Comparative to other materials wooden ceiling is heavy.
Glass fiber glass

 • Usually transparent glass is not used as ceiling as it contradicts the very

idea of false ceiling- to hide from viewer's eye .
 • Thus glass used in ceiling are treatment glass such as frost glass, back
painted , stained glass , mirror etc.
Method of fixing the glass ceiling

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
Other way to applied a glass in false ceiling
 Fix all vertical member
 Aluminum or wooden framework.
 Fix horizontal member
 Fix or apply a glass on the top
Glass applied on wooden frame
Glass applied on aluminum frame

Uses
 To get a natural lights all day.
