1. FALSE CEILING GYPSUM PVC POP GLASS ACRYLIC SHEET BY : SAKSHI VASWANI

2. INTRODUCTION WH A T IS F AL S E CEI L ING ? A false ceiling is a ceiling that is suspended from the main ceiling. The suspension is fixed to the walls , roof or beams of the superstructure. In simpler words, a false ceiling is a second ceiling created bellows the original. It gives a beautiful homogeneous appearance and smooth finish. PURPOSE It improves aesthetical appearance( form, color, treatment etc.) & proportions by managing room heights Hides electrical cabling & provides space for recessed lights Air-conditioning hides ducting & reduces the volume of room Ugly structural members like beams, etc. that usually spoil the ‘look’ of the room are concealed/ camouflaged. Provides insulation from heat. Acoustical improvement. soundproof rooms such as meeting rooms, auditoriums, etc, which require a quite environment. As a design element.

3. CEILING : A ceiling is an overhead interior surface that covers the upper limits of a room. It is not generally considered a structural element, but a finished surface concealing the underside of the roof structure or the floor of a storey above. Pipework or ducts can be run in the gap above the cei l in g , and insulatio n and firep r oofing material can be placed here. Other types of ceiling include the cathedral ceiling, the concave or barrel-shaped ceiling, the stretched ceiling and the coffered ceiling.

5. Advantages of false ceiling : A ceiling helps cool the room. When the height of the r oom i s too m u c h, p r ovi ding a ce i li n g hel ps to reduce the height. " R educi n g t he he i ght also he l ps in reducing the capacity of the air- conditioner ,covering the upper area also has the m ulti ple a d v anta g es s u c h concealing the wiring, lighting fixtures, air-conditioning ducts, security cameras, and other fixtures. T h e ceil i ng also acts as an at t r acti v e b a se f or all kinds of d e co r ati v e electric light s and fan s . T h ese apa r t, a ceil i ng hel ps elimi n ate e c ho i n the r oom. In bathroom, ceilings can be provided to hide the pipes or any other fittings above.

6. Disadvantages of false ceiling : One disadvantage with this ceiling system is reduced headroom. Clearance is required between the grid and any pipes or ductwork above to install the ceiling tiles and light fixtures. In general, a minimum clearance of 100 to 200 millimetres (4 to 8 in) is often needed between the lowest obstruction and the level of the ceiling grid. A direct-mount grid may work for those who want the convenience of a dropped ceiling, but have limited headroom. Stretch ceiling supports require less than one inch of vertical space, and no space is required for tiles to be lifted out with a stretch ceiling, but a greater clearance space may be chosen to allow room for MEC or for aesthetic reasons. Dropped ceilings generally conceal many of the functional and structural elements of a building, creating an aesthetic paradigm that discourages the use of functional building systems as aesthetic design elements. Concealing these elements makes the complexity of today's advanced building technologies more difficult to appreciate. It is also more difficult to perform maintenance on or diagnose problems with the concealed systems. As a renovation tool, dropped ceilings are a quick and inexpensive way to repair a ceiling or reduce HVAC costs. Some materials may show their age quickly— for example, mineral fiber sags, is damaged easily when handled, and stains easily, but stretch ceiling, tin and vinyl do not have these characteristics.

7. G Y P S U M B O A R D C E I L I N G Gypsum is a mineral found in sedimentary rock formations in a crystalline form known as calcium sulphate dihydrate CaSO 4 •2H 2 O. One hundred pounds of gypsum rock contains approximately 21 pounds (or 10 quarts) of chemically combined water. Gypsum rock is mined or quarried and transported to the manufacturing facility. Have concealed suspended framing . The furring section forms a battening system on to the gypsum board is screwed using dry wall screws with an electric screwdriver. Furring sections are set at 600 mm to 450 mm centres depending on thickness and no of layers of boards.

8. Polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.) tiles Are commonly used floor & suspended ceiling finish They are small in size , usually 150mm, 225mm and 305mm The tiles are made of a composite of PVC and fiber Available in different colors, sizes, designs and patterns Are used in residences, offices, and commercial areas

9. FALSE CEILING OF POP BASIC HISTORY OF POP:- First used in the 1700s due to large quarry deposits of gypsum located in Montmartre, a district of Paris, which was a leading center of plaster. It is a mixture of calcined gypsum (calcium sulfate dehydrate), sand and water. When these ingredients are mixed together and the subsequent paste is allowed to dry, it hardens and forms a tough coating. As tough as plaster of Paris is when dry, it is still soft enough to be sanded and carved. Artists use plaster of Paris to create sculpture surface. The Greeks and romans used plaster to create replicas of their more famous artwork. The use of finely ground gypsum plaster to create decorative molding was popular during the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Painting in fresco on a thin layer of wet plaster of Paris.

10. Compositions of POP POP simply means plaster of Paris a type of ceiling that originated from France. Use of a white powder (calcium trioxo carbonate) for molding the ceiling into any form and pattern. Finishing methods of pop Usually finished with application of paints. White paints are the most predominant choice when pop ceilings are used. Advantages :- Best known for the aesthetic appeal and flexibility with recesses and different levels.

11. METHOD FOR FIXING POP CEILING: Step 1:- FIXING THE FRAMEWORK DIRECTLY TO THE BEAMS OR PLATER CEILING. Fixing a aluminum or wooden framework to act as supporting structure directly to the existing ceiling or roofing beams. Wooden supports with a spacing of 40 cm. The panels are then screwed to the wooden framework.

12. 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 supports 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.

13. Step 6:- Fix the first row of ceiling panels Screw the first ceiling panel to the left side against the wall, using 25 mm 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 Off

14. 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. .

15. Ste p 9 : - Edgin g p r of i l e . For a neat finish in the corners, cut the ends of the finishing strips at 45 degree.

18. GLASS CEILING Made of regular metal framework onto which glass panels are attached with the help of putty etc, Glass panels are mainly 30 to 40 mm thick and they are usually 120 rs per panel. They are mainly used in area like shower cabins etc where there is a high chance for normal plastered ceiling to get damaged. They are normal fixed to the wall and not suspended.

19. PLASTE R O F P ARI S F ALS E CEILING Plaster of Paris (POP) is commonly used for constructing false ceilings. Advantages of POP: A smooth, uniform finish. The surface can be recorded or painted. POP false ceiling are easy to construct and maintain. The ceilings are really light. Thickness- 10-15 mm Tile – 2.5 x 1.5 ft Rate: 80/- per sft. .
