2. What is a gypsum false ceiling?

A gypsum false ceiling is a secondary ceiling made from factory-finished gypsum boards fixed on a metal frame below the main slab. It creates a smooth, seamless surface, allows for lighting integration and hides wiring, services and beams for a clean interior look.

3. Why choose gypsum false ceiling for homes in Bhopal?

Gypsum ceilings are popular for their neat finish, straight lines, modern look and faster installation. They work very well for Bhopal homes looking for hotel-style interiors, concealed lighting and clutter-free ceilings.

4. How is gypsum false ceiling different from POP ceiling?

Gypsum ceilings use pre-made boards, giving faster installation, consistent quality and cleaner joints. POP (Plaster of Paris) is mixed and applied on-site, allowing more free-form shapes but taking more time. You can read more comparison on our POP Ceiling and False Ceiling Guide pages.

5. Is gypsum false ceiling suitable for living rooms?

Yes. Living rooms are the most common areas for gypsum false ceilings. We design step ceilings, L-shaped ceilings, central trays, floating designs and TV-side accent ceilings to give a premium look. You can see ideas on our Featured Designs section.

6. Can gypsum false ceilings be used in bedrooms?

Yes. In bedrooms we usually keep the design subtle, with soft cove lighting, recessed lights or a framed design above the bed. This keeps the room cosy and avoids harsh glare while still looking stylish.

7. Is gypsum false ceiling good for kitchens and bathrooms?

Gypsum can be used in kitchens if the area is well-ventilated and there is no direct water leakage. For very wet zones or bathrooms, we recommend moisture-resistant boards or alternative materials like PVC. During site visit, our team suggests the most practical option for each area.

8. Can you integrate LED and cove lighting in gypsum false ceilings?

Yes. Gypsum false ceilings are perfect for profile lights, cove lighting, spotlights, downlights and chandelier plates. We plan the lighting layout together with the ceiling design. You can learn more on our Lighting Integration page.

9. Are gypsum false ceilings fire-resistant?

Gypsum boards have good fire-resistant properties compared to many other materials, as the core contains water molecules that help delay heat transfer. For commercial projects, we can use specific fire-rated systems as per requirement.

10. How durable is a gypsum false ceiling?

A properly installed gypsum false ceiling can last many years. Durability depends on good framing, correct board selection, proper joint treatment and protection from water seepage from the slab or terrace above.

11. What thickness of gypsum board do you use for ceilings?

Typically, 12.5 mm (½ inch) gypsum boards are used for standard residential ceilings, fixed on a metal framework. For special designs or commercial projects, board type and framing may vary as per load and performance requirements.

12. What is the approximate cost of gypsum false ceiling in Bhopal?

Cost depends on design complexity, area, board type, framing, height and lighting details. Simple flat designs cost less per sq ft, while multi-level or heavy lighting designs cost more. You can refer to our False Ceiling Cost Guide and request a project-specific quotation.

13. What ceiling height is required for gypsum false ceiling?

Ideally, a finished room height of 9.5–10 feet or more is comfortable for gypsum false ceilings. However, we also design low-drop, minimal profiles for slightly lower heights, keeping the room feeling open and proportionate.

14. Can ceiling fans, chandeliers and AC vents be safely installed in gypsum ceilings?

Yes. Fan boxes, chandelier supports and AC grills are planned in advance and supported properly from the slab or frame. We coordinate with your electrician and AC contractor so that the fixtures sit safely and neatly within the gypsum ceiling.

15. Do gypsum false ceilings crack? How can this be avoided?

Minor cracks usually occur if framing is weak, joints are not treated correctly, or there is structural movement or leakage. Ceilfab follows proper framing spacing, joint tapes and compounds to minimise cracks. In case any appear later, they can usually be repaired and repainted.

16. How do you maintain and repaint a gypsum false ceiling?

Gypsum ceilings can be wiped gently for dust and repainted like normal walls using interior paints. If there is any water damage or crack, that patch can be repaired, re-finished and then painted. Our Maintenance & Repair services can help with this.

17. How long does it take to install a gypsum false ceiling?

A typical 2–3 BHK flat gypsum ceiling may take around 5–10 days depending on the design, size, height and number of rooms. Large villas or commercial spaces may take longer. We share timelines clearly in our quotation before starting work.

18. Is gypsum false ceiling suitable for offices, clinics and shops?

Yes. Gypsum ceilings work very well in offices, clinics, showrooms, salons and retail spaces where a clean, organised and professional look is required, along with concealed wiring, AC ducts and lights.

19. Does gypsum false ceiling help with heat and sound?

Yes. The air gap and board layer of a gypsum false ceiling provide some thermal and acoustic benefits, helping reduce heat from the slab and slightly improving sound comfort. For strong acoustic control, we can combine gypsum with additional insulation or acoustic panels.

20. Can gypsum false ceilings be combined with other ceiling materials?

Yes. Many designs use gypsum as the main ceiling surface along with wooden rafters, PVC panels, metal sections or acoustic panels as highlights. This gives a richer look while keeping the ceiling functional and easy to maintain.
