How to choose the false ceiling for your Home

Updated: Jul 18, 2022




Height matters the most

When you consider the false ceiling, ensure that the distance from the floor to the false ceiling level is sufficient enough for accommodating the Gypsum or Gyproc boards without creating a cumbersome atmosphere.

It should be large enough to provide a sense of space and openness and accommodate the lighting and other services.

Fitting with your room sizes

If you have a small home/ office space, make sure you keep frills to a minimum. Because frills can make your interiors appear cluttered. Instead, choose designs with clean, straight lines and avoid moldings.


If you have a large home/ office space there are plenty of interior design ideas that can be implemented. To make it further appealing, you can choose double-layered ceilings or standout shapes, textures, and finishes.

Supporting the ceiling

The gypsum/ Gyproc ceiling is not as strong as a slab. As a result, you must ensure that you understand how much weight it can support. So, avoid hanging any chandeliers, ceiling lights, or decorative pieces on it. As a precaution, a piece of plywood should be installed just above the gypsum sheet to give strength to support.

Additionally, prior to constructing the false ceiling, ensure that the ceiling fan rod is installed on the ceiling slab. Install the fan rod first then start your ceiling works be it a gypsum false ceiling, a wooden ceiling, or a PVC tile ceiling. Furthermore, when it comes to heavy items like swings, always remember to install a sturdy hook in the slab before constructing the false ceiling so that it can support the weight of the swing.

Easy to Install and Clean

This is crucial to bear in mind, in order to achieve the goal of installing the ceiling, you must choose a design that is easy to clean and must be accessible for you to change the lights in the future.
