When adding your personal touch to the home, you must never forget the ceiling design.While there are multiple materials like wood that can be used to create the desired ceiling, we are going to tell you why the newly introduced gypsum false ceiling designs are changing the ceiling games in modern homes. Known for their many benefits, the gypsum ceiling has made quite a stir. We collaborated with Sudeep Kolte from Saint Gobain India Pvt Ltd to list down some remarkable advantages of gypsum false ceilings. Here’s a look at all that you can do with gypsum ceilings:

#1: Win Fire-Resistance With Gypsum

A gypsum ceiling will emit steam when it comes in contact with fire

Gypsum board false ceiling is quite the popular choice due to the many benefits it has to offer. One of the advantages is the heat-resistant property of this material. It has a non-combustible core that contains chemically combined water (in calcium sulfate).

Saint Gobain Gyproc ceilings are built to tackle high heat conditions, and the first thing that happens when the ceiling comes in contact with fire is that water comes out of it like steam. Even after the water is gone, the gypsum board continues to resist heat. You can use multiple layers of this material for higher heat resistance for your home, like the above ceiling design for hall does.

#2: Get Thermal Insulation With the Gypsum Ceiling

Gypsum materials come with thermal insulation properties that help keep your home cool. The air-filled gap between your original ceiling and the gypsum false ceiling cools the room down. It traps the cold air within the room with its insulation property. In layman terms, this means that when you have a gypsum roof for bedroom, your room can cool down faster.

#3: Enjoy the Benefit of Sound Insulation

Every gypsum ceiling by Saint Gobain Gyproc follows a mantra known as the acoustic design, which ensures sound insulation between rooms and absorption of excess sound to improve communication. So, no more “I can’t hear you’s (sic.) in the same room!” Therefore, a gypsum is perfect for offices and homes. A gypsum design for bedroom is great as it maintains privacy.  So, with gypsum false ceilings, you can enjoy more privacy and you do not have to worry about sound travelling from one room to the other.

#4: Get Flexibility With Sturdy Gypsum Boards

Would you believe if we said that gypsum designs can save electricity costs? Well, yes, a gypsum ceiling can help you reduce your electricity bill significantly. Since a false ceiling is suspended a few inches below your main ceiling, there is a gap between the two layers that act as an insulator Sometimes it can keep your home naturally cool as well. Also, based on your false ceiling design, you can use LED lights, which are energy-efficient. Some designer ceiling designs are highly reflective, and you might not need any extra lights to illuminate your room.

#6: Distribute Even Light

A major advantage of gypsum false ceiling design is that it offers even light distribution. For most false ceilings, you would see that only certain parts of the room are lit up. But in the case of gypsum, this isn’t true. A false ceiling is usually suspended a few inches below the ceiling, which helps in lighting up the room evenly. Thus, whether it’s your hall or you’re considering gypsum for bedroom, every area will be evenly illuminated if you opt for gypsum.

#7: Pick From a Wide Range of Design Options
