Having false ceiling designs for your interior spaces is the common trend in the current scenario. Thanks to the visually-aesthetic feel which such ceilings provide for letting the inhabitants enhance the look and living conditions of their offices or residential areas. Additionally, such ceilings help conceal wires, ducts, cables, and the hardware of your light fittings , air conditioning, sound systems, alarms among other things. It also helps you plan for ambient lighting, which is essential to create a mood in any space and is very popular nowadays.
Selecting a high quality yet low cost false ceiling designs that appeal to your eyes and are budget friendly is confusing sometimes. Isn’t it? Enlisted are the dos and don’ts you must remember while choosing the false ceiling designs for your workspace.
Initially when someone considers a drop/false ceiling, one should ensure that the distance from the floor to false ceiling level is high enough for Gypsum or Gyproc false ceiling installation without giving a claustrophobic feel to the place. It should be enough to accommodate lighting and services and at the same time give a sense of space and openness.
Are you thinking of determining a particular design for the false ceiling for your workspace or maybe living area? Then always remember to freeze on a lighting layout in advance. It is because an appealing lighting system for your office ensures a warm and friendly environment. Furthermore, you can also decide whether you want to opt for Gypsum board lighting specially made for concealed spaces or exposed lighting.
If you have a small office space then make sure that you are minimizing the use of frills. As frills can give a little congested look to your interiors. Instead, you can opt for designs with clean straight lines that help to avoid moulding in small spaces.
When we talk about large spaces then there are a plethora of interior designing ideas which one can execute. You can choose the double-layered ceilings or standout shapes, textures and finishes to create drama for your large workspace at hand.
Does your room not have enough height to adjust a full ceiling ? Then go for the false ceiling that runs along the periphery of the walls in a step, cove or border format. As a result, it won’t eat up on the height by giving you the choice to create mood lighting. Also, make sure to maximise the space between the slab and the false ceiling. For this, you can hide/conceal all electrical wires, AC ducts, copper piping, and more within them.
With a lightweight, PVC laminated suspended gypsum ceiling not as sturdy as a slab. Therefore, you must ensure to know the amount of weight it can support. So, avoid hanging any chandeliers, ceiling lights or decorative pieces to it before that. For precautions, it is suggested to install a piece of plywood just above the gypsum sheet to give it strength to hold the weight of the piece.
Furthermore, make sure to get the ceiling fan rod installed on the ceiling slab prior to the false ceiling construction. Whether it’s gypsum false ceiling, wooden ceiling, pvc tile ceiling, or any other lightweight ceilings, install the fan rod first. Moreover, when it’s the matter of heavy items like swings, always remember to install a sturdy hook in the slab before making the false ceiling allowing it to hold the weight of the swing.
For all the residential/commercial spaces which are directly under the terrace of a building, it is suggested to opt for glass wool material. Glasswool makes a significant contribution to ensuring safe workplaces by providing efficient thermal & acoustic insulation.
