About Design & Style Showcase
When planning your false ceiling, think about functionality as much as the look. We use 12mm thick standard gypsum plasterboards and ensure grid spacing is set to 600mm x 600mm centers to prevent sagging over time. This robust structure is what makes your design last without cracks or visible bowing.
A false ceiling is more than just a decorative element; it is a smart way to manage your interior environment. Whether you are aiming for a minimalist flat gypsum finish or a dramatic layered cove design, the right ceiling can completely change the room's proportions.
Why consider a false ceiling?
Beyond aesthetics, it serves a functional purpose. It allows you to conceal electrical wiring and plumbing pipes, creating a clean, clutter-free look. In our experience, it also helps with temperature regulation, making rooms feel cooler during peak summers.
Choosing the right material
- Gypsum Board: For a seamless, smooth finish that looks premium. We use high-quality boards from brands like Saint-Gobain Gyproc or USG Boral.
- PVC and Grid: If you are looking at utility spaces like bathrooms, balconies, or kitchens where moisture is a concern, these options are water-resistant and durable.
Lighting and layout
Integrating lighting is the next big step. From recessed COB lights to elegant LED strip coves, we frame the ceiling to house your lights exactly where you want them. Before we start, we work on your electrical layout to ensure fan placements and chandeliers sit perfectly.
Our team has over 20 years of experience, meaning we know how to handle the common pitfalls like cracks at the joints. We use fiber mesh or paper tape during the jointing process and apply high-quality compound to ensure the surface is laser-levelled and ready for paint. We don't just put up boards; we build a sturdy, reliable structure that holds up over time.
