GYPSUM WALL & CEILING
Closed ceilings are created using panels, tiles or suspended plain gypsum boards.
Suspended gypsum ceilings are sometimes referred to as dropped ceilings or false ceilings. As their name implies, they are suspended from the structure above which is usually a roof or slab. This creates a space between the underside of the structure and the upper surface of the ceiling.
Suspended gypsum ceilings are hung from brackets fixed to the underside of the roof or slab. These brackets support the series of interlocking metal sections, forming a grid system where panels are fitted. These gypsum ceiling tiles can be removed to access the ducts and pipes above and in the case of a plain ceiling, access panels are provided for easy & frequent access to the top part.
Even though a closed gypsum ceiling makes a room seem smaller than it actually is, gypsum ceilings can effectively conceal visual imperfections including ductwork, pipes and wires & don’t affect the performance of MEP installations. This type of ceiling allows easy access to the systems above for easier maintenance & often has lower energy costs. Lighting Fixtures can be fitted as per the size of the panels as well.
Closed ceilings are decorated using bulkheads, cornice moldings, decorative ceiling tiles, strip lights, spotlights, chandeliers, hanging lights, etc. Aluminum ceiling tiles are used in kitchen ceiling
