Gypsum or PoP - The best ceiling for your spaces

Gypsum or PoP - The best ceiling for your spaces

A ceiling has come far from being just a mere fifth wall in a space. With the modern house leaning more towards aesthetic spaces and varied and unique decor ideas, the idea of having a designer false ceiling almost feels natural. With numerous designs to pick from for something that matches your decor or imagination, a good hall or bedroom ceiling design has become as easy as a walk in the park.

While there are a number of designs available when choosing a designer false ceiling, there are also a few materials choices that one has to make before settling on that perfect designer false ceiling. Few of the most popular, functional and highly used ceiling materials are gypsum, Plaster of Paris, Wood, Fiber etc. In most houses, the question always remains on which material to settle on for the design that has been decided and the major decision is to choose between PoP and Gypsum.

To give a general understanding of the difference between a PoP and Gypsum false ceiling, both these materials have similar functional properties but different intrinsic properties. Read below to grab more understanding of the material as well as its pros and cons:

PoP Ceiling

A PoP false ceiling has been one of the most chosen false ceiling materials over the years, since it was one of the first materials introduced to designers for false ceiling applications. Plaster of PoP is available in a powder form and mixed into a paste into the shape that has been decided on. This paste is applied onto a mesh and that is the reason it stays put.

Pros:

  • Plaster of Paris is quite durable and stays put for long periods of time
  • A PoP false ceiling faces minimum wear and tear due to its basic properties
  • When designing a PoP false ceiling, it can be moulded into any shape
  • The cost of putting on a PoP false ceiling is quite less as the base material, Plaster of Paris is quite cheap.

Cons:

  • A skilled, experienced decorator is required to give it a proper shape.
  • If an experienced person is not used to design the ceiling, the shape can turn haphazard and make your ceiling look bad
  • PoP has to be mixed at the venue of its application and it tends to make a mess. Spillages or droplets can also spoil your tiles and walls.
  • Plaster of Paris is known to be harmful to the environment
  • The drying of PoP false ceiling takes time and has to be covered with plastic which can make the room look shabby.

Gypsum boards

A natural ore, Gypsum is a hydrated calcium sulphate and stays put for long periods of time. A comparatively new material for designer false ceiling, gypsum has all the qualities of PoP and so much more. Manufactured in a factory, a gypsum false ceiling is designed professionally and is assembled onto the original ceiling.

Pros:

  • Gypsum false ceilings are easy to install and leave close to zero mess, since the gypsum boards are designed to your liking, professionally and in a factory, leaving your house mess free.
  • The finish given by a gypsum false ceiling is seamless with no bolts or wires visible when you look up
  • The quality of gypsum boards remain uncompromised, due to advanced designing formulas.
  • Being a natural ore, gypsum false ceilings are environmentally friendly and cause no harm.
  • The boards are designed as per the customer in the factory by professionals

Cons:

  • A gypsum false ceiling cannot be installed over an already low ceiling since it hangs from the original ceiling.

Reading the pros and cons, one can easily judge which ceiling works for them. While a PoP false ceiling may cost less in terms of material, the labor cost can get very high. Not to forget the fact that it leaves your space in a mess. It also tends to crumble after a certain time has passed and has always been harmful to the environment.

On the other hand, being naturally found, a gypsum false ceiling becomes more ideal for a hall, kitchen or bedroom ceiling design, due to its mess-free properties and professional execution. Causing no harm to the environment, a gypsum false ceiling beautifies you space in a way which a PoP false ceiling cannot compete with. For those debating on a false ceiling for their spaces, a gypsum false ceiling is a safe, clean and dependable bet.
