PLASTERBOARD FALSE CEILING

Taken note of how plasterboard is an economic raw material, easy to apply and quick in processing,

more and more interior designers and architects are choosing to create technical solutions with this material.

One of the most common processes to be carried out with plasterboard is undoubtedly the plasterboard false ceiling.

What is a plasterboard false ceiling?

The plasterboard false ceiling is a dry construction work that offers the possibility of creating a false ceiling inside a room from scratch and determines a decrease in the useful height.

Type

It can be said that the plasterboard false ceiling can have several purposes:

1. Aesthetic: it can act as a decorative element of an environment; it can be placed at different heights creating unique effects and fantastic settings; it may contain extra fancy designs (insertion of spotlights or LED strips, various decorations, ...).

2. Practical: it can hide otherwise unsightly pipes or ducts inside it (for example the pipe of the kitchen extractor hood, the black water discharge pipe, ...); can make the air conditioning system invisible by passing the cables and pipes inside it; it can conceal the electrical cables of a stereo or wi-fi system.

3. Functional: it is possible to obtain performing results such as thermal improvement (by inserting heat-insulating material) and / or acoustic improvement (by inserting sound-absorbing and / or sound-insulating material).

4. Technical: a floor can be "brought up to standard" by creating fire-resistant lowerings (following the guidelines of the certified EI packages) or a deteriorated floor can be made earthquake-proof by creating a "false ceiling".
