False Ceiling Maintenance
Well to all those homeowners and makers who are extra careful about cleanliness, false ceiling is a way to go.
I mean, maintaining the beauty and delicacy of false ceiling is a hassle free job. Gypsum board false ceiling can easily be maintained like any other plastered surface. No special maintenance is required. For any dust accumulation it can be cleaned with broom or a smooth rug, just like other interiors of your house.
While cleaning the False Ceiling Home owner needs to take care for no water contact. Gypsum plasterboard and water don’t go hand in hand. Water will damage the ceiling finish and durability too.

hello need help , so our new home is being constructed and we had false ceiling job done some 4 to 5 months ago , now we began to see cracks on 2 of those false ceiling , we called a guy and he said they had done a poor job and gave poor support to false ceiling . Is there anything we can do to fix it , we don’t want to remove them all and redo the job.
This is very rear occurrence. Have honestly never heard that false ceiling went bad in months. It just stays for very very long time if not disturbed. Unless root cause is known, it is difficult to decide. Was there leakage on ceiling? Was the concrete or framing not good above ceiling? Was this POP or gypsum false ceiling? We always suggest home owners to go with gypsum & not use traditional POP . What kind of design was made, just curious to know
I did my pop work and paint on it later when the kitchen guy was installing the the tall unit i started to see cracks in my ceiling (pop installed few weeks ago) was it due to paint or pop quality was bad i am not getting what to do
There are so many factors that could go wrong. Your goal should be to work with your carpenter & get it fixed. If building is new construction, there are chances more cracks will appear over first 18 months. If building is old & has seepage issue at root, paint work will get spoiled. Carpenter while fixing tall unit could have caused damage. But whatsoever may be the cause, work with your team & get it fixed smoothly. For minor issues, you should NOT be charged by your POP-Paint hire.
Hi sir ,we bought a new house ready to move ,our electrian told pop not done properly n inside finishing also.And the little air crack is there and ceiling above they leave with roughly cement work .
What my question is in above ceiling any tiles work is required to avoid leakage in future .pls suggest me sir
New construction buildings – concrete POP are bound to develop minor cracks, in first 12 months. Tiles on Ceiling ? I dont understand. ARe you saying Tiles on terrace or floor above?
How easy is it to change the location of one of the spotlights in my false ceiling?

Can i do false ceiling after 6 months or 1 year after my complete house is done ? If all interior work is done including tiles paint …. it possible to do false after all this?
False ceiling comes quite early in process. It covers your electrical wiring. Lights. Ceiling fan rod. Also lot of furniture is not exposed until false ceiling & painting work is done. False ceiling works doesn’t take much time. If you go for simpler/modest design, will take less time & money. It is not usual to delay false ceiling work.
there are hair line cracks on the false ceiling sheets. is it okay?
No its not OK. It should have not happened. Try to investigate reason. However It can be fixed very easily. CHeck with any local false ceiling person
I want to avoid false ceiling. I am ok to use ceiling lights, profile lights and track lights without false ceiling. To hide the wires I wish to use decorative aluminium patti (not cheap white plastic) for electric wires. We can a geometric pattern of pattis on ceiling and hide wire in it. What is your comment on above?
Yes it can be done. This will collect dust. Will add regular cleaning activity
