Plaster of Paris (POP) false ceilings are most popular false ceilings in modern days. This type of ceiling is cheaper, long lasting and is easily available. POP is produced by heating to the gypsum by certain degrees.

Fiber Ceiling is the most cheapest type of ceiling in the market. You may find these type of ceilings in commercial buildings. Therer are different varieties of fibers available in the market. Acrylic fiber is most common among fibers. If you are looking for ceiling in the bathroom then acrylic fiber is the best choice. They are helpful for centralized air conditions. Fiber ceiling also has the advantage of accessing the internal wiring easily. Fiber is available in different sizes and shapes.

Wooden Ceiling

Wooden is very attractive and gives very natural look. This type of false ceilings add extra luxury to the interiors. Wooden can also be used with other ceiling types like POP. Wooden is a little costly so wooden false ceilings can cost you more. They are mostly used in residential buildings because of cost considerations. While using wooden, you also have to think of termite attack.

Glass is non crystalline material with advantage of transparency and this also has options of making it non transparent by means of admixtures.

Some POP ceilings also use glass to become more attractive. Glass can help reduce the heat as it is a good insulator of heat.

Metal Ceiling

Metal is used for this type of ceiling and this is very commonly used in outdoor ceiling because this can withstand with high temperatures easily. For the metal ceiling, they use galvanized iron and aluminum. This type of ceiling is cost-effective also.

Synthetic Leather or Cloth Ceiling

This type of ceilings use leather and cloth for final layers. As these materials can be easily transformed into any shape.

Though cheaper in cost, they are mostly used for temporary tents. The main reason is that they catch dust easily.
