What is a plaster ceiling?

Plaster ceiling is made of plasterboards that are affixed to a wood or metal frame installed on the ceiling. Plaster ceilings are usually installed to conceal electrical wiring for fans and lights, ducting for air conditioning units, and plumbing pipes.

Plasterboards are made of gypsum or casting powder mixed in with fibres that hold the mixture together. In the past, asbestos was used in the place of plaster. This has been discontinued as asbestos is known to cause cancer, so be sure that your renovators never use asbestos for your ceilings.

Do you need a plaster ceiling?

Plaster ceilings are installed for various reasons. The primary reason to install a plaster ceiling or false ceiling is for concealment. Often, plaster ceilings are installed to hide wires and pipes hanging above the house. Not all electrical wiring and plumbing pipes are concealed especially when it is not planned initially or bigger in size that does not fit the concrete wall. A plaster ceiling is typically installed to hide the mess above the house.

The false ceiling can do much more than just hiding things, it can be used to improve the overall interior design of any room purely for aesthetic purposes. A plaster ceiling can make the interior of the house look more polished and elegant. They can also contain intricate carvings and patterns to style your room.

What do you need to make sure of before installing the plaster ceiling?

Do you have enough space between the original ceiling and the planned plaster ceiling? A minimum of 35 cm should be introduced between the original ceiling and the plaster ceiling layer if you plan to install ceiling cassette air conditioning units.

Is your room structure tall enough to install a plaster ceiling? Always remember to evaluate the space between your new plaster ceiling and the floor to avoid ending up with a low ceiling that feels crampy and tight. Also, ensure the contractor factor in the space for items hanging down the plaster ceiling like chandeliers and ceiling fans.
