What is a Gypsum Ceiling?

A gypsum ceiling is a false ceiling or secondary ceiling suspended from the main ceiling. It is made from gypsum boards (plasterboards) that are lightweight, fire-resistant, and easy to install. Gypsum ceilings are popular in Kenya due to their clean finish, ability to hide electrical and plumbing components, and adaptability to various lighting and design elements.

Why Choose Gypsum Ceilings?

1. Aesthetic Appeal

Gypsum ceilings offer smooth and sleek finishes that enhance interior spaces. They support custom designs such as recessed lighting, layered ceilings, cove lighting, and decorative cornices, giving homeowners and designers a versatile canvas for creativity.

2. Sound and Thermal Insulation

Gypsum boards provide excellent soundproofing properties, making them ideal for office partitions, conference rooms, and bedrooms. They also help regulate room temperature, contributing to energy efficiency.

3. Fire Resistance

One of the critical reasons gypsum is widely used is its fire-retardant nature. The material contains water in its crystallized form, which is released as steam when heated, thus slowing the spread of fire.

4. Ease of Installation and Maintenance

Unlike traditional plastering, gypsum ceilings are quick to install and require minimal maintenance. They are easy to clean and can be painted over without losing their integrity.
