False ceiling, a true boon
Normally, false ceilings are made using gypsum sheets. The basic cost of installation begins at around Rs 50 per sq ft.
It is when the room temperature increases that people start thinking about air coolers as well as air conditioners. But majority of them opt to keep away from those considering the huge power bills they might receive. There is a better option to reduce the room temperature — false roofing which is becoming very popular these days.
According to Kollam-based Renju Raju, false roof is opted by many. “Though many are coming forward for this style as a beauty element, it is one of the best options to reduce the room temperature. It stands as a separate body between the concrete roof and the room with an air pocket in between,” he says.
Renju points out that false ceilings help the AC to become more effective in the rooms. “As such equipment consume more electricity to cool the rooms having high temperature, false ceilings can help air conditioners work properly,” he opines.
Normally, false ceilings are made using gypsum sheets. The basic cost of installation begins at around Rs 50 per sq ft. “The texture as well as the colour of the ceiling can be fixed after the installation,” he points out.
