The concept of a false ceiling,  and interior designing as a whole, was foreign to Bangladesh even a couple of decades ago. But as the days progressed, people adopted the idea and became more interested in modernizing their houses, incorporating false ceilings with different interior design styles. False ceilings are additional ceilings used for increasing functionality and enhancing the beauty of the original ceiling. But there is more to a false ceiling than meets the eye. In this article, we will discuss six very important benefits of using false ceilings in your home.

The uses of false ceilings have become very popular in recent years

COVERS THE EXPOSED BEAMS ON THE CEILING

Many houses have exposed beams running along the roof slab, which can end up being an eyesore. If you also have exposed beams in your ceiling, installing a false ceiling can be an excellent way to hide them and give your room a sleek look.

HIDES THE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRING

Many people want to add new functionality to their flats, including decorative lights or smart home technology. But in doing so, the electrical wirings across the room get exposed. Not only does this create inconsistency, it also takes away the aesthetic of the house. But installing a false ceiling can hide them out of sight. A false ceiling can also easily hide any type of construction inconsistency such as exposed pipes and post-work imperfections.

HELPS SOUNDPROOF YOUR HOME

False ceilings are very effective in creating soundproof rooms. This is why the use of this ceiling is so common in offices, shopping malls, and indoor stadiums. But this should not just be limited to offices or shopping malls. In a noisy city like Dhaka, many people want to build a house that is soundproofed. And false ceilings can help with that. However, you have to choose the right materials for that. Mineral boards are amazing for absorbing both heat and sound. So if you want to make your house soundproof, use mineral boards instead of gypsum boards in false ceilings.

THERMAL INSULATOR

One of the biggest benefits of using false ceilings is that they can be used as a great thermal insulator. You can use the same mineral board in the false ceiling to insulate your home as well. That way you don’t have to use your air conditioning system as much. This, in turn, will cut your electricity bill and help save you money.

MAKES IT EASY TO CREATE LIGHTING POINTS

When your house needs more light than it already gets, a false ceiling can be a great way for adding more lights. Having false ceilings makes it easy and gives you the flexibility to change the positions of the light points and fan points. It even provides options for incorporating different lighting styles such as diffused LED lighting or spotlighting, as per the decor of the room.

CREATES STORAGE

You can use the space between the false ceiling and the main ceiling as a storage area. You can turn any such space into a storage compartment, but make sure proper ventilation is in place if you choose the space above the bathroom. Use a ventilation grill or exhaust fan to prevent moisture build-up. Otherwise, items stored in the compartment will get damaged.
