GYPSUM BOARD

Gypsum boards or panels come in a prefabricated ready-to-install form. They are fixed with screws to a metal frame that is attached to the ceiling slab or soffit (the underside of a structure). For long-term durability make sure that you opt for only good quality metal frames that are rust-proof.

The biggest advantage of going for a gypsum ceiling is that it is a quick and clean method of installation that generates less dust during execution. Gypsum plaster boards are large, hence there are very few joints created during installation. These joints are finished with a jointing compound that dries very quickly. Gypsum boards are easy to work with and paint because of their smooth factory-produced finish. Since the mixture is made with precision in factory conditions, the quality remains consistent in boards of good brands.
