into the concrete subfloor and inside the walls.<\/p>\n<p>If you install air-conditioning, more ducting needs to run along your ceiling. And, if you add more lighting points, you need to add even more wires along the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you want to add a ceiling fan, you need to hang it from the concrete subfloor.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the ceiling a busy place, full of electrical wiring for fans and lights, ducting for air conditioning units, and plumbing pipes.<\/p>\n<p>False ceilings are used to hide all these things.<\/p>\n<p>But, a false ceiling can do much more than just hide things.

Using different shapes and cross-sections, the designer can create different lighting effects to add more visual interest to your room.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can add L-boxes along every wall of the room. Along each L-box, you can add a recessed area to lay LED lights. This is to create cove lighting or a light trough. Cove lighting directs light towards the ceiling and bounces it down, giving an even light without glare.<\/p>\n<p>You can also add false ceiling in the centre of room, then raise the false ceiling around the edges and add lights to create pelmets.<\/p>\n<p>Designers can play around with other combinations and layers. For example, a custom-made round-shaped L-box can be used as flat dome in the middle of the ceiling as a design element. Other examples include lots of LED points to create a starry sky effect.<\/p>\n<p>Homeowners also have the option of adding decorative elements, such as plaster or wooden cornices to the sides, or a ceiling rose in the centre of a chandelier.<\/p>\n<p>Some designers also use an L-box to close up the gap between a cabinet and the ceiling.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11575\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/l-box-1000x546.jpg\" alt=\"L-box to cover up aircon piping at this Puchong condo.

The most likely reason to repair your plaster ceiling is if you repositioned a light, or a CCTV camera. The holes that are left behind can be patched up with scrim, and repainted.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to repair your plaster ceiling because your roof was leaking (and dripping on to your plaster ceiling), the damaged section can simply be cut out, and replace with a new piece. Again, the joints are patched with scrim, and the entire section is repainted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_benefits_of_plaster_ceilings\"><\/span>Other benefits of plaster ceilings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some advantages to have a low false ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, a lower height ceiling reduces the volume of a room, so your air conditioner will cool the room faster. This can lower your energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it also makes changing light bulbs an easier task as all you need is just a step stool.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of installing a plasterboard ceiling is that they are fire-resistant. Since gypsum contains a small amount of water, it will not combust or increase the spread of a fire.<\/p>\n<p>Plasterboard ceiling also help dampen the acoustics of a room, making it quieter. It also has a strong resistance against termite attack.<\/p>\n<p>One disadvantage of plaster ceilings is that they are not water resistant. If there is a roof leak dripping water on your false ceiling, it will form an unsightly yellow patch. However, once the leaking is fixed, the yellow patches can be easily repainted to restore its original appearance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11554\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11554 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/db051974-c9db-42b5-b4a5-7eb2cee95e59_pasted20image200-1000x750.jpg\" alt=\"Installing plaster ceiling frame, by Interior Kami.
