Material: Plaster of Paris, a dehydrated gypsum powder, is mixed with water to form a hard, durable material.
Installation: Involves fixing a metal framework with mesh to the ceiling, then applying the POP paste, which takes time to dry and requires skilled labor.
Design Flexibility: Unlike prefabricated boards, POP can be molded into various shapes, curves, and intricate designs.
Features: Often used for cove lighting, recessed spotlights, and hiding wires or uneven surfaces.
Cost & Durability: Generally cost-effective (approx. 60-120 per sq ft) and long-lasting with a life span of 10-15 years.
Pros: Highly customizable, seamless finish, fire-safe, and durable.
Cons: Time-consuming installation, messy onsite application, and high vulnerability to water leakage.
