The most popular false ceiling material is plaster of Paris (POP). When gypsum is heated, it softens and releases water, forming POP!

The POP artificial ceiling has a nice appearance and a long lifespan. They’re great at insulating heat. This type of drop ceiling conceals unsightly construction elements such as ventilation pipes and conduits and gives the ceiling a smooth surface.
