PVC (polyvinyl chloride) ceiling panels are being widely used as a cladding material for the ceilings of residential and commercial buildings. PVC is a strong lightweight plastic material that is factory-manufactured into ceiling panels of various designs, colours, sizes and lengths; each panel has a hollow core and a smooth, shiny surface. Since these panels are waterproof, they work as the best substitute to the conventional mineral fibre ceilings like POP and gypsum in moisture-laden areas like balconies, bathrooms and basements. Here are key facts to know.
Pro: Highly durable
PVC ceiling panels are sturdy and very durable. They can last for years without warping or bending. Unlike gypsum and POP, PVC ceiling panels are not brittle and are less likely to get damaged while handling.
Pro: Affordable
They are an affordable alternative to the conventional POP or gypsum ceiling panels.
Pro: Clean installation
PVC ceiling panel installation is easy, as the panels can be cut and trimmed without difficulty. Also, they do not create a dusty environment during installation.
Pro: Light in weight
PVC ceiling panels are one of the lightest materials that are used for the ceiling. They are very easy to transport, handle and install at site.
Pro: Easy to maintain
The best part about these panels is that they are easy to maintain and do not require any paint, varnish or special coating for routine maintenance. PVC ceiling panels just need a quick wipe with a damp cloth or household cleaners from time to time to keep them looking like new.
