What is a false ceiling?
Surely you have come across the word false ceiling in the market or on different websites. In the past, building the roof of houses was done by manual methods without any tools and with basic materials only including manual plastering. But now, various tools are used to build the roofs of houses, such as kenaf and false ceilings.
A false ceiling is a kind of prefabricated structure made of special light weight or special tunnels, which is installed on the roof by screws and then covered with sealant and putty. The types of false ceilings have different types and uses, each of which has advantages and disadvantages and has different prices according to its use.
⚫️ Is Kanaf the same as a false ceiling?
Perhaps you have also thought that knauf work is different from a false ceiling, since the false ceiling itself has different types and any pre-made structure that is installed on the roof can be called a false ceiling. He said that knaf itself is a kind of false ceiling.
In the design and implementation of new roofs nowadays, they mostly use knaf work, and this is because it not only has a diverse design, but lighting and painting can also be used to beautify the roof.
What is the difference between hemp and false ceiling?
As it was said above, knauf work itself is a type of false ceiling, so the difference between knaf and roof can be checked in terms of types of false ceilings. In addition to the beauty, the roof construction has various advantages for the house owners and it differs from other types of false ceilings only in its technical specifications, weight, resistance, price and execution method.
For example, if only one square meter of the roof is covered with kenaf, the weight of the kenaf used will be around 13 kg, but if we use the same one square meter with a plaster structure, the average weight will be around 40 kg. One of the distinct differences between Knaf and false ceilings such as gypsum and Rabbits is its lightness and easy portability.
⚫️ Introducing all kinds of false ceilings
Types of false ceilings include tunnel ceilings or PVC ceilings, gypsum ceilings, and rabbits, each of which has unique characteristics and is completely different from roof construction.
1. The tanning ceiling or pvc
Tunnel is a type of false ceiling that is made in different sizes and materials and requires an aluminum profile to be installed and implemented on the ceiling, and you must first grid the ceiling with an aluminum profile. Then install the tunnels on the pre-prepared networks. Tunnel false ceiling has its own types that have advantages such as waterproof, anti-scratch, resistant to chemicals, long life and resistance to decay.
Among the differences between Kenaf and the tunnel roof, we can mention the reduction of less space in the decoration during the execution of the tunnel roof, temperature and heat insulation, and the possibility of using it in shorter roofs.
2. Gypsum false ceiling:
Gypsum false ceiling is another type of false ceiling that is made of different types of plaster and is installed on the ceiling by different plates and bolts together.
As mentioned above, this type of roof has a higher average weight and is less resistant to earthquakes and vibrations.
For example, the difference between knaf and gypsum roofs is better visible in environments that are prone to earthquakes, and it is better to use knaf roofs in these environments. Because in addition to being light, knaf roofs have 14 times higher resistance than plaster ceilings and cause less damage in the event of an accident.
3. False Robotis Ceiling:
Rabitis is a type of false ceiling that is made of mesh steel sheet and is used not only in the ceiling but also in plastering, cement concrete, beams, etc. This product is made of galvanized steel sheets with a thickness of 0.25 to 0.5, which create a network with wire wires next to each other.
Also, one of the important advantages of the Rabbitis roof is its resistance to rust, which is completely opposite to the Kenaf construction because the Kenaf roof has little resistance to moisture.
