PVC polyvinyl chloride is one of the most widely used types of false ceilings in house construction these days. It is used as an alternative to Gypsum and POP. A unique feature of PVC compared to these two ceilings is the waterproof material.
It is a factory-made material so it comes in different sizes in different colors.
Advantages
PVC ceiling has durability and is a waterproof material so it will last for more days. It will not bend, crack or fade for many years.
Good material is used to prevent wastage during work and to prevent dust during installation. But when ceiling Gypsum or POP then we notice that the dust comes out more.

Disadvantages
Since it is a polyvinyl product we can consider it as a cause of Environmental Pollution.
Some harmful chemicals are added during the preparation of the material but it is likely to have an impact on human health.
It does not help stop heat like gypsum and POP ceilings. This product is not very useful for those who are single floor builders or those who live in sunny areas who want to use it for heat relief.
If you want to do this ceiling because you have an iron roof house then it is completely useless.
However, some companies have introduced heat insulation process so we can reduce the heat till the product of those companies.
It is always best to choose a product with a good rating as problems like breakage and color shading can occur if low-quality material is used.
Price

The average highest purchase price is between 200 and 350 rupees.
