There are several innovations that have been introduced to enable a better look for the interiors of your home and office. And the best advantage of these is that they can be used on the existing walls and ceilings. This makes it suitable for you to redesign an old building without having to enter into a long drawn construction work.
There are wooden boards that were commonly used for the purpose of setting false ceilings and partition walls. Nowadays there is the Kings Drywall board that you can use instead. These are cost effective and extremely attractive too.
There are boards that are prepared from gypsum plaster. This board is placed between two sheets of thick paper. There is another innovation where fiberglass is used in place of paper. However the older version is still available and very popularly used as well.
