Conclusion
The cost per square foot of a false ceiling depends on various factors like design, size, quality, availability, and additional cost. If you plan to have a complex design with high-quality materials, it will be costlier, but if it is for a large ceiling area, you can buy the materials at wholesale price in bulk, eventually balancing the whole price. The drop of the ceiling from the original ceiling is also crucial, as a greater drop will result in a higher false ceiling rate. Apart from all these, keep in mind the cost of surface finishes, cutting, electrical wiring, light fittings, and accents. Transportation and logistics can also have a considerable impact on the whole price range.
Now, you know how to calculate the false ceiling price after considering different factors and the price range of top false ceiling materials and brands, as per different cities. So, don’t waste any more time and submit your enquiries to get an exact price quote.
