POP Ceiling & Duco Paint: A Practical Finishing Guide

POP false ceilings do three jobs at once: hide conduits and AC piping, create cove lighting pockets, and lower a room's proportions to something more human.

Sequence matters

Electrical conduiting and AC drain slope go in before the ceiling closes. Reopening a finished ceiling for a missed wire is the most common avoidable cost on a site.

Why Duco needs a booth

Duco is sprayed in coats with sanding between each one. Done on site, dust settles into the wet coat. We spray panels in our Sarjapura facility and deliver them cured, which is why the sheen stays even across every shutter.

Expect this timeline

POP with cove detailing takes 6–9 days including curing and two putty coats. Duco panels run parallel in the factory, so the site is not idle.
