What can move this figure
- Material: POP, gypsum, PVC and grid differ in material cost and in how long they last in humid rooms.
- Design: every drop, cove and curve adds framing and finishing labour. A flat ceiling is the cheapest form of the same material.
- Lighting: profile lights, cove strips and spot cut-outs are usually priced separately from the ceiling itself.
- Ceiling height and access: tall rooms need scaffolding; a stairwell or double-height hall costs more per sq ft.
