Does aluminum false ceiling provide better thermal insulation than gypsum?

Undoubtedly, aluminum false ceilings offer superior thermal insulation compared to traditional gypsum ceilings. This superiority is due to the reflective nature of aluminum. The panels reflect heat rather than absorbing it, significantly reducing heat transfer to and from the interior space. In the summer, this helps keep the building cooler, reducing the burden on air conditioning systems and resulting in significant savings on energy bills. In the winter, it helps retain warmth inside. Furthermore, the insulation capabilities can be further enhanced by adding layers of insulating materials such as rock wool or fiberglass to the space between the original ceiling and the false ceiling. This integration makes aluminum ceilings an ideal solution for modern buildings seeking high energy efficiency and a comfortable indoor environment year-round, something that gypsum ceilings may not provide with the same level of effectiveness.
