PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
The service lifespan difference between aluminum ceilings and traditional gypsum ceilings is significant, clearly favoring aluminum. Aluminum ceilings have an extremely long service life, potentially exceeding 50 years with minimal maintenance. This is due to the properties of the metal itself; aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, is unaffected by moisture, and will not crack or deteriorate due to temperature changes. The modern, high-quality coatings we use on our products enhance this durability, preserving the ceiling's color and appearance for decades without fading or peeling. In contrast, the service life of gypsum ceilings is much shorter and is significantly affected by environmental conditions. Gypsum is a porous material that is sensitive to moisture, making it susceptible to stains, mold, sagging, and damage from any water intrusion. It is also more susceptible to scratches and impacts and requires repainting and periodic maintenance every few years to maintain its appearance. In short, choosing an aluminum ceiling is a long-term investment that provides peace of mind and reduces long-term maintenance and replacement costs, while gypsum requires ongoing care and typically requires renovation or replacement within a shorter period.
