A flat plaster ceiling is the clean, simple ceiling choice that most Malaysian homes use. It hides wiring and uneven surfaces, evens out an old ceiling, and gives any room a smooth, modern finish. KL Servis Rumah provides flat plaster ceiling installation across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, from RM 10 per sq ft.
What is a flat plaster ceiling?
It is a single-level ceiling built with gypsum board on a metal frame, finished with a smooth skim coat ready for painting. There are no stepped levels or grooves — just a clean, even surface.
Why choose a flat ceiling?
- Clean, modern look — smooth and even, matching most modern interior styles.
- Hides imperfections — covers cracks, stains, and uneven old ceilings.
- Conceals wiring — hides lighting and electrical cables above.
- Simple and cost-effective — the most affordable plaster ceiling option.
The installation process
- Measurement and marking — we measure the area and mark the ceiling level.
- Framework — metal framing is installed level and evenly spaced.
- Board installation — gypsum boards are fixed to the framework.
- Jointing and skim — joints are taped, filled, and skimmed smooth.
- Sanding — the surface is sanded for a paint-ready finish.
How much does a flat ceiling cost?
A flat plaster ceiling starts from RM 10 per sq ft. The final cost depends on ceiling area, the condition of the existing surface, whether downlight holes are required, and access.
