WHY FUNGI/MOLDS GROWS ON CEILING


So many house owners have worries about why fungi grows on their POP ceiling. Are you also worried about this?

Well, here’s your answer! Fungi/mold growth on your ceiling does not actually mean a bad job has been delivered but it reveals how professional and experienced the POP plasterer is.

As a professional in this field of interior design or ceiling (P.O.P) Installation, you should know why fungi/mold would grow on a job you insert much effort to make perfect.



CEILING DAMPNESS: Fungi and molds grow well on damp surfaces, find measures to make sure your ceiling dries up quickly.

ROOF LEAKS: Constant drops of water can cause dampness of ceiling and trigger the growth of fungi/molds. Before installation of the ceiling make sure all roof holes and leaks are well covered and repaired.

HIGH HUMIDITY: A P.O.P ceiling kept under high humidity will take longer time to dry, this will trigger the growth of fungi.

BAD VENTILATION: After a job well done, it is better to keep ceiling (P.O.P) open to a good ventilation, open doors and windows to allow ceiling dry quickly.

OIL SPILLAGE: Oil Spillage on ceiling (P.O.P) will dampen the ceiling and cause growth of fungi and molds.

ADEQUATE SUNLIGHT: The most effective way to dry your ceiling (P.O.P) fast is by exposing it to enough sunlight rays. This will reduce the chances of fungi and mold growth.

FILAS: Filas is one of the important materials in the installation of a POP ceiling. As a professional POP plasterer, you should be aware that some filas dry slower than others and using such filas will prolong the drying process of a ceiling (P.O.P). Thus, it’s imperative to get quality materials for a project.

PAINTING: It is highly recommended that all surfaces should get dry before any painting coat is applied on your ceiling or P.O.P boards. Painting a wet or damp ceiling can allow the growth of fungi and molds on the surface.
