The ceiling of a porch is often overlooked. If you have a well-designed porch ceiling, your home's exterior will have more drama and appeal to potential buyers.

What is a POP Plus Minus Design?

How is POP Plus-Minus Design Made?

POP Plus-minus designs are characterised by embossed structures on surfaces as opposed to flat and level structures that we come across. These are made using intricate Plaster of Paris work.
