INTRODUCTION
 A DROPPED CEILING IS A SECONDARY CEILING, HUNG BELOW THE MAIN
(STRUCTURAL) CEILING.
 THEY MAY ALSO BE REFERRED TO AS A DROP CEILING, FALSE CEILING, OR
SUSPENDED CEILING, AND ARE A STAPLE OF MODERN CONSTRUCTION AND
ARCHITECTURE.
 THE AREA ABOVE THE DROPPED CEILING IS CALLED THE PLENUM SPACE, AS IT
IS SOMETIMES USED FOR HAVOC AIR RETURN. THE PLENUM SPACE IS ALSO
VERY COMMONLY USED TO CONCEAL PIPING, WIRING, AND/ OR DUCTWORK.
 A TYPICAL DROPPED CEILING CONSISTS OF A GRID-WORK OF METAL CHANNELS
IN THE SHAPE OF AN UPSIDE-DOWN “T”, SUSPENDED ON WIRES FROM THE
OVERHEAD STRUCTURE.
 THESE CHANNELS SNAP TOGETHER IN A REGULARLY SPACED PATTERN –
TYPICALLY A 2x2 OR 2x4 FOOT GRID IN THE US, OR 600x600mm GRID IN EUROPE
(THIS IS THE MODULAR SIZE OF THE GRID, THE TILES ARE ACTUALLY 595x595mm
OR 595x1195mm).
PURPOSE
 IT IMPROVES AESTHETICAL APPEARENCE (FORM, COLOUR, TREATMENT etc.) &
PROPORTIONS BY MANAGING ROOM HEOGHTS HIDES ELECTRICAL CABLING &
PROVIDES SPACE FOR RECESSED LLIGHTS.
 AIR-CONDITIONING – HIDES DUCTING & REDUCES THE VOLUME OF ROOM, UGLY
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS LIKE BEAMS, etc THAT USUALLY SPOIL THE ‘LOOK’ OF
THE ROOM ARE CONCEALED/ CAMOUFLAGED.
 PROVIDES INSULATION FROM HEAT.
 ACOUSTICAL IMPROVEMENT.
 SOUNDPROOF ROOMS SUCH AS MEETING ROOMS, AUDITORIUMS, etc, WHICH
REQUIRE A QUIT ENVIORNMENT
 AS A DESIGN ELEMENT

COMPONENTS OF FALSE CEILING

 HANGING PIPE
 EXPLOSIVE BOLT
 MAIN KEEL
 FRAME KEEL
 SQUARE PANEL
 WALL ANGLE
 38 MAIN KEEL
 ADVANTAGES
 IT IS EASY TO INSTALL.
 IT HIDES THE DUCT WORK, PIPES &
ELECTRICAL WIRES GIVING THE CEILING
A CLUTTER FREE NEAT & CLEAN LOOK.
 IT IS EASY TO REASSEMBLE THE PANELS
IN CASE OF REPAIR WORKS.
 PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ACOUSTICS &
SOUND ABSORPTION DESIGNED IN SUCH
A WAY, THAT IT ADDS TO NOISE
REDUCTION THUS, MAKING THE SPACE
QUIT.
 IT IS ECONOMICAL TO INSTALL A FALSE
CEILING THAN TO GET THE ENTIRE
CEILING RENOVATED.
 IT CAN PROVE TO BE ENERGY EFFICIENT
TOO.
DISADVANTAGES
 REDUCES HEIGHT OF ROOM BY
SEVERAL INCHES OR FEET.
 REQUIRES FREQUENT
MAINTENANCE & DOES NOT HAVE
LONG LIFE.
 ARE NOT AS SOLID AS TRADITIONAL
CEILINGS, ESPECIALLY DURING
NATURAL CALAMITIES LIKE
EARTHQUAKES.
 SAGGING IS POSSIBLE.
 IT GETS DECOLOURED/ STAINED
AFTER FEW YEARS.
 TYPES OF FALL CEILING
 SUSPENDED CEILING ARE A TYPE OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENT USED IN
COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.
 THEY ARE CREATED USING METAL GRID SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE SUSPENDED BELOW THE
CEILING OR ROOF DECK USING A SERIES OF WIRES.
 THE GRID IS THEN FILLED IN WITH CEILING TILES, WHICH ARE PRIMARILY MADE FROM
MINERAL FIBER BLENDS.

EXPOSED GRID CONCEALED GRID

 MOST COMMON TYPE OF SUSPENDED
CEILING.
 CONSIST OF LONG METAL STRIPS,
CALLED “MAINS”, INTERCONNECTED
WITH SHORTER METAL PIECES KNOWN
AS “TEES”.
 TOGETHER, THE MAINS AND TEES
FORM A GRID SYSTEM, WHICH ARE
THEN FILLED WITH ACOUSTICAL
CEILING TILES.
 THIS SYSTEMS USE THE ACOUSTICAL TILES
TO HIDE THE GRID SYSTEM FROM VIEW.
 THIS CREATES A SMOOTH, CLEAN WHICH IS
AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
 THE TILE USED HAS A SMALL GROOVE
BUILT INTO IT’S PERIMETER, WHICH SLIDES
OVER THE MAINS AND TEES TO COVER
THEM.
 DIFFICULT FOR MAINTAENANCE TO ACCESS
AREAS ABOVE THE CEILING.
TYPES OF FALSE CEILING (PROFILES)
 VISIBLE PROFILE CEILING
 CONCEALED CEILING
 STRIP CEILING
 PANEL CEILNG

VISIBLE PROFILE CEILING

 IN THIS VERY COMMON SYSTEM PROFILES ARE ALWAYS VISIBLE.
 CEILING TILES REST ON THE PROFILES AND ARE IN MOST CASES MADE FROM A MINERAL
MATERIAL.
 THE TWO STANDARD MODULE SIZES ARE 300mm AND 3125mm.
 THE MOST POPULAR TILES IN THIS TYPE OF CEILING ARE FOR CEILING GRIDS OF 600x600mm
AND 600x1200mm.
 IN THIS TYPE OF CEILING, LUMINARIES WILL BE MOUNTED AS AN INLAY.
 STRIP CEILING
 THIS CEILING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF MAIN CARRIERS ON
WHICH METAL STRIPS ARE CLICKED.
 THEY HAVE VARIOUS WIDTHS.
 LUMINARIES ARE USUALLY MOUNTED IN LINE WITH THE
STRIPS AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE MAIN CARRIERS.
 IN THAT CASE, A LENGTH PROFILE MOUNTED TO BE THE
SIDE OF THE LUMINARIES IS REQUIRED, OR SUSPENSION
BRACKETS AT THE HEAD OF THE LUMINARIES WHEN THE
LUMINARIES FITS IN EXACTLY BETWEEN TWO MAIN
CARRIERS.

PANEL CEILING
 PANELS ARE MOUNTED BETWEEN THE MAIN CARRIERS. IN THIS TYPE OF CEILING, METAL
AND MINERAL PANELS ARE USED.
 FOR PROFILE A, THE LUMINARIES CAN BE MPOUNTED AS AN INLAY. SAFETY BRACKETS CAN
BE DELIVERED ON REQUEST WITH THE LUMINARIES.
 WHEN PROFILE B IS USED, BRACKETS ARE REQUIRED ANMD MUST BE ORDERED
SEPERATELY.
 ALSO A 100% COPY OF THE CEILING TILE CAN BE USED WITH INTEGRATED LUMINARIES.
TYPES OF FALSE CEILING (MATERIALS)
 GYPSUM BOARD FALSE CEILING
 METAL CEILING PANELS
 FIBREBOARED AND FIBRE/MINRAL REINFORCED TILES
 P.O.P. FALSE CEILING
 PLYWOOD FALSE CEILING
 E-BOARD FALSE CEILING
 ALLUMINIUM CEILING
 ARMSTRONG TILES FALSE CEILING
 GYPSUM FALSE CEILING
o THE VERY NATURE OF LIGHT GYPSUM-PLASTER MAKES IT AN ECOLOGICAL AND NON-
POLLUTING MATERIAL.
o ITS OUTSTANDING INSULATION AND HYGROMETRIC CONTROL PROPERTIES, TOGETHER
WITH ITS EXTRAORDINARY REACTION TO FIRE, MAKE IT AN IRREPLACEABLE MATERIAL IN
MODERN BUILDING TECHNIQUES.
o THE BIOCLIMATIC PROPERTIES ALLOW US TO PROVIDES PRACTICAL AND SAFE
SUSPENDED CEILING WHICH GREATLY ENHANCE THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
o FURTHERMORE, ITS AESTHETICAL PROPERTIES INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE
BUILDINGS IT IS INSTALLED IN. PERHAPS THIS IS WHY LIGHT GYPSUM IS UNIVERSALLY
RECOGNIZED AS A TRULY NOBLE PRODUCT.

PROPERTIES
o A FIRE BARRIER
o CEILINGS THAT SOUND GOOD
o DECORATIVE RELIEFS
o HUMIDITYREGULATOR
