• A false ceiling, also known as a dropped ceiling or suspended ceiling, is a secondary ceiling that is installed below the main structural ceiling. It creates a space between the two ceilings that can be used for concealing electrical wiring, air conditioning ducts, and other infrastructure elements, as well as for aesthetic purposes.

Common materials include gypsum boards, mineral fiber tiles, PVC panels, and aluminum tiles. Each material has its own set of benefits, such as ease of installation, durability, and resistance to moisture.

False ceilings offer several benefits, including improved acoustics, better insulation, a neat and clean appearance by concealing wires and ducts, and the ability to incorporate lighting fixtures and other design elements seamlessly.
