A false ceiling, also known as a dropped or suspended ceiling, is a secondary ceiling structure installed beneath the main structural ceiling of a room. This architectural feature is used for various purposes, including improving aesthetics, enhancing acoustics, concealing wiring and ductwork, and providing space for lighting fixtures and other installations. False ceilings are commonly constructed using materials such as gypsum board, metal panels, or PVC tiles and can be designed in a variety of patterns and finishes to complement the overall interior design of a space. They are a popular choice in both residential and commercial settings for their ability to create a more visually appealing, well-lit, and acoustically comfortable environment while serving functional purposes in concealing and organizing the often unsightly elements above them.
