drop ceiling
Lowered interior overhead
A drop ceiling is a secondary ceiling suspended below the main structural ceiling, creating a gap that conceals wiring, ductwork, and pipes while allowing easy access to them.
The ceiling typically consists of lightweight panels resting in a metal grid framework.
Also called a suspended ceiling or false ceiling.
Common in offices, schools, and basements: We lifted a drop ceiling tile to run the cable.
