drop ceilings
Office overhead tiles
Drop ceilings are secondary ceilings suspended below the main structural ceiling, creating a gap that hides ductwork, wiring, and pipes.
They typically consist of a metal grid holding lightweight panels that can be lifted out for access to utilities above.
Also called suspended ceilings or false ceilings.
Common in offices, basements, and commercial spaces: The fluorescent lights fit into the drop ceiling grid.
