dropped ceiling
Grid below rafters
A dropped ceiling is a secondary ceiling suspended below the main structural ceiling, creating a gap between them.
The space typically hides ductwork, wiring, and pipes while allowing easy access for maintenance.
Most dropped ceilings use a grid of metal tracks holding removable panels: The fluorescent lights were set into the dropped ceiling.
Common in offices and commercial buildings.
