suspended ceiling
Hung interior overhead
A suspended ceiling is a secondary ceiling hung below the main structural ceiling, creating a gap between them.
The visible surface typically consists of lightweight panels resting in a metal grid framework.
Suspended ceilings hide ductwork, wiring, and pipes while allowing easy access for maintenance.
They also improve acoustics in offices and commercial spaces: The fluorescent lights were recessed into the suspended ceiling.
