Suspended ceilings fixed below the main existing ceiling act as second ceiling and are used for hiding ductwork and piping etc. They are generally attached and suspended on wires from the ceiling above and are laid out in a grid where tiles are fitted in. Many materials can be used for making suspended ceilings and wood is one of them.
You could install lighting arrangement and air ducts etc. after the suspended ceilings have been fixed. They are mostly used to provide cover to all such work and can easily accommodate air ducts too. Suspended ceilings provide space for having insulation to absorb heat and sound.
Suspended ceilings are also employed so that maintenance may be continued in the gap created while the ceiling is installed.
While designing a suspending ceiling you need to define if you like it to be demountable or remain inaccessible. If you make you suspended ceilings demountable then this will allow you to easily access the ceiling void and perform maintenance on the ceiling or on other objects that the ceiling is concealing. It’s not difficult to understand that a non accessible design makes it too difficult to approach the void for carrying any maintenance work.
The above feature needs your serious consideration as the ceiling will have to be remade if on second thoughts you decide too alter its design from a non-accessible to the demountable one .
Keeping the same concept in mind, it’s possible to have different designs of such ceilings to suit your requirements. For instance corridors are usually provided with a free span suspend ceiling system. This kind of system is made up of ceiling planks which are held by the perimeter trim on their short edges. This kind of system can be installed quickly and pretty easily, also it can produce a very nice effect when finished which is usually smooth. You can have such a ceiling with demountable design or the non-accessible kind with the demountable type you can remove the planks to access maintenance needs.
One very flexible design of suspended ceiling that can be matched with almost any type of building architecture is known as band raster system. This is a flexible design of suspended ceiling in the sense that you can have in either of the non-accessible or demountable design. The design of these suspended ceilings can have concealed or exposed sections that link up to attain lateral bracing enabling these systems to be modified to fit any building.
