In simple terms, a false ceiling is a fitted ceiling that hangs below the original ceiling of a room or home. It’s usually suspended by wooden or metal frames and the illusion it brings of a lower ceiling.
The main reason to install a false ceiling is for concealment. In many properties, most of the electrical wiring and plumbing pipes are built into the concrete subfloor and inside the walls. If you install air-conditioning, more ducting needs to run along your ceiling. And, if you add more lighting points, you need to add even more wires along the ceiling. Finally, if you want to add a ceiling fan, you need to hang it from the concrete subfloor. This makes the ceiling a busy place, full of electrical wiring for fans and lights, ducting for air conditioning units, and plumbing pipes. False ceilings are used to hide all these things. But, a false ceiling can do much more than just hide things. It can be used to improve the overall interior design of any room.
