Dropped Ceiling- The Basics

Ceiling dropped De Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia Jump with: navigation, research (suspended Aka) ceiling dropped. (Suspended Aka) ceiling dropped. In the construction industry and architecture, a ceiling dropped, also aimed as a fall or a hanging ceiling, is employed like secondary ceiling formed to hide piping, wiring, or the drain, in a sector called space. To be composed grid-work of the metal channels in the form of "T" to back, suspended on wire of the air structure.

These channels break together in a regularly spaced model - typically a grid of the foot 2x2 or 2x4 in the grid of the USA or 600 X 600 millimetres in Europe - and each cell is filled "with light acoustic ceiling covers tiles" or "panels" which falls simply in the grid. Tiles can be selected with a variety of external textures, and are in general white, but can be painted any color by using the standard latex painting. Assemblies, diffusers of air, and fluorescent light grills of air of return of the same dimension, and the incandescent lights, various electric devices, and the heads water carts are then installed on the grid, like desired.

The ceiling hanging in the beginning was developed to hide the lower part of the floor above and to offer balance and the order acoustics in a room. The acoustic execution of the hanging ceilings improved spectacularly during years, with the increased healthy attenuation of absorption and noise. Generally this is carried out by adding the insulation known under the name of healthy attenuation handles the beater (SABs), aimed like "healthy the beater" the ~ above them handles panels to help to deaden noises and to maintain the rooms adjacent quieter. If the safety of fire is a factor, tiles of ceiling made starting from mineral fibres can be used in the construction industry to meet acceptable standards/estimates. These same tiles can provide additional resistance necessary to meet the "estimate of time" required for the various ones codes fire, the ordinance of city, the advertising film, or other similar payments of construction of buildings.

Another advantage of an abandoned ceiling is that the easy-removed ceiling panels offer the instantaneous access to space, considerably simplifying repairs or changes. A disadvantage with this system of ceiling is reduced space free. The release is required between the grid and any pipes or drain to above install the tiles of ceiling and the assemblies light. Generally a minimum release of eight inches is often necessary between the lowest obstruction and the level of the grid of ceiling.
