False Ceiling

False ceilings are installed below the main ceiling to improve aesthetics, hide ducting, provide insulation and acoustic control. They use a grid system of main tees, cross tees, hangers and wall angles to suspend ceiling tiles. Popular false ceiling materials include POP, gypsum board and mineral fiber. POP sheet sizes available are 2'x3' and 3'x3' while gypsum tiles come in 2'x2' and 4'x6' thicknesses. Installation of false ceilings reduces noise and improves the interior appearance of a room.
