Final CSIPF of False Ceilings and Their Applications

A typical ceiling doesn’t attract much attention – they’re often so uninteresting that people don’t even take note of what’s going on overhead. Ceilings are easy to forget, until you experience one that stands out. False ceilings are the perfect solutions to give your space real character in an efficient system. They are critical elements in creating a mood in the space while also masking flaws, and creating dramatic impressions. They are installed below the original ceiling of the room and are used for temperature control, light installation, concealing MEP fixtures, and of course, acoustics.
