What it is

Suspended (grid) ceilings use removable tiles, so services above are easy to reach. They are common in offices and shops, less so in homes.

Key points

  • Exposed or concealed grid
  • Removable mineral or metal tiles
  • Easy access to wiring above
  • Good for offices and shops

Why it matters

For homes, a gypsum false ceiling usually looks better; grid ceilings suit commercial floors.

How Elamentt handles it

For commercial buildings we can use grid ceilings where easy access matters.
