Results for tag: "Dropped Ceiling"

A dropped ceiling, also known as a suspended ceiling, is a type of building material used to create a secondary ceiling below the main ceiling. It is typically used in commercial and industrial buildings, but can also be used in residential settings. Dropped ceilings are typically made of lightweight materials such as plastic, metal, or wood, and are suspended from the main ceiling by metal grids. The grids are then covered with ceiling tiles, which can be made of a variety of materials, including fiberglass, mineral fiber, and metal. Dropped ceilings are used for a variety of reasons, including to hide wiring, pipes, and ductwork, to reduce noise, and to improve the acoustics of a room. They can also be used to create a more aesthetically pleasing look, as the tiles can be painted or decorated with patterns. The dropped ceiling market is a large and growing one, with many companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include Armstrong World Industries, USG Corporation, CertainTeed, and Hunter Douglas. Other companies, such as Knauf, Rockfon, and OWA, also offer a range of dropped ceiling products. Show Less Read more
