Ceiling Materials

A ceiling covers the upper interior surface of a room and conceals structural elements above. Common ceiling types include dropped ceilings that are suspended below structural elements, allowing for ducts and insulation. Ceilings can be decorated and come in styles like cathedral, barrel-shaped, stretched, and coffered. False ceilings provide insulation and an attractive appearance while concealing wiring and fixtures between the main ceiling and room.
