Ceiling helps to create a cage of separation between spaces, they also control the diffusion of sound and light around the room and does not let sound pass from one room to another. A ceiling has fire resistant properties and may also accommodate building services such as vents, lightning, sprinkler heads and more. It also helps in concealing other services such as ducts, pipes and wiring.
Common Types of Ceiling
- Conventional Ceiling: These conventional types of ceilings are commonly found in homes. These have standard drywall finish and are made of material that is of low cost. Installation of conventional ceiling is easy as they are plain, flat and can fit with typical construction material sizing.
- Suspended Ceilings: Suspended ceiling also known as drop ceiling is different from the conventional one. Suspended ceiling is a flat ceiling that is installed below the existing ceiling. These types of ceiling are great for hiding mechanical fixtures and electrical wirings. The ceiling contains acoustic panels and a suspended metal grid.
Suspended ceiling restoration requires accuracy and skills so as to avoid interfering with pipes, wiring, and ductwork.
- Tray Ceiling: The ceiling is named as tray because the central part of the ceiling is higher than the rest of the ceiling and when seen carefully it resembles a large upside-down tray. The ceiling can also be called an inverted or recessed ceiling. It works best in large rooms with high ceilings to create a visual depth in the room. It also provides an opportunity to hang a beautiful chandelier, pendant light or ceiling fan that adds a touch of glamour to the centre.
- Acoustical Ceilings: Acoustic ceiling can be called a subsidiary ceiling that is hung below the structural ceiling so as to make the room look attractive. It is an easy way to fix unappealing rooms and is versatile, durable and cost-effective. They come in different appearances, designs and patterns. Acoustic ceilings are beneficial as they are highly light-reflective and hence save money in utility costs.
- Coffered Ceiling: Generally found in high end homes such as churches, libraries and hotels as it gives a luxurious aesthetic look. It hides all the imperfection and creates the illusion of light. Coffered ceiling tiles are made up of rigid plastic hence are lightweight as compared to standard one and are easy to clean. Also, one of the major benefits of using coffered ceilings is that they are resistant to sagging, mould and mildew.
- Cathedral Ceiling: These are built on the same pitch as the roof. These cathedral ceilings are defined by its symmetry. They are found in large living rooms, dining rooms and even in the master bathroom. They can be made using different materials but linear wood is the best option to use.
