False Ceiling Types

False ceilings are aesthetically pleasing.


False ceilings are used for a variety of reasons, such as hiding lighting and wires or creating an artistic appearance in the home. Regardless of the reason, knowing the false ceiling types and options makes determining the appropriate ceiling type for a personal project simpler.


Full False Ceiling


A full false ceiling is a false ceiling that covers the entire length and breadth of the ceiling. The false ceiling is commonly used and connects at all four sides to the wall to drop down from the ceiling. It does not have a stylish appearance or difference from the real ceiling; it serves purposes like hiding wires or lighting.


Exposed Beams


Exposed beams, or similar styles where wooden beams, metal beams or the structure the home is built upon are exposed is a type of false ceiling. The actual ceiling is above the false ceiling and is seen peaking through the beams, but the beams are lower and create an appearance of a ceiling. These are aesthetic and do not usually serve any purpose beyond the aesthetic appeal and style.


Half Ceiling


A half ceiling is sometimes referred to as a part ceiling or a detached ceiling. It is not always covered with an actual ceiling or might only be covered in part by the actual ceiling. It is primarily used for lighting up specific areas, such as an artistic display or a showroom and does not cover the full length and breadth of the actual ceiling. In some cases, there is no actual ceiling.
