4 Key Benefits Of Suspended Ceilings

A suspended ceiling is a key part of the design and fitting of a truly custom commercial or office space. Whether you have a large space or somewhere more petite, a suspended ceiling can help you get the aesthetic and practicality you need out of your premises.

Whether you’ve just invested in a new space or you want to refresh an existing set-up, suspending ceilings can be a wise addition to your refurbishment or office fit-out.

What are the benefits of a drop ceiling?

A suspended ceiling (also known as a false ceiling or drop ceiling) offers a secondary layer, suspended from the original ceiling structure. 

But why might you want to opt for one?

Improved appearance and aesthetics

A suspended ceiling is a relatively simple way of creating a uniform and pleasing ceiling. Because a drop ceiling is comprised of a grid system attached to the structure of the original ceiling, your false ceiling fitter can insert a variety of custom panels. This gives you control over elements like the ceiling height. You can even choose the material – from plasterboard to metal, you can select the construction that works best for your space.

What’s more, a drop ceiling can conceal unsightly wires and electricals or any of the original ceiling’s imperfections. At the same time, you’ll still be able to easily access the area above the suspended ceiling for any maintenance or repairs.

As expert fitters of suspended ceilings in Bristol, the team at SLP Interiors can create a custom fitted ceiling with an exceptional professional finish.

Bespoke electrical installations

While installing a drop ceiling can hide wires and electricals, it also offers the opportunity to install new, bespoke ones. Whether you have a specific idea for lighting or want to install projectors, it can all be incorporated into your new suspended ceiling.

The space between the new and original ceilings can readily accommodate wiring and pipe work without impacting the outward aesthetic. You could even include fire protection or suppression systems which may be awkward or hazardous to install on the walls and floors.

Optimised acoustics

Good acoustics are beneficial for any business, from commercial workshops and retail units to private or shared offices. Some buildings, particularly those with old or tall ceilings can be less than ideal when it comes to sound absorption or echo reduction.

Suspended ceilings, however, can provide excellent sound insulation and noise absorption – an essential feature for businesses such as call centres. 

Whatever your needs, a custom suspended ceiling fitter can design and install modular ceilings to enhance the acoustics of your space and benefit staff, clients and customers.

Increased energy efficiency

As well as improving acoustics, a suspended ceiling can boost your space’s energy efficiency. Because it reduces the overall height of a room, a false ceiling can reduce the amount of space you need to heat. In turn, this can lower your business’s energy bills.
