Armstrong Suspension Ceilings

A dropped ceiling is often a secondary ceiling, hung below the main (structural) ceiling, although can be the only ceiling. They may also be referred to as a drop ceiling, false ceiling, or suspended ceiling, and are a staple of modern construction and architecture. The area above the dropped ceiling is called the plenum space, as it is sometimes used for HVAC air return. The plenum space is also very commonly used to conceal piping, wiring, and/or ductwork.
