5 Reasons to Choose a Suspended Ceiling

When it comes to suspended ceilings, also known as a drop-down ceiling, clients may find them to be aesthetically unappealing and a nuisance; however, they offer many benefits unlike regular popcorn or drywall ceilings. 

Best Access Doors shares the benefits of this versatile and cost-friendly ceiling choice – along with access panels that can complement it as well. No matter where a suspended ceiling is installed, residential or commercial, there are benefits both client and contractor. Saving space and adding value is what the suspended or drop-down ceiling has to offer.

Quick and Easy Installation

Time is money, and when it comes to building projects, depending on the choice of material, it can be both costly and time-consuming. A suspended ceiling is one that is not only easy to install but is time efficient as well. As suspended ceilings need to be installed professionally, contractors know that it is all left to set the time and date, after which the contractors can professionally and with minimal disruption install the metal railings to hold the panels in place. 

With the installation of suspended ceilings, if there needs to be any additional paneling, insulation or even the installation of an access panel – an experienced installer can do so with confidence and ease. 

Create Easy Access 

One of the most significant benefits of suspended ceilings is that they are designed so that one can gain access to spaces behind the panels. While some would argue the panels of a suspended ceiling are unappealing aesthetically, they are able to high pipes, plumbing and other building components that need to access sporadically if not routinely. 

The flexibility with suspended ceilings means that one only has to push up and aside to see what is happening between panel and foundation. Once maintenance or repairs are done the panels are put back in place as though nothing has happened.

Soundproof Ceilings 

Typical ceilings are done with the use of drywall or plasterboards – with these materials to enhance soundproofing extra insulation needs to be installed. With a suspended ceiling, the sound radiating from the floors above is actually minimized because of the material of the panels itself. The thickness of the panels will enhance soundproofing and even if another layer of insulation such as fiberglass was to be installed between the panel and the floor above – soundproofing means sounds absorbed in panels and insulation.

Bacteria and Mold Resistant 

Depending on the location that suspended ceilings are installed they are a toke of choice in areas that are high in humidity and moisture build up. Suspended ceilings are resistant to, bacteria, mold and bacteria build-up making it a choice ceiling for kitchen, bathrooms and high-density places. With suspended ceilings, should there be any damage or issues, they can be easily replaced with another panel – whereas, drywall or plaster ceilings need to be removed entirely, and redone. Not only is this approach time consuming but it can be must costlier as well.
