[A REVISAR] False ceiling or technical ceiling?

Whether we talk about a False Ceiling or a Technical Ceiling, we are referring to exactly the same thing: any secondary ceiling suspended from a slab whose basic function is to conceal building services, improve acoustics and enhance the appearance of spaces.

Perhaps the most widespread term is False Ceiling , but it is true that people increasingly speak of a technical ceiling or demountable ceiling , since the word “false” inherently carries the connotation of something imaginary and not real.

Any ceiling included in a project is tangible and forms part of the environment. It provides functionality and plays a key role in the design. Calling it a false ceiling pushes it into the background and gives the impression that it is not being given the importance it deserves as a secondary element. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let us give a very clear example that will dispel any doubts about why there is a growing tendency to replace the term false ceiling with technical ceiling; after all, nobody would think of talking about “false floors” to refer to accessible raised floors, or about false partitions to refer to walls built with plasterboard.

We hope this article has helped to clear up any doubts as to whether a false ceiling and a technical ceilingare the same thing.
