What is a suspended ceiling?
Our suspended ceilings in Kent, also known as dropped ceilings or false ceilings are essentially second ceilings. Usually comprised of ceiling tiles and a meal framework, suspended ceilings in Kent feature a gap of between three to eight inches from the underside of the structural ceiling above it.

Suspended ceilings in Kent can commonly be found in:
- Offices

What are the benefits of suspended ceilings in Kent?
We have seen our clients enjoy the benefits of suspended ceilings in Kent first-hand. Here are some of the advantages of suspended ceilings…
Clean, professional finish
Suspended ceilings in Kent work to maintain a clean and professional environment by disguising necessary wires, heating, and ventilation systems. Additionally, suspended ceilings also allow for the installation of light fittings, CCTV, smoke detectors and more.
Improved acoustics
Suspended ceilings in Kent are effective in acting as a sound barrier between floors. This is a great benefit for businesses with lots of footfall and/or communication as well as providing greater levels of privacy. You can also opt for sound-absorbing tiles!
Better insulation
Suspended ceilings in Kent are a fantastic way to enhance the thermal insulation properties of premises. As the overall ceiling height of a room will be reduced, this means that hot air can be ‘trapped’ within a room and won’t be released into the ceiling.
Improved quality of light
Suspended ceilings in Kent can return up to 90% of the light back into space, compared to around 75% for standard ceilings. This is a great benefit for offices in particular as better lighting can reduce eye strain, fatigue and headaches.
Does a suspended ceiling need building regulation approval?
Depending on the scope and complexity of the work required, your suspended ceilings in Kent may need building regulation. When work affects fire escape routes, toilet facilities, insulation, and the structure of the building, they will likely require approval. Contact us for more information.
