Types of CEILING by CONSTRUCTION

EXPOSED CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING
CEILING
EXPOSED CEILING
Is not covered by any ceiling panels or tiles. This means that exposed or open ceiling leave
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations exposed.
CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING
A ceiling suspended from an overhead floor or roof structure to provide space for pipes, ductwork, lighting
or other service equipment.

PLENUM
The space between a suspended ceiling and the floor structure above, esp one that serves as a receiving
chamber for conditioned air to be distributed to inhabited.
CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING :WOOD CONSTRUCTION
Is an additional ceiling that hangs below the structural ceiling above and offers a lot of benefits like concealing
MEPFs that can affect aesthetics of interior. Wood ceiling frames are also relatively sturdy and can support
heavier ceiling panels like veneers and classical ceramic ceiling tiles and lighting devices such as chandeliers.
CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING :WOOD CONSTRUCTION
However, due to its weight, wooden ceiling frames have become less popular especially with the advent of
light metal framing for ceiling. Professional builders also pointed out that ceilings should be a lesser
contributor to dead load of the building.
CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING :ACOUSTICAL CEILING
A ceiling of acoustical tile or other sound absorbing material.

EXPOSED GRID RECESSED GRID CONCEALED GRID

CEILING
SUSPENDED CEILING :LIGHT METAL FRAMING
Contemporary construction approach to ceiling which light metal frames like furring, wall
angles and channels carry the ceiling panels.

The overheard interior surface or lining of a room, often concealing the underside of the floor or roof
above.

Types of CEILING by DESIGN

FLAT/CONVENTIONAL CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILING
COFFERED/LACUNAR CEILING
COVE/D CEILING
VAULTED CEILING
BEAM/ED CEILING
DOMED VAULT CEILING
CEILING
FLAT/CONVENTIONAL CEILING
Ceiling designs that are plain and flat – and are usually between 2.4m to 2.7m high and can fit with typical
construction material sizing. Although more readily accessible, a room can feel closed-in if the ceilings are too
low. Upgrading its material can make flat ceilings more interesting and delicate to look at.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS
Are multi-level ceilings – they start from one height, then drop as you add levels. The central part of the
ceiling is higher than the rest of the portion of the ceiling.

Classical tray ceilings are framed with cornices, carvings and moldings per level to enhance borders,
giving a framed effect.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

A multi-tiered tray ceiling gives the impression of height and luxury, adding fine carpentry details to the
overall interior design. It also highlights the center light or chandelier if it contains one.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

For ceiling accents, some tray ceiling’s flat portion is accentuated with different color from its frame portion
or use different materials.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

Contemporary tray ceiling have grooves the run along the periphery of the tray’s recess and holds LED
strip lights or tube lights so as to create a dramatic effect where the source of illumination is not visible.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

Others install a reversed platform of different material or painted with different colors for accents, creating
a channel effect which is sometimes lighted with LED strips.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

Neo-classical tray ceilings are tray ceilings with classical elements such as cornices and moldings,
dropped from the flat portion of the ceiling to create a channel or groove where light sources like LED
strips are kept from eyesight, creating a dramatic effect of contemporary light methods.
CEILING
TRAY/RECESSED CEILINGS

Tray ceilings can also be polygonal or contoured with the segments of the floorplan just like the examples
above.
CEILING
COFFER/ED CEILING
One of a number of recessed, usually square or octagonal panels in a ceiling, soffit, or vault. Also called caisson
or lacunar.
CEILING
COFFER/ED CEILING
LACUNAR is a ceiling, soffit, or vault adorned with a pattern of recessed panels.

Coffering method used in antiquity.

CEILING
COFFER/ED CEILING
Like tray ceilings, coffered
ceilings can have variety of
materials used. Flat ceiling
portions can be of different
paint color or materials than
its beam frames.
CEILING
COFFER/ED CEILING
Some classical coffering use elaborate motifs on the moldings.
Others use floral motifs like radial fleuron to add ornamentation.
CEILING
COVED CEILING
A ceiling having a cove.
Cove is a concave surface forming part of a ceiling at
its edge so as to eliminate the usual interior angle
between the wall and the ceiling.
CEILING
COVED CEILING

Coved ceiling framing contains rounded curved frames

where the sheathing or cladding will be fastened.
CEILING
COVED CEILING
Types of Cove Ceiling transitions:
Top Reveal Bottom Reveal Bottom & Top Reveal

Framed Corniced Seamless

CEILING
COVED CEILING

Coved ceilings with cornices to hide the light sources of LED strips.
Some cornices are designed with classical elements of concave,
convex, and dentils.
CEILING
COVED CEILING

Coved ceilings can be creatively painted with different painting

techniques or can be cladded with wall papers.
CEILING
COVED CEILING

Coving can also be used to frame another

ceiling type to be highlighted.
CEILING
VAULTED CEILING
Vaulted ceilings are any elevated ceiling which is also an
umbrella term for elevated ceilings. It consists of a self-
supporting arch between the walls and roof. Vaulted
ceilings draw the eye upward in a room, emphasizing a
large amount of open space that can make a room feel
airier and more spacious.

There are different specific vaulted ceilings namely:

SHED CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
CAMP CEILING
BARREL CEILING
GROIN CEILING

With this, vaulted ceilings may have exposed frames or

concealed frames, depending on the designer.
CEILING
SHED CEILING
Is the simplest type of vaulted
ceilings. Shed ceilings are typically
found on the top of a home, either in
the attic or loft. Creating a distinct
look for the space, a shed ceiling will
begin at a high point at one wall, then
slopes down toward the opposite wall.
They can be steep of subtle. It
tropicalization, the high part of the
ceiling is elevated sufficiently to add a
row of ribbon clerestory which adds a
lot of light to the space.
CEILING
SHED CEILING
Design-wise, shed ceilings can be cladded with the same material as the walls (right) or
accentuate with other materials or paint color (left).
CEILING
SHED CEILING
Shed ceilings can also be comprised of exposed rafters or faux
beams either to break the monotony of the ceiling or make it as
the accenting element of the space.
CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
Cathedral ceilings are symmetrical in design. Each side is similar length and meets in the center creating an
apex. It’s a classic look and typically looks fabulous.
CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
Cathedral ceiling may be a supporting element of the space highlighting the floor or accent wall or of an
interesting surface to look at.
CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
Some designers highlight the cathedral ceilings thru its cladding material such as wood or paint is differently
from its walls.
CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
Like any other vaulted ceilings, cathedral ceiling may expose
its rafters or trusses that adds up to the drama of the room.
CEILING
CATHEDRAL CEILING
Coving and lighting may also aid the dominance upon
of the cathedral ceiling over the space, producing soft
lights which is recommended bedrooms.
CEILING
CAMP CEILING
A ceiling having the form of a truncated pyramid.
Also pyramidal ceiling.
CEILING
CAMP/PYRAMIDAL CEILING
Pyramidal ceilings are often used to centralize the room and add height to the space. Most of its
materials are made of wood.
CEILING
CAMP/PYRAMIDAL CEILING
It can also be in the form of exposed rafters or trusses.
CEILING
CAMP/PYRAMIDAL CEILING
Some designers topped it with tray or flat ceilings or
skylights.
CEILING
CAMP/PYRAMIDAL CEILING
A combination of tray ceiling
and camp ceiling imposes an
important portion of space
below it like dining area, kitchen
island or center of living area.
CEILING
CAMP/PYRAMIDAL CEILING
Coving may also be applied to the periphery of the ceiling to
hide the light source producing soft ambient lighting.
CEILING
BARREL CEILING
A vaulted ceiling that is semicircular in cross section and resembles a segment of a barrel. It is a
decorative ceiling that are used to soften the edges of a room and, in some cases make it appear larger.
CEILING
BARREL CEILING
Barrel ceilings are often used in hallways and foyers to make it appear larger and give a sense of
direction, thanks to the wooden joints parallel to the walls.
CEILING
BARREL CEILING
Accenting barrel ceilings makes it more evoking, aiding the widening illusion of the space.
CEILING
BARREL CEILING
Designers may also play the lighting drama of a barrel ceiling by combining it with tray or cove ceilings.
CEILING
GROIN CEILING
Is a ceiling with four curving surfaces
that draw the eye up and toward the
center, resulting from two barrel
vaults intersecting at right angels.
CEILING
GROIN CEILING

BEAM CEILING
Is one which features exposed joists and
beams. Beam ceilings create visual interest
and bring individual flair to spaces. Beam
ceilings are generally exposed ceiling type.
CEILING
BEAM CEILING
There are two types of beam ceilings, the single-way beam
ceiling and two-way beam ceiling. Single-way have elongated
rectangular ceiling panels to hide the roof or floor above it –
also serves as insulations. Two-way have almost square ceiling
panels shaped by the main beam and cross beams.
CEILING
BEAM CEILING
Exposing wood floor framing is a method of beam ceiling approach.
However interesting to look at, it has some sound issues when not
installed well. Roughing-ins of lighting devices will also be exposed.
Bridging also adds up to design elements.
CEILING
BEAM CEILING
Some designers opt to install faux beam instead of authentic
beam. This is to add design element on flat ceilings.
CEILING
BEAM CEILING
Shed, cathedral and camp ceilings with exposed
rafters are also considered to be beam ceilings.
CEILING
DOME CEILING
Is a spherical ceiling that rise like a dome or
