Having suspended ceiling is as good as a second ceiling as they are installed beneath the present ceiling, thereby providing space for keeping piping and ductwork out of view. They are generally attached and suspended on wires from the ceiling above and are laid out in a grid where tiles are fitted in. Suspended ceilings can be made with a lot of materials, for example, wood.

You could install lighting arrangement and air ducts etc. after the suspended ceilings have been fixed. They are used a lot to cover up this kind of work anyway so suspended ceilings being installed to cover air ducts can easily be integrated in. Suspended ceilings provide space for having insulation to absorb heat and sound.

They are designed to facilitate maintenance work in the gap that is created in between the two ceilings.

You need to decide at designing stage if the ceiling is going to be demountable or inaccessible. If you make you suspended ceilings demountable then this will allow you to easily access the ceiling void and perform maintenance on the ceiling or on other objects that the ceiling is concealing. If you make your suspended ceiling non accessible then you will not be able to perform ceiling maintenance easily as you will not be able to get into the ceiling void.

You should be very careful at the design stage itself, for if you decide to modify the design from non-accessible type to the other one at a later date, the whole ceiling will have to be remade.

There are many different types of suspended ceilings systems but all are different depending on your requirements yet the concept is the same. For instance the design often employed for corridors is the free span suspended ceiling. Such a design comprises of ceiling planks held together by the perimeter trim on their short edges. The advantage of such a design is that it offers easy and fast installation that looks pretty on getting a smooth finish. This kind of suspended ceiling can have either of the two designs, the demountable type allows the planks to be removed for easy access.

Another suspended ceiling system is the bandraster system; these types of suspended ceilings are very flexible and can be made to match with any kind of building architecture. This is a flexible design of suspended ceiling in the sense that you can have in either of the non-accessible or demountable design. These suspended ceiling are design with either concealed or exposed sections which link up to achieve lateral bracing, therefore these systems can be modified to fit any building.
