What is a tray ceiling?

A tray ceiling, also referred to as an inverted or recessed ceiling, has a central portion that is higher than the surrounding edges. This creates a tray-like effect, adding depth and architectural interest to the space. Tray ceilings are one of the most widely used ceilings that are installed in residential and commercial interiors to improve the height and enhance sophistication. Aluminum ceiling panels are an impressive option for tray ceilings. Aluminum panels can be tailored in multiple finishes, textures, and colors to create modern or traditional designs. They also knit in lighting, ventilation and acoustics, layering functionality onto aesthetics.” Aluminum tray ceilings are also moisture and corrosion-resistant, making them a durable and low-maintenance solution. Tray ceilings add sophistication to any room in the house, and are especially great for dining rooms, offices, and lobbies.
