PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
The minimum distance for a suspended ceiling typically ranges between 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm) from the structural ceiling. This space accommodates electrical wiring, HVAC ducts, or insulation while maintaining accessibility for maintenance. Aluminum suspended ceilings are ideal for tight spaces due to their slim profiles and lightweight grid systems. For specialized applications (e.g., acoustic or thermal insulation), the gap can be adjusted to optimize performance. Always consult building codes and ensure adequate clearance for utilities.
