Deckenabhängung

Deckenabhängung refers to the method of suspending a suspended ceiling from an existing structural ceiling. This creates a void or plenum between the two ceilings, which can be utilized for various services such as ventilation, lighting, electrical wiring, and plumbing. Suspended ceilings are commonly found in commercial buildings, offices, and public spaces, but are also used in residential settings.

The primary purpose of a deckenabhängung is to conceal building services and to provide a uniform aesthetic finish. It can also contribute to acoustic insulation and fire protection. The suspension system typically consists of a grid of metal or wood framing, attached to the structural ceiling by hangers or cables. This grid then supports the ceiling panels, which can be made of materials like mineral fiber, plasterboard, metal, or wood.

The depth of the plenum created by the deckenabhängung can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the services to be accommodated. Installation requires careful planning and adherence to building codes to ensure structural integrity and safety. Access panels are usually incorporated into the suspended ceiling to allow for maintenance and repair of the services within the plenum. The type of deckenabhängung chosen will depend on factors such as the required load-bearing capacity, aesthetic considerations, and budget.
