Ripplaega

Ripplaega is a term used to describe a specific type of ceiling construction. It refers to a suspended ceiling system where panels are hung from an underlying framework, creating a void between the structural ceiling and the suspended ceiling. This void is often used for housing building services such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and ventilation ducts. The panels themselves can be made from a variety of materials including mineral fiber, metal, wood, or gypsum, and are typically designed to be easily removable for access to the services above. The term "ripplaega" is not a widely recognized or standard architectural term in English. It may be a term used in a specific region or a less common translation. The primary function of such a ceiling is to conceal unsightly building components while providing a finished aesthetic and facilitating maintenance. The installation process involves attaching a grid system of metal runners to the existing ceiling or walls, and then the ceiling panels are clipped or laid into this grid. Acoustic properties are often a consideration in the choice of panel material, with some types offering sound absorption or insulation. The ease of installation and maintenance makes ripplaega a popular choice in commercial, institutional, and sometimes residential settings.
