Advantages of suspended ceiling over ceiling with fixed or permanent features are:
1. Easy installation of the suspended grid system for the ceiling tiles to place onto it. Ceiling tiles come with the painting and surface finishing done. For ceiling with fixed features like plaster ceiling, there are still mudding, sandpapering and painting work to be done after the installation of the ceiling board.
2. Easy replacement of ceiling tiles that are damaged by water leaking. And ceiling tiles are easily and readily available, thus making the replacement job very D-I-Y.
3. Easy access to repair work of wiring, piping and ducting above the ceiling grid as the ceiling tiles can be easily removed or taken down.
4. Suspended ceiling is ideal for rooms with bathrooms / toilets overhead which comes with underlying plumbing / piping. A suspended ceiling under this situation where leaking takes place will save the customers a lot of time and money in the repair work.
5. Function as a better sound barrier.
