What is one component of suspended ceilings?

One component of suspended ceilings is cross tees. In a suspended ceiling system, cross tees are used to create a grid layout that supports the ceiling tiles or panels. They run perpendicular to the main tees and help to provide a structural framework that allows for easy installation and adjustment of the ceiling tiles.

Cross tees also contribute to the overall aesthetics and functionality of the ceiling by ensuring that the tiles fit securely and remain level. This system also allows for easy access to infrastructure such as ductwork or electrical wiring that may be hidden above the ceiling.

In addition, wall angles and ceiling joists play their own roles in a ceiling installation but are not components of a suspended ceiling framework in the same way that cross tees are. Wall angles serve to support the grid along the perimeter of the room, while ceiling joists are structural elements that support the overhead load of the ceiling itself but do not form part of the suspended grid structure. Drywall sheets are typically used for traditional ceiling installations rather than suspended ones.
