The humble ceiling, the horizontal surface that forms the upper boundary of a room.

In this short article we look at property terminology and particular 'The Ceiling'

It's the top cover or closing of a space. Ceilings can be made of various materials, such as plaster, wood, or concrete. 

They serve many purposes, including providing insulation, reducing noise, and protecting the room from fire and water damage. 

In architecture, the ceiling is often an important design element and can be decorated with intricate patterns, moldings, and even frescoes or murals. 

Ceilings can also be functional, such as in the case of suspended ceilings in offices, which can be easily removed to access pipes, wires, and other building systems. 

So let's hear it for the ceiling the next time you look up and think about all the different roles it plays in your home or work place
