A drop ceiling is a ceiling that consists of a series of interlocking tiles that can be lowered to conceal cables, pipes, or other unsightly features. The minimum height for a drop ceiling is typically 8 feet.
A drop ceiling is a type of suspended ceiling. They are made up of a series of metal panels that hang from the ceiling joists and are attached to a suspension system that hold them in place. The minimum height for a drop ceiling is 7' 6", but most ceilings are 8' or higher, so you would need to have a special situation in order to require a lower height. For example, if you were putting in a dropped ceiling in a room with cathedral ceilings, the minimum height would be 7' 6".
