In Brazil, 'forro' (false/suspended ceiling) is very popular in residential and commercial spaces for aesthetic and practical reasons. Ceiling installation services are common in major urban centers like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In the USA, drop ceilings and suspended ceiling installations are standard in commercial buildings for acoustic and climate control purposes. The terminology differs slightly between Brazil (instalação de teto/forro) and Portugal, with the Brazilian market showing more preference for false ceiling systems.
