Desirability
In commercial and industrial settings, dropped ceilings allow the obscuring of fittings above the ceiling while allowing access at any time. Drop ceilings may also be used in settings where obscuring fittings or the actual ceiling itself is desirable when wanting to hide problems, such as structural damage. Older, white panels combined with fluorescent lighting are common in many offices, and considered utilitarian, if not unpleasant by some people. More expensive, modern dropped ceiling styles are gaining popularity. Manufacturers are creating suspended ceilings that are designed to be independent from the exterior walls and just be hung from the soffit; resulting in an aesthetically pleasing look whilst maintaining their ability to aid acoustics in a room or large area.

Famous quotes containing the word desirability:
“I suggested to them also the great desirability of a general knowledge on the Island of the English language. They are under an English speaking government and are a part of the territory of an English speaking nation.... While I appreciated the desirability of maintaining their grasp on the Spanish language, the beauty of that language and the richness of its literature, that as a practical matter for them it was quite necessary to have a good comprehension of English.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“He was too delicate to admit, even to himself, the desirability of marrying two thousand a year.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
