The overhead interior panel of the elevator car, housing lighting fixtures and ventilation grilles.
Full Definition
The car ceiling is the uppermost interior surface of an elevator car, designed to accommodate recessed or surface-mounted lighting, ventilation openings, emergency lighting, and intercom speakers. It must meet fire-resistance requirements and contribute to the car's overall aesthetic. Drop ceilings and modular panels allow easy access to wiring and fixtures above. Materials range from stainless steel and aluminium to glass and decorative laminates. The ceiling height affects passenger perception of space and must comply with minimum headroom requirements.
