removable ceiling/drop ceiling
Explanation:
El techo registrable no tiene nada que ver con ningún tratamineto acústico. Se trata de una falso techo que es fácilmente desmontable y que permite acceder a la máquina de aire acondicionado o a cualquier otra instalación que discurra entre el forjado y este falso techo. Normalmente, en las viviendas se usan dos tipos de acabados distintos en cuanto a techo: Cielos rasos de pladur enyesados en el conjunto de la vivienda, por donde discurren instalaciones que en general no precisan mantenimiento alguno (luz, extracción de aire, tubos de ventilación, etc...) y zonas más sensibles cuando las instalaciones contenidas son más problemáticas, como la bomba de aire acondicionado o, a veces, los colectores de los WC. En estos casos se usan falsos techos registrables hechos de paneles que son retirables cuando proceda para inspeccionar o reparar. Cabe decir que los falsos techos enyesados, en cambio, no son registrables salvo que sean agujereados especialmente, haciendo necesaria una reparación posterior. He aquí la distinción que aparece en tu contexto entre un tipo de falso techo y el otro.

"The ceiling itself (commonly referred to as "drop ceiling") is removable. The purpose is to have access to plumbing, wiring, conduiting, & etc., that serves the center floor (2nd/ main), as well as this floor, therefore affording access to both top of this floor and bottom of the middle (2nd /main) floor which is so often sealed with sheet rock ceilings, therefore isolating the ability to service the plumbing, electrical, and etc., resulting in expensive repairs when problems develop in this area."

Añado que las máquinas de aire acondicionado suelen estar encima de baños, porque es justamente en este el lugar donde puedes pasar con menos altura libre. De ahí salen las conducciones de aire que se distribuyen hacia el resto de la vivienda. Como la máquina es el punto más sensible de la red de climatización se dispone este falso techo registrable
