I planned to install a false ceiling in my shop, so I hired an interior designer for the ceiling work. During the work, I asked the designer what should be the minimum gap between ceiling and false ceiling. He said the standard gap is 8 inches (20 centimetres). He also explained the reason for this, which I have shared with you below.

What is the False Ceiling Gap from Roof?
It depends on the wires, pipes, and other items in the ceiling. However, the standard gap between the ceiling and the false ceiling is usually 8 inches.
The designer told me that the gap helps conceal wires, pipes, and other utilities while allowing for proper air circulation and easy maintenance access.
If you need to hide larger items like insulation or air ducts, you may need a bigger gap, potentially up to 12 inches or more.
For rooms with lower ceilings, a smaller gap of 4-6 inches may be sufficient.
If your ceiling height is higher (around 9-10 feet or more), you have more flexibility to choose a larger gap.
The gap size can also depend on the desired aesthetic of the room or specific features, such as recessed lighting.
I hope now you know the space between ceiling and roof.

When we opted for a false ceiling in our new house, the interior designer advised us to keep an 8-inch gap between ceiling and false ceiling. This gap will ensure that the rooms cool down easily and also help to accommodate or conceal the wires.
What Should be the Standard Height of Ceiling to Roof?
The standard height of roof from ceiling is considered to be between 8 and 10 feet. The height affects the ventilation and temperature within the house. However, this height varies in Indian homes based on the type of building, the room’s purpose, the architectural style and others. Some homes have a ceiling height of even less than 8 feet or above 10 feet, depending on the design and function.
Here are some Vastu Shastra tips for the house ceiling:
The height of the ceiling should be uniform throughout the house
Ceilings should not be too low or too high, as they are considered unfavourable, as per Vastu
Do not opt for sloping ceilings. They are believed to imbalance the energy flow
Just remember that the higher your ceiling is, the more good ventilation you will enjoy. And if you are planning for a false ceiling, I would personally suggest you go for a 10-foot ceiling height and then leave a gap of 8 inches for your false ceiling creation.
