suspended/hung/dropped ceilings
I know them as suspended or hung ceilings, but there seems to be a number of terms for them:
A dropped ceiling is a secondary ceiling, hung below the main (structural) ceiling. It may also be referred to as a drop ceiling, T-bar ceiling, false ceiling, suspended ceiling, grid ceiling, drop in ceiling, drop out ceiling, or ceiling tiles and is a staple of modern construction and architecture in both residential and commercial applications.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropped_ceiling
Se denomina falso techo, techo falso, placas falsas de techo o cielo raso al elemento constructivo situado a cierta distancia del forjado o techo propiamente dicho. En forma habitual se construye mediante piezas prefabricadas, generalmente de aluminio, acero, PVC o escayola, que se sitúan superpuestas al forjado y a una cierta distancia, soportadas por fijaciones metálicas o de caña y estopa. El espacio comprendido es continuo (plenum) y sirve para el paso de instalaciones.

I have always transalted this phrase simply as "celings" and I just confirmed it in Word Reference, too.
