Компания представляет серию светодиодных светильников типа Downlight для подшивных потолков из гипсокартона и подвесных потолков типа «Армстронг».
Academic.ru offers "boarded ceiling" (http://architect.academic.ru/4255/Подшивной_потолок) but that is not possible in this context. A ceiling made of boards (examples at http://www.casteloconstruction.info/2012/11/27/sagging-or-cr... and http://www.houseofhydrangeas.com/2012/10/addressing-ceiling....
) cannot simultaneously be made of drywall.
I think "drop ceiling," "suspended ceiling," and "false ceiling" are all synonyms and would apply to "подвесный потолок.“
Wikipedia defines the difference as: "Подвесные потолки крепятся на жёсткий деревянный или металлический каркас, который в свою очередь прикрепляется к существующему потолку, обычно с применением подвесов. Если подвесы не используются, а каркас крепится напрямую к существующему потолку, то потолок иногда называют подшивным." But this does not help me find the English equivalent.....

Note from asker:
| Ilya, so you don't think there is a separate term in English that distinguishes between a подвесный and a подшивный потолок? |

Here in the US we also call it a hung ceiling.
