Coffered Ceiling Install

Installation of a custom 9-grid coffered ceiling in a dining room in Oakville, complete with integrated recessed lighting and painted trim for a sophisticated finish.

Challenge

The existing ceiling height and structural elements posed a challenge for achieving the desired depth and symmetry of the coffers without impacting the room's spacious feel. Precise alignment of the nine grids with existing light fixtures and HVAC vents required careful planning. Ensuring a seamless finish across all trim joints and painted surfaces in a high-visibility area was also critical.

Solution

We utilized lightweight MDF for the grid framework, minimizing structural load while allowing for intricate detailing. Each coffer was meticulously constructed using laser levels for perfect alignment and secured with specialized fasteners to prevent future sagging. All recessed lighting was installed using IC-rated LED fixtures, specifically the Philips Hue 4-inch Smart Recessed Downlight, integrated into each section.

Result

The project was completed within the projected 6-day timeframe, transforming the dining room into a focal point of elegance and luxury. The new coffered ceiling significantly elevated the room's aesthetic value, estimated to increase the property's appeal by over 10%. The integrated lighting also provides versatile ambiance control, enhancing comfort and usability.

“The coffered ceiling truly transformed our dining room. The RenoHouse team completed the work efficiently in just six days, which was quicker than we anticipated for such detailed custom work. We were particularly impressed with how neatly the recessed lights were integrated into each coffer, providing a fantastic ambient light.”
