the intersections. Please email or call me for a free estimate on your

A coffer (or coffering) in
architecture, is a sunken
panel in the shape of a
square, rectangle, or
octagon in a ceiling, soffit
or vault. A series of these
sunken panels were used as
decoration for a ceiling or a
vault, also called caissons,
or lacunaria, while a
sometime called a lacunar.
The stone coffers of the are
the earliest surviving
examples. Wooden coffers
were first made by the
crossing the wooden beams
of a ceiling in the Loire
Valley châteaus of the
early Renaissance.
Experimentation with the
possible shapes of
coffering, which solve
problems of mathematical
tiling, or tesselation, were a
feature of Renaissance
architecture. The more
complicated problems of
diminishing the scale of the
individual coffers were
presented by the
requirements of curved
surfaces of vaults and
domes.
A prominent example of
Roman coffering, employed
to lighten the weight of the
dome, can be found in the
ceiling of the rotunda dome
in the Pantheon, Rome.

Coffered ceilings are one of the more labor intensive jobs performed by a finish and trim
carpenter involving lots of planning design, materials and cuts. First the ceiling is marked out.
Then a system of brackets are attached to the ceiling. The beams and moldings are then
constructed around these brackets. We can make any design or shape you like. For that extra
touch of class stain grade oak panels can be inserted into the center of the coffer.
If you have searched for dropped ceiling, tray ceiling, boxed beam ceilings and your really
looking for a coffered ceiling give us a call!
