COFFERED CEILINGS
The slideshow below shows 25 pictures of a coffered ceiling the we recently installed in Richmond.The room was 21'x19'
and contained 25 coffers it took about 10 days to install that would include on site and off site production. We just
installed the coffered ceiling and filled any nail holes and caulked joints, the painters will add the finishing touches and
show the true beauty that this coffered ceiling brings to the home. I just added the photos of the coffered ceiling after
painting, please scroll down. And also please check out the video I posted on Youtube.

You can use different
moldings to make the coffered
ceiling your own. I used the
same baseboard that was in
the house to make the
rosettes on the intersections.

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.[1] A series of
these sunken panels were used as
decoration for a ceiling or a vault, also
called caissons, or lacunaria, while a
coffered ceiling was sometime called a
lacunar. The stone coffers of the
ancient Greeks and Romans 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.

Defintion of a coffer:
Coffered ceilings are at the
high end of jobs performed by
a finish carpenter. First the
ceiling is marked out. Then I
attach a system of specially
made brackets to the ceiling.
The beams and moldings are
then constructed around these
brackets.
I can construct whatever
design you like. For that extra
touch of class stain grade oak
panels can be placed in the
middle.
