Never attach something like this to the drywall in the ceiling. You MUST attach it to studs if you want it to last. Drywall is weak and easily damaged and those plastic anchors they show have no real holding power in a wall, let alone in a ceiling. Drywall is basically powder held together with paper. It is NOT a structural element. A leaky roof and this thing will be on your floor, or on you or your family.
Great job. 💪God bless you. 1Corinthians15:1-4=Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. Ephesian 1:13=In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth, the GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise. Ephesian 2:8-9=For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast. Romans 3:23-26=For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus. Without blood there is no life and without Jesus BLOOD no eternal life. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lbb4xwYj19g.html Look up Robert Breaker and Revelation Station on youtube.
What if you have to cut a section to fit or do you order after measuring your ceiling? Can you cut for lights? What happens if a light does not fall into a section?
None of the coffer modules ("sections") will need to be cut to fit since they are custom manufactured to fit your ceiling based on the dimensions you provide to us. Yes, you can cut the ceiling panel to allow for lights and if a light fixture does not fall favorably within a coffer module you can relocate it accordingly.
And we're are you supposed to purchase these mouldings, here in the UK the stores are scratching their heads when I mention this as it's unheard of here.
Yes Captain, in remodel type applications light fixtures will typically exist and as such you would simply need to cut the appropriate size openings in the Ceiling Panel of the Coffer Modules to accommodate for those fixtures. With surface mounted light fixtures the junction boxes would need to have extensions added to them and with recessed fixtures they would need to be removed and "remodel" type fixtures reinstalled by way of securing them to the Ceiling Panel of the Coffer Modules with their integrated clips instead of to the drywall. An easier solution for applications where light fixtures already exist would be to utilize our No Ceiling Panel option found on the following page which allows for the fixtures to remain in place during the installation: www.tiltoncofferedceilings.com/box-beam-ceiling/product-options/ceiling-panels/
Yes, and you can enter the dimensions of your ceiling into our Design & Quote tool via the following link: www.tiltoncofferedceilings.com/coffered-ceiling-design-quote-software/
I'm not sure what makes you say that? We have yet to encounter a ceiling size or shape that it won't work on (many of which have been less than ideal). As the video demonstrates, the system actually overcomes many of the obstacles one would typically face when trying to install a coffered ceiling from scratch.
Yes, you will need to ensure that all of the lag screws used to secure the coffer modules are driven into the joists regardless of their actual spacing.
Actually it's not at all. A little time consuming, but not difficult. Having a laser level is the key! Just drive the shim screws in/out to set for level. However, it's not a requirement to level the system should you choose to forego this step, but it's a great feature for when needed.
Measuring to find the center point of the ceiling is about as basic as it gets and once you locate the first joist and know their spacing (i.e. 16" or 24" on-center) finding and marking the rest is quick and easy.
Not a problem! We realize that lots of homes are framed with joists or trusses at spacing other than 16" on-center (i.e. 19.2" or 24") and since our coffer modules only require 4 mounting points each (with the average size being in the 48" range) they will all cross over at least 2 joists/trusses to provide the 4 mounting points as needed.
First of all I never snap any red lines inside a house as red stains like no other color! That's a ton of joints w/o dominos, biscuits, dowels or anything to keep them from moving. The concept is good, but idk about the fine details of the completed project and longevity of staying tight and looking good. Definitely a creative system. i guess high work is not eye work?
Use whatever color chalk you see fit and it's at the installers discretion which joinery methods they wish to use on the Beam Bottom Boards (which are the joints I believe you're referring to). However, countless ceilings have been completed with our system with out any negative feedback to this effect otherwise.

Looks like pretty sound system, depending on cost, building that from scratch with MDF and mouldings would take much much longer, have done em b4.......but yeah studs and square rooms aren't that simple......the scribe moulding take care of gaps in walls where there wavy........
We realize that no ceiling or room is going to be perfectly square and so our Box Beam Coffered Ceiling Systems have been designed to allow for flexibility in the Perimeter Beam Board to allow for variances. The Perimeter Beam Board can be ripped, scribed and/or tapered to accommodate as needed with the Perimeter molding covering any remaining differences.

That's interesting but I have a few questions. What do you do if: 1. you have can lights, 2. a sprinkler system, 3. if you have speakers installed in the ceiling 4. the room is not square (it never is), the ceiling is not leveled. There is a huge difference between "building" a ceiling like that on a laptop, sitting on your couch and doing it in reality.
You’d have to plan around the immovable thing (sprinklers) and plan to move all the rest around your ceiling. This is why most people do these ceilings at new construction or during a remodel. It seems as though you will have to supply this company with an actual measured layout of the room, and the pieces will be made specifically for your space. As for the squareness of the room, the level-ness of the ceiling etc - they were addressed in the video.
We don't build our ceiling systems on a laptop, we custom manufacture them in facilities right here in the USA to support our economy. The video was created in virtual reality to provide a clear and concise overview of our simple process, but we also have a live action video for any naysayers that you can check out on our channel. 1. If you have can/recessed light fixtures you can opt for our 'No Ceiling Panel' option which will allow you to install our system around these fixtures without the need to relocate or disturb them OR you can cut the appropriate sized holes for these fixtures into any of our other Ceiling Panel Options. www.tiltoncofferedceilings.com/box-beam-ceiling/product-options/ceiling-panels/ 2. Unless you are willing to relocate the sprinkler heads we would need to plan the layout of your coffered ceiling so that they fall in desirable locations. 3. Same as the answer for #1 except that speakers can be easily relocated as needed. 4. We realize that no ceiling or room is going to be perfectly square and so our Box Beam Coffered Ceiling Systems have been designed to allow for flexibility in the Perimeter Beam Board to allow for variances. The Perimeter Beam Board can be ripped, scribed and/or tapered to accommodate as needed with the Perimeter molding covering any remaining differences.
