All,
Just looking for general thoughts at the moment on the following:
Im planning at making some improvements to my home cinema room. The plan is to created a new lowered ceiling below the current ceiling. This will be around 10 - 15 cm lower. What I want to do is leave a gap around the edge of the new ceiling to form a sort or recess, probably around 10 cm. Mounted on the top around the new ceiling I plan to put some form of dimmable lighting. Other lighting will be provided by dimmable spot lights.
Any thoughts on the following:
- Material to use for the lowered section. Plasterboard? Wood?
- What sort of lighting to use for the edge light, neon, fl. tubes.
- Presumably the way to mount it is via wooden battons screwed into the existing joists.
- The area will be ventilated as it wont be sealed in at the sides. Am I allowing enough room above my spot lights or will they get to hot. Thanks in advance,
CM.
