We first assemble the metal structure of galvanised steel profiles, screwed to the floor and ceiling. Electrical cables and, if applicable, water pipes are run, and the interior is filled with rock wool or glass wool blankets, providing significant acoustic insulation. Plasterboard panels are screwed on both sides. Joints are taped with fibre tape and jointing compound, sanded between layers until a completely smooth surface ready for painting is achieved.

The recommended minimum height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference gains internal volume when recessed spotlights have a housing to prevent heat transfer or when air ducts need to be integrated. For high ceilings in old chalets where the height is excessive, we can propose a larger drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting. Outdoor lighting for terraces, patios, and gardens. Here, the critical factor is resistance to salt spray and humidity.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate this during a visit based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LED with a minimum IP44 rating. Halogen is dangerous in wet areas due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, in an aluminium profile embedded during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes into a semi-recessed profile fixed to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting withstand salt spray?
Only with an IP65 or higher protection rating and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Normal ones corrode within 1-2 years in front-line positions.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
