Wooden coffered ceilings are structures consisting of separate niches, beams and cells of various configurations. Previously, they were used as a load-bearing partition between floors, while performing decorative functions. Today, such luxury is available to almost everyone - custom-made coffered ceilings from an array will make any design idea a reality. Structurally, such a system consists of a frame and a substrate on which platbands, cornices and sockets are attached. Additionally, it is possible to decorate with ornaments, stained-glass windows and lamps.

Timeless beauty

Finishing the ceiling with wood is one of the few solutions that will make the interior truly luxurious. Natural material will give any room an exclusive look and respectability. Its nobility, combined with original lighting or author's carving, diversify the design, making it exclusive. For the manufacture of coffered ceilings from solid wood to order, we use precious woods that will significantly expand the style horizons - you can choose the majestic Empire style, elegant Baroque style, or strict Renaissance: the number of ideas is limited only by your imagination.

Wooden coffered ceilings are the most expensive option, not available to everyone. Environmental friendliness and the unique texture of the material has no equal in terms of aesthetic appeal. To finish the ceiling with wood, we use only valuable species, which, if properly processed, will serve for a hundred or more years.

However, aesthetic expressiveness is not their main advantage. Exclusive ceiling systems perform a number of important practical functions:

• help to solve issues of heat and sound insulation of premises;
• allow you to hide the elements of engineering communications;
• perfectly mask visible defects of overlappings;
• improve acoustics.

Wooden coffered ceilings take up a lot of space, which makes their installation relevant only in spacious rooms with a ceiling height of at least 3 meters.

Advantages of buying coffered ceilings from solid wood to order from us

Coffered ceilings appeared several centuries ago. Unlike the conditions of that time, now the caisson not only strengthens the house, but visually decorates it. The cost of services has also changed: every connoisseur of this original decor can afford coffered ceilings made of solid wood. With our company, you do not have to independently build and calculate finishing materials. Masters will install a coffered ceiling in the interior without any hassle for the owner.

Coffered ceilings: photos and finishing features

The design of the coffered ceiling includes recesses and cells, which are decorated with wooden beams. Such decorations give the room an original and stylish appearance with a certain amount of luxury. Wooden coffered ceilings are in great demand due to the useful properties of the material. With appropriate processing, the array retains its strength and resistance to temperature extremes for many years.

In the modern world, for the most part, artificial building materials predominate, which, it would seem, have great advantages over natural ones in terms of ease of installation, accessibility and versatility. However, connoisseurs still prefer to see products made of wood, genuine leather, stone, textiles and other things at home.

The same applies to caissons - voluminous figures that adorn the offices and bedrooms of real aristocrats. Today we will talk in detail about these products, talk about their advantages, mention the disadvantages, and also see how a ready-made solution from the manufacturer is assembled and mounted.

Caisson as it is

The very word "caisson" came to us from the French language, and in translation means - "box". Indeed, the shape of the element is very reminiscent of this object.

• Outwardly, the caissons can be different, but more often we are talking about a surface divided into equal sections by beams and lintels between them.
• Such designs look great in rooms with high ceilings, bringing elegance, classics and the spirit of aristocracy to them.
• When the caissons are made of wood, rather than materials like MDF or drywall, they look very rich. Such a ceiling serves for a very long time, but the price for its purchase and installation will be appropriate.

Advantages and disadvantages

The first coffered ceilings appeared in France as far back as the 17th century, but then they performed a load-bearing function. Today, this element is purely decorative.

However, coffered ceilings owe their popularity not only to their beauty:

• Wood is a good sound insulator;
• Like any false ceiling, caissons can hide laid communications - wires, ventilation, pipes;
• The tree is able to "breathe" and naturally removes excess moisture from the room;
• Before installation, minimal preparation is made - the rough surface does not need a good finish;
• The acoustics in the room become very comfortable;
• Such ceilings can be made very original, complementing it with all kinds of sockets, flutes, planks and other things.

Of the minuses, the following can be distinguished:

• Firstly, a very high price, which makes many people pay attention to more affordable options like the same MDF. Ceiling installation is also expensive, as the process requires good tools and high precision in fitting parts.
• You should not buy such a ceiling if the height in your room is less than 3 meters. In this case, they will hang heavily from above, which not everyone will like.

Advice! Alternatively, in such a situation, you can choose white coffered ceilings, which will not have such an effect.

• Installation of the structure requires experience, as it is very complicated.

Wooden coffered ceiling installation

We have already seen the beauty of such a solution, now let's see what you need to know and be able to do when installing it.

How to prepare

If you have a desire to try to assemble such a ceiling on your own, then we will try to help you with this with our instructions. We will mention the main points and subtleties, so don't miss anything.

• There can be no question of any work if you do not have a high-quality draft design on hand. Here you can, of course, try to do it yourself, but it is better to invite a specialist who will take into account many of the nuances that you will not suspect. He will determine the optimal number of beams and the distance between them, so that it all looks neat, without getting out of the general concept of the interior.

Advice! Many designers advise to reduce the distance between the beams in spacious rooms so that the effect of the incompleteness of the ceiling is not created. And vice versa, in small rooms, put them less often, so as not to get a visual congestion of the space.

• If you want to do everything yourself, then consider the following points.
• The distance between the beams usually varies between 60-120 centimeters, but depending on the requirements of the interior and the dimensions of the room, you are free to change these values ​​​​for yourself - there is no rigid attachment.

Advice! The last point does not matter if you are purchasing a finished ceiling that only needs to be installed.

• The following classic rule says that when drawing up a sketch, the caisson lattice is oriented strictly in the center of the room so that the additional elements on the sides have the same dimensions.
• If for some reason it is not possible to obtain a uniform separation, or you simply do not want to see the trimmed elements on the ceiling, we advise you to install a drywall box around the perimeter of the room, making its dimensions such that all the caissons fit inside
• After creating the grid, be sure to mark the locations of all lighting fixtures, wiring lines and other communications, as well as their outlets. All this will be very useful at the installation stage.

Now we will give some tips regarding the shapes and colors of the ceiling, because all this is also taken into account at the design stage.

• We already wrote that the height of the room plays a very important role. See what it's like for you. If small, then you can do the following. Frame door and window openings with similar beams in the same color as the ceiling; make the beams themselves not very high - sometimes people simply mount planks, imitating a full-fledged caisson; choose light shades for the ceiling, which will visually lift it above your head; place built-in lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling, the light from which will fall on the walls - you will get a visual effect similar to the previous one.
• Also do not feel sorry for the light room. The darker the room is filled, the more depressing and pressing on the psyche it will be.

• Keep in mind that on white coffered ceilings, you need to perfectly match the details, otherwise shadows will form in the cracks, which will create the illusion of a falling ceiling and negate the previous visual effects.
• It is better not to highlight such ceilings, but rather direct the light from them into space and onto the surrounding furniture and walls.
• We use dark ceilings only in spacious and high rooms. They will give accuracy, add warmth and comfort.

We think it will not be a revelation to anyone that the caissons must be properly combined with the rest of the interior. For example, if your walls, floor and furniture are in high-tech style, then such wooden elements will look ridiculous in it.

Although, as an option, you can use mirror surfaces as panels, install some newfangled spotlights, track systems or built-in lamps in the beams, and paint the tree in an unnatural color, for example, gray, and make the beams themselves strictly rectangular.

Tools, material for the frame and caissons

Now let's see what we need to have available. To be able to start installation.

We buy the following materials for the frame:

We will assemble the ceiling from the Start company.

It includes the following set:

• Long guide rails;
• Short guide rails;
• Cornices-curbs;
• Caisson knots;
• Complementary elements.

The installation of such a ceiling takes place in several stages, the sequence of which is very important to follow.

• First of all, we mark the ceiling, breaking it into sections. As we have already said, you need to start marking strictly from the center of the room so that the distance for additional elements on opposite sides is the same.

• Do not forget that the maximum length of the additional element should not exceed 40 centimeters.
• The distance between the center lines (cell size) should be 66 centimeters.

• Next, using the level you have, we determine the height of our frame. It is very important to remember here that the design distance from the ceiling must be retreated from its lowest point.
• You can find it using a tape measure, which measures the distance from the level line to the base. The smallest value will be the desired point. Step back down here as much as the project requires, and from the resulting point, draw a horizontal line around the entire perimeter of the room.

Interesting to know! For this ceiling, the distance from the base is 120 mm. This is required in order to bring caissons into the structure without problems.

• To do this, you can use the level again, or adjust the values ​​​​according to the first markup using a tape measure.
• We draw lines on the walls with a chopping cord.

• Further, according to the received markup, we fix the PPN profile. For fixing, we use wood screws, on an appropriate base, or wedge anchors, in the case of a concrete or brick surface.
• The fastener installation step is 40-50 centimeters. If the reliability of the profile is in doubt, then the fixation points can be increased.

• On the main, longitudinal marking lines, we attach direct suspensions, as shown in the photo. We use the same fasteners as for the guide profile. The installation step is 60 centimeters.

• Next, using self-tapping screws 4.2 * 16, we attach the PP profile to the suspensions. It is worth paying attention here that the profile is not set in the same way as when installing drywall, but upside down.

• The profile is attached to the suspension at a distance of 10-15 mm from its upper part. In this case, the distance from the ceiling to the top of the profiles must be at least 120 mm.
• When it is required to lower the ceiling below, the suspensions can be increased or corners made from the PPN profile can be used.

• The crossbars are connected to the main belts of the frame in one level, but due to the fact that the profile is turned upside down, you need to “cheat” a little with the “crabs”.
• We also turn it upside down, and bend its mounting ears in the opposite direction. The bundle is made on self-tapping screws with a press washer.

• Facing the transverse profile requires an oblique cut, at an angle of 5-10 degrees. If this is not done, then when installing the longitudinal guides in the corresponding profiles, it will have nowhere to bend, and the part may not sit in its place.

• Next, work begins with wooden elements. The cross rails are installed first. They are shaped so that they simply snap into the metal profile. Everything is simple and intuitive.

• Next, we carry the caisson nodes into the resulting cells and lay them horizontally, on top of the transverse rails.

• We install longitudinal rails-guides. They are attached in the same way as the transverse ones.

• The niches remaining uncovered by the coffered nodes along the edges of the room are filled with additional elements. They require additional sawing in fact - we do it with an electric jigsaw.

• The installation of a decorative border completes the work. It is fastened with self-tapping screws to the PPN profile, in the center of the recess in its body.
• To hide the self-tapping screws, a decorative fillet is glued on top of the liquid nails glue. These elements in the corners of the room are cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

This is where the installation actually ends. Someone will say, but what's so complicated, but do not forget that we were talking about finished products. The most elegant and beautiful ceilings of this type are completely assembled by craftsmen on the spot, turning and milling every detail, and this is not only very difficult, but also stretched out in time.

Modern and stylish caissons are an opportunity to make the design of your home truly unique and luxurious. Ceilings often play a huge role in the interior. The larger the room, the higher the ceiling, the more spacious the room will appear visually.

Every year more interesting and concise ideas come into place. In a room where the ceiling height exceeds 2.70 m, the ideal solution would be to make wooden coffered ceilings. Caissons are mounted recesses or niches that are made by joining beams. The main advantage is that the shape and ornament can be completely diverse:

• square;
• rectangular;
• rhombus;
• honeycombs;
• triangles.

When creating a ceiling project with caissons, you need to be prepared for the fact that they will steal from 10-25 cm from the entire height. Wooden coffered ceilings, the price of which always depends on the chosen material and the cost of wood, have a variety of shapes and patterns.

What are the ceilings of caissons

Ceiling types can be made from a variety of materials. The most noble looks, of course, the tree. Execution options:

• Classical. The most pleasant and stylish execution of the ceiling is the manufacture of wood. For the most harmonious combination of such a ceiling with the interior of your room, you need to think in advance about the forms in its manufacture. After creating the layout, the master will mount the ceiling, which will be fully made of wood.

• Combined combination of wood and MDF. This technique is as similar as possible to the classical one, the only difference is that not the entire ceiling will be made of wood, it also uses an MDF board. With high-quality manufacturing, even an experienced craftsman will not always be able to determine what type the work belongs to. Visually, this type is no different from the classic version.
• Caissons from and. This option is certainly the most budgetary, but it is not suitable for self-mounting. This work is quite difficult to perform, and only a professional can handle it.

Design solution to choose from

The classic woodworking of the coffered ceiling and its traditional look will give your room a unique design. But another advantage of such ceilings can be called originality in execution. Here you can realize your most daring decisions, create a ceiling according to your own sketch and taste. Here are some ways to create a unique option for your space.

1. Clear edges. When choosing this option, the emphasis is on highlighting one element: the end or the entire horizontal surface can be highlighted with a tint. In such wooden coffered ceilings, photos of which can be viewed on the website, the main task is to mark a clear distinction.
2. Composition center. Based on the layout of a large room, you can create an original center of the entire composition of the ceiling. The starting element can be a circle or a square, from which the main lines of the ceiling will diverge. The arrangement of an object on the floor of the same shape as a reflection will look especially beautiful and interesting: or.
3. . Caisson options are not only destiny. They look quite interesting and or a chalet, then roughly processed, natural-looking beams are used. For maximum response with the design of the room, textile elements that are used in the design of the room can be mounted in the ceiling.
4. Honeycomb shapes. This option is quite complicated in execution technique, but the result will be wonderful and interesting. The main thing is to choose the right color and size of honeycombs, which will help create maximum harmony.
5. . This view is perfect when a deepening of up to 15 centimeters is planned, while the volume and juiciness can be compensated for by a skillful combination of contrasting colors.
6. The combination of wood and lining. If you plan to adhere, when creating a coffered ceiling, lining can be used, which can be painted in a noble white color.

Self-assembly of the coffered ceiling

Caissons are very diverse in their design elements for the manufacture of ceilings. They will fit equally beautifully both in and in, where the height of the ceilings allows. The main rule of manufacture is the right material and shape that will fit into the interior as beautifully as possible.

In the case when you do not want to provide work to professional builders, you can make the ceiling yourself. To do this, you need to carefully prepare and follow the basic rules and instructions available for general use. It will also be useful to consult a specialist who will be able to suggest what exactly is needed for your premises.

Do-it-yourself wooden coffered ceiling contains several stages of manufacture: preparatory, selection of materials, frame manufacture and the actual installation of finished slabs.

Stages of preparatory work

First, you need to evaluate the room in which it is planned to install ceilings from caissons. Do not forget that on a low ceiling such a design is not always appropriate. The minimum height should ideally be at least 2.5 meters. When designing, you need to follow this rule: the larger and higher the room, the greater the number of beams that can be used in the design. For optimal performance, universal and standard slats 12-15 cm are used.

In a room with relatively low ceilings place beams stands in the openings of a window or door, pushing and expanding the space. You should not plan coffered ceilings in the room where the furniture is located and the color of the walls is dark, as they will only make the interior heavier.

Secondly, there are several secrets in choosing a color. For example, when choosing a white color and shifting the flow down, you can accidentally achieve the effect of a "falling ceiling", so you need to be careful in choosing colors and shades. If you want to create coziness in the room, then the choice should be stopped at, and the wallpaper will fit with a delicate ornament. At the same time, in the center of the ceiling, you can safely make an accent in color, application or the original choice of figure.

Building materials required for work

After choosing the color and shape, you need to decide on the overall composition and draw an accurate sketch, which should include all calculations, take into account the height from floor to ceiling, since everything should turn out as beautifully and harmoniously as possible. To correctly calculate the required amount of materials, the sketch must be as accurate as possible.

When buying materials, have a blueprint with you. For a universal option, it is best suited with or without a pattern, which will be glued at the base of the ceiling. The simpler the wallpaper, the more interesting the tree will look against their background.

Next, pay attention to the choice of blanks from which the entire structure will be created. The simplest option for doing it yourself would be to buy ready-made individual modules that act as caissons when placed directly on the ceiling. The step of the caissons themselves varies from 80-100 cm, given that the height of your ceiling is standard.

If we are talking about large rooms, then the best solution would be to buy pine or any other light tree. Of course, processing with natural beech or spruce, oak veneer can also be used, then additional attractiveness and style are acquired. In addition to wallpaper and wood, glue paint and nails are also useful.

Create a framework for a structure

For maximum strength and reliability during the installation of the material, the surface is primed, with quick absorption and drying, it is necessary to apply 2 layers. Then glued wallpaper: It is more convenient to do this with two people for the most even tension.

Next, on the wallpaper that needs to dry, marks should be applied: finished wood structures will be applied to them. It is best to start from the center, from the central beam. The main part of the whole structure is a support beam, which has a complex box structure. It is attached to the ceiling in the required order, thereby reaching the desired ornament. Having decided on the place of installation of the main part, you need to start creating a box-shaped beam. To do this, cut a bar along the length of the bar, on the side of which small boards are neatly stuffed at an equal distance.

Next, the assembled frame is attached with nails to the ceiling, strictly following the prepared markings. Next, a bar is measured and cut, covering the structure from the side. After finishing work with the frame, close it at the bottom with a board as tightly as possible. The main thing is to clearly follow the instructions and the intended drawing, as well as choose high-quality materials.

The next step is to create the box beams and place them parallel to the installed central structure, following the sketch. After fixing all the longitudinal elements, you need to proceed to the installation of transverse structures. Everything must be applied strictly according to the marks, especially paying attention to the corners, because it is accuracy that creates the final beautiful result.

To process narrow gaps, the thinnest slats are used, which help not only to close the gap, but also to give the structure additional volume. The installed ceiling can be completely painted over in one color or try a composition of several shades, creating contrast and volume of the overall ceiling design.

The thickness of the rails should be such that they can close all the flaws and possible indents. This will help, allowing you to find the necessary atmosphere. If you want to complement the composition with plaster elements, it is best to attach them using self-tapping screws, but construction glue is suitable for cardboard elements.

The ceiling in the design of the room plays a kind of final role, putting an end to the entire interior style. Among the modern variety of finishing materials, wooden coffered ceilings are considered an innovation, although in fact they were widely used in ancient Greece. Today, caissons play not only a practical role, facilitating construction and improving acoustics, but also perform decorative functions, becoming the main element of the interior.

Caissons facilitate construction and improve acoustics, as well as perform decorative functions, being the main element of the interior.

Coffered ceilings: pros and cons

These ceilings are recesses of the correct geometric shape, which are created with the help of intersecting beams. Among the positive qualities of such an overlap, it is worth noting the following:

Caissons are made of natural wood, which is an environmentally friendly material.

1. Aesthetics is one of the main advantages of coffered ceilings. The beamed ceiling design will perfectly fit into the interior of a country house. At the same time, the space between the beams can be processed to your taste: wallpapered, painted, decorated with decorative plaster, etc. This option is well suited for rooms decorated in both classic and country style.
2. Naturalness. Caissons are made of natural wood, which is an environmentally friendly material with a wide range of decorative properties.
3. Quality. Ready-made modules of wooden ceilings are of high quality and fully comply with all available GOSTs.
4. Compatibility. One of the most important advantages of this finish is its excellent compatibility with expensive classic furniture.
5. The cassette cladding method allows you to hide almost all the shortcomings of the floor, so the owners of private houses will not need to perform time-consuming work to level it.
6. Possibility of using different materials. This design can be made of wood, MDF, drywall, polyurethane, etc.

Caissons also have some disadvantages:

1. High cost.
2. Difficulty of installation. It will be quite difficult to carry out installation work on your own, and hiring specialists will further increase the cost of such a finish. However, there is a way out of this situation - you can buy ready-made cassettes and stick them on the ceiling.

Despite these shortcomings, wooden ceilings can be called quite a suitable type of decoration for a private house. Such designs look unusually stylish and give the room a special atmosphere of antiquity and comfort.

Do-it-yourself installation of a coffered ceiling

To make a wooden coffered ceiling with your own hands, you need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• saw;
• hammer;
• roulette;
• square;
• roller;
• putty knife;
• wooden beams, slabs or prefabricated cells;
• wallpaper;
• deep penetration primer;
• putty;
• glue;
• pencil, paper;
• nails.

Do not forget that coffered ceilings can not be used in all buildings, because in houses with low ceilings they will be completely out of place. The height of the ceilings in the house must be at least 250 cm. If you have a great desire to create a wooden ceiling of this type in the apartment, and the height of the ceiling leaves much to be desired, then you can still take the risk, but you should choose thin panels of light colors.

When designing caissons, one should follow the general rule: the more spacious the room, the more beams should be used to decorate them. Usually, standard slats with a height and width of 120-150 mm are used for work, although the dimensions of the room must be taken into account.

First you need to prepare a project and draw a sketch of the future design, which should take into account the individual preferences of each family member. When developing a project, the following factors should be taken into account:

• the level of illumination of the room, the location of window and door openings;
• room dimensions;
• the purpose of the room (bedroom, living room, kitchen or hall).

In this case, it is better to seek help from designers who can prepare a high-quality and understandable sketch, where all the design features will be clearly indicated. But if you can draw a little and create schematic drawings, then this task will be up to you.

A coffered ceiling with lamps will help make the room brighter and more spacious.

Before starting installation, carefully inspect the finishing surface. If it is flat or has small height differences, then it can be safely used for mounting a wooden ceiling. If there are cracks and chips on the surface, then they must be repaired with putty, and then sanded.

After that, the surface should be well primed with a deep penetration primer and allow it to dry. Then the ceiling can be pasted over with wallpaper, which will be the background of the caisson. The wallpaper pattern is selected monophonic or with a slight structure. The glued canvas is carefully smoothed to avoid the appearance of air bubbles or wrinkling.

After that, marks are created on the wallpaper, along which the lattice structure will be installed. The first step is to decide on the placement of the central bar, which can be placed in the center of the room or be slightly shifted to the side.

The main element of the coffered ceiling is the supporting beams (box beams), which are nailed to the base in a certain order, creating the required ornament. To create a box-shaped timber, it is necessary to cut a bar, the length of which will be equal to the length of the ceiling. Small boards are stuffed on its sides at the same distance from each other. After that, this beam is nailed to the ceiling with nails. Then the strips are mounted, covering the sides of the structure, after which the beam from below is also closed with a strip.

The transverse elements are installed when all the longitudinal beams are mounted.

Usually such structures are fastened with nails, however, high-quality wood glue can be used to fix small elements.

1. If the room has low ceilings, then the beams should be placed in the openings of windows and doors. The contrast with the recesses will optically increase the height of the room.
2. It is not recommended to mount coffered ceilings in rooms with poor lighting and a lot of dark furniture. Such a design will oppress and inspire sadness.
3. Caissons are not suitable for modern or high-tech interiors. They will harmoniously look in the style of country and classic.
4. If you have chosen a wooden ceiling, the color of which is as close as possible to natural, then you need to take care of the correct selection of the shade of furniture. Ideally, the shade of the ceiling and furniture should match each other. To match them, you should also choose the floor finish. This will give you a complete picture.
5. For the construction of light cellular ceilings, there is no need to use expensive wood species. In this case, polyurethane and gypsum products fully justify themselves.

Coffered ceilings are a versatile decor element that will give a special elegance to any room. With their help, you can implement your most ingenious ideas regarding design and interior.
