Ceilings & cove lighting
A ceiling with cove lighting is not a ceiling with an LED strip. It is geometry: the depth of the cove, the distance of the strip from the lip, the colour temperature and where the light lands on the wall. All of it is designed before the first board is cut.
What it includes
- Flat plasterboard ceilings on metal framing, with or without insulation
- Shadow gaps and perimeter coves with LED strip and aluminium profiles
- Bulkheads, floating ceiling islands, curved and circular constructions
- Light shelves and gypsum lighting aprons in classical rooms
- Integration of spots, linear fixtures, air grilles and speakers
- Acoustic ceilings with perforated boards for restaurants and offices
- Access hatches where they are needed, not where it was convenient

Frequently asked
Why do some cove-lit ceilings show marks?
Because the light grazes the surface and reveals every imperfection. Lit surfaces need Q4 finishing and the right strip-to-board distance. We plan for it.
How much height does the ceiling lose?
A plain suspended ceiling needs 8–12 cm. With cove lighting and air conditioning usually 15–25 cm at the perimeter. In low rooms we design the perimeter only.
Do you do the electrical work too?
We work with the project electrician. We fit the profiles and strips and leave the feeds where agreed.
