Installation guides.

Most recessed lighting problems are created or avoided on site. These installation guides cover the sequence of works, coordination between trades, fixing and ceiling preparation, wiring and driver positions, and the checks that should happen before ceilings are closed. They are written for contractors, site managers and designers who want a clean result first time.

What these guides cover

• Sequencing and coordination between trades

All installation guides

• Cut-out sizes and setting out recessed lighting — Recessed fittings need accurate cut-out sizes and setting out from the reflected ceiling plan to avoid clashes and keep lines straight and spacing even.
• Recessed lighting in plasterboard ceilings — Plasterboard ceilings suit recessed downlights and trimmed linear lighting, which are fitted into accurate cut-outs after decoration.
• Recessed lighting in grid ceilings — Grid ceilings can take recessed linear lighting and downlights in tiles or between grid lines, offering easy access and quick installation for fast-track fit-outs.
