recessed lights

7 years ago

All your projects are stunning!! I have a question regarding a recessed light. If the roof decking is the T&G, how did you accomplish to install the recessed light and wire into T&G decking? Thanks in advance.

Hi! Sorry I didn't receive notification of your question! My apologies. We build a small wood box around each fixture on the roof, then cover it in insulation and foam over it. You have to select the light fixtures that are accessed and removed from below. Hope that helps!
