LA Ceilings has been in the ceiling installation business for 37 years and counting. That means that we have seen nearly every kind of ceiling you could ever possibly imagine. What we also have see is every combination of overhead lighting and how the type of ceiling people install can have a direct effect on their lighting options.
Most commonly we install drop ceilings and we are asked time and time again, “Can I have a chandelier in this room?”. Obviously, you have just paid to put in a new beautiful ceiling, so what wouldn’t you want to illuminate it? The answer to this question, in short, is yes. However, in order to install a chandelier in a drop ceiling, you must be very specific with your method. When having a chandelier or any heavier light fixture installed in a drop ceiling in your home, you must affix the lamp to the rafters that are also holding the grid that drop ceiling is fixed to as well. Were you to simply try and install the chandelier to the ceiling itself, it wouldn’t stay there for long. In fact, you would be lucky to walk away for a whole minute without the entire thing crashing to the ground.
If you are considering having a drop ceiling installed in your home or your business and you live in the Woodland Hills area, you should most definitely contact the experts at LA Ceilings. We know all the ins and outs of getting you a ceiling that you will love and that will be able to hold the lighting you want securely.
