Q & A – Construction Details – Stepped Ceilings

Custom home during the construction phase, stepped ceilings in a living space with a fireplace - custom home by Rick Bernard.

Stepped ceilings are custom home construction details that are one of the greatest “bang for the buck” techniques available today.

The materials are virtually supplied by the scrap from a whole job of sheet rocking a new home. With a little imagination, an expensive looking ceiling accentuates the entire room.

The most critical part is the framing of the steps; even steps, appropriate size steps, complimenting the interior design of the home, and sometimes painted/textured for accent.

Stepped ceilings are idea for specialized lighting, or for highlighting a ceiling mural, becoming the center piece for the entire room.

End result for not much money, a really custom thoughtful touch.
