How to Build a Dropped Ceiling Box
Noun Dropped ceiling boxes are essential for enclosing electrical and mechanical components in a dropped ceiling. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different applications. ### 1. Determine the Box Location Determine the location of the box in the ceiling grid. Use a laser level to mark the box's outline onto the ceiling tiles. ### 2. Cut the Ceiling Tile Using a utility knife, carefully cut out a rectangular hole in the ceiling tile to the size of the box. Ensure the hole is level and centered. ### 3. Install the Box Collar Insert the box collar into the hole in the ceiling tile. The collar should fit snugly and cover the edges of the hole. ### 4. Secure the Box Screw the box to the ceiling joists or furring strips using appropriate screws. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the box in place. ### 5. Wire the Box Route the electrical wires into the box and make the necessary connections according to the electrical code. Cap off any unused wires. ### 6. Install the Ceiling Tile Replace the cut-out ceiling tile over the box collar. Ensure the tile fits flush with the surrounding tiles and is securely in place. ### 7. Finishing Touches Apply drywall mud around the edges of the box to conceal the gaps. Sand the surface smooth and paint or wallpaper to match the ceiling.![How To Build A Dropped Ceiling Box How To Build A Dropped Ceiling Box](https://i2.wp.com/www.kinook.biz/Files/104881/Img/09/coffre-eclairage.jpg?strip=all)
