Recessed Cans For Sloped Ceiling

Recessed cans are a popular choice for lighting in homes with sloped ceilings. They provide a clean, finished look and can be used to create a variety of lighting effects. However, installing recessed cans in a sloped ceiling can be a bit more challenging than installing them in a flat ceiling.

The first step is to determine the location of the recessed cans. You will want to place them evenly spaced apart and in a location where they will provide the best lighting. Once you have determined the location of the cans, you will need to cut holes in the ceiling drywall.

When cutting the holes, be sure to use a hole saw that is the correct size for the recessed can. You will also need to make sure that the holes are cut in the correct location. To do this, you can use a template or a level to ensure that the holes are level and spaced evenly apart.

Once you have cut the holes, you will need to install the recessed cans. To do this, you will need to insert the can into the hole and secure it in place with screws. You will also need to connect the can to the electrical wiring.

Once the recessed cans are installed, you will need to finish the ceiling. This may involve patching the holes around the cans and painting the ceiling.
