Waffle Ceiling Toronto
If you are putting up a new home ceiling or contemplating changing your current ceiling, a popular option with many homeowners today is coffered ceilings. Coffered ceilings use a series of recessed panels arranged in a grid and they add depth to a vaulted or flat ceiling. Coffered ceiling history goes back to ancient Roman and Greek times. The ceilings were developed to distribute structural weight more evenly, especially on tall and heavy roofs. The style later re-emerged in the Early Renaissance and Baroque eras and was popular in aristocratic architecture. Today, you don’t need to be a wealthy elite to afford a coffered roof, thanks to modern building techniques and materials.

A waffle ceiling is a type of coffered ceiling detail that changes your dull house into a vibrant home. A waffle ceiling has a repeating arrangement resembling the shape of a waffle, from where it gets its name. The traditional waffle ceiling came in a rectangular or square shape, but today’s waffle ceilings come in many other designs like diamonds and octagons, meaning there is something for everyone.
Waffle ceilings are ideal for any type of home decor, from contemporary to rustic. Dramatic shapes like octagons go well with contemporary designs, adding a sense of drama to otherwise dull contemporary forms, while traditional patterns like squares are best suited for rustic homes.
The material you pick for your waffle ceiling greatly affects how the ceiling will fit with your home decor. At VRwoodtrim, we can convert any flat roof into a waffle ceiling by adding beams made from plaster, wood, or MDF. Plaster panels are ideal for modern spaces while stained woods are an excellent choice for rustic designs.
Waffle ceilings work best for homes whose walls are at least 9 feet in height. The typical depth of a waffle ceiling is about 8″. Since beams in most modern coffered ceilings have no structural role and are purely decorative, you need to ensure your ceiling structure is able to handle the extra weight. The ceilings come in boxes, and a room can take anywhere between 5 and 12 boxes, depending on its size.
For a fantastic contrast and enhanced appeal of a room, consider coloring your waffle ceiling a few shades lighter than the wall.
You can install crown moulding within the waffle ceiling box for added depth and to give the structure an even classier look and feel. This is a great tip to improve the resale value of your home if you are looking to sell.
