Soffit Lighting

What are Facades & Soffits?

Facades are a fancy name for the primary, front-facing exterior wall of your building. Usually, it applies to commercial properties where you may have a custom-designed shop front or office entrance. An architecturally designed facade can often provide significant construction challenges, with multiple surfaces or curving elements.

Soffits are the exterior lining that is fixed horizontally to the underside of your building’s eaves. They seem insignificant but must be correctly installed to ensure moisture doesn’t penetrate your building’s interior. On larger architectural designs - the soffits are often a feature, with large overhangs and premium wood finishes.

Ceiling Soffits are Different

Ceiling soffits are used as a concealing feature inside a house or office. Typically they’re used to hide away plumbing or ducting, or sometimes as a design feature for recessed lighting fixtures. In retail spaces, soffit ceilings can add design flair to a space, while disguising the more functional aspects of a commercial interior.
