Build Interior Soffit
This video shows how to build a soffit around ductwork.
Build interior soffit. A round ceiling soffit can add a sense of drama and contribute to the value of your property. Build two soffits if the duct or pipe is longer than your boards and nail them together to make a longer soffit. Snap a chalk line where you ll place the 2x2.
Soffits can also be used as a decorative architectural detail such as building a soffit down to meet upper kitchen cabinets. Step 2 cut and install wall and ceiling plates. Not much to how to build them as you rip the plywood to the desired height which can be determined by the lowest duct height allowing space for framed material under the duct as well.
There are many different ways to build a soffit but this is definitely my favorite way. Doing our research we also noticed that there isn t much info up on the web specific to interior architectural soffits. Basement soffits drops are easy to build using 2x2 s and osb plywood.
Team build is currently designing up an interior drop soffit on a residential project and in working through the design we ve accumulated a healthy amount of data on the subject.
