Similarly, it is asked, how do you light a high raked ceiling?Just remember that if you have high raked ceilings and you want to use downlights, you need to select downlights that have a fairly narrow beam, and are adjustable tilt. With a ceiling height in the range of 3 metres give or take, I would recommend something with about 700 lumens and a 30-40 degree beam.Secondly, what is the difference between a vaulted ceiling and a cathedral ceiling? Cathedral ceilings have two equal, sloping sides that are parallel to the pitch of the roof and the two sides of the slopes meet at a ridge which runs across the length of the room. Vaulted ceilings do not necessarily follow the pitch of the roof. One may also ask, do cathedral ceilings add value? Vaulted ceilings can add value to your home. Rooms with vaulted ceilings tend to have larger windows, which means that natural light can more easily fill the room. Regardless of the energy costs, vaulted ceilings generally add value to a home.Do vaulted ceilings cost more to build? Building Cost Vaulted ceilings cost more to build because they require more building materials and more labor. Larger ceilings can create a steeper roof line. The actual amount you can plan to pay for vaulted ceilings depends on your building location and contractors.
