I am renovating a room with a concrete ceiling. Previous ceiling (wood
paneling)
had been removed. The concrete ceiling is a bit uneven and requires
smoothing
which I'd rather not do.

I am thinking of paneling the ceiling with styrofoam sheet about two
inches
thick. I 've got some good quality styrofoam (smooth - not grainy) I coul
just
glue there.

My question is about the lights. I haven't yet selected any lights but
other
rooms have recessed halogens lights eyebulb style.

Halogens tend to get hot and styrofoam could melt . How much room should I
cut
for the 50w lights? (a ball park estimate)

Time out! Let's see if I'm understanding you correctly: You're going to glue
styrofoam directly onto the ceiling, and then install recessed lights? How?
In what hollow space?



Maybe they're going to put up a foot and a half of foam?
