In-Wall Channels

In-Wall channels come in varying widths and depths. Here, the channel options are intermixed to create an intricate pattern throughout the ceiling – a work of art unique to this venue. To aid in the creation of patterns, TE Series aluminum channels can be trimmed to varying sizes or angles. Bracket accessories can also be utilized to reconfigure the channel to the desired angle. The in-wall channels feature a wide flange designed to incorporate drywall mud. The mud is applied over the flange and smoothed up to the edge of the channel where the tape rests. This holds the channel in place within the wall for a built-in, seamless look.

8T Series Tape Light

Kichler® 8T Series commercial grade tape is utilized here to illuminate the channels. This 24V LED tape light is designed for longer runs with less voltage drop. It’s also designed to pair with a series of rigid and flex connectors that allow for unique shapes and corners. These connectors, with their ability to manage polarity regardless of direction, are a game changer. With 8T tape, creating a reliable connection, in just about any pattern you can think of, is a breeze.
