Surface mount troffers bring the rectangular troffer form factor to spaces where a drop ceiling grid is not available or where a surface-mounted profile is preferred. Rather than dropping into a T-bar grid the way traditional lay-in troffers do, surface mount troffers attach directly to a hard ceiling surface using a mounting frame or junction box, making them compatible with concrete, drywall, and wood-plank ceilings commonly found in renovated industrial spaces, loft offices, and older commercial buildings.
These fixtures are available in 2x2 and 2x4 configurations matching the standard footprint of their recessed counterparts, so designers can maintain a consistent optical appearance across a facility while varying the ceiling construction type from room to room. LED models deliver high-efficacy performance with dimming compatibility and color temperature options typically ranging from 3500K to 5000K. Prismatic and flat-lens versions are available for glare control preferences.
