What is the difference between the remodel and new construction housings? - Keith Strong , 2009-02-27 15:34:51

New construction housings are mounted to joists or T-Bar type ceiling grids. Remodel housings are use after a drywall ceiling is installed. A hole is made, the housing slips through and is mounted to the drywall panel with spring clips.
