Abstract: A structure for use in conjunction with a recessed fixture is provided which includes a substantially rectangular housing defining a top wall and side walls. Each of the walls has exterior and interior wall surfaces, and at least the interior wall surfaces of the housing are coated with a fire resistant material. Flanges depend outwardly from bottom edges of side walls of the housing to facilitate mounting of the housing between spaced apart building joists. The housing is coated with the fire resistant material prior to installation.
