For some reason, there is an opinion among the people that stretch ceilings require special chandeliers . Not certainly in that way. Just to this kind of ceiling is almost impossible to attach something. But still there are several types of fasteners that allow you to install the lamp you like.
Let's analyze the mechanism for installing the chandelier on a stretch ceiling in more detail.
Fastening the chandelier to the tension ceiling
Fixtures for chandeliers are different:
- ceiling hook;
- a ceiling lath;
- cross ceiling fasteners.
The first type of fasteners is the most common and simple. It is installed as follows: a hook is attached to the main ceiling, then its reliability is checked by suspending a load of at least thirteen kilograms. Next, wiring and installation of the terminals on the wires is done. And after the completion of the preparatory work, the ceiling is stretched, a hole for the chandelier around the hook is cut in it and a thermo-ring is glued.
The second type is standard for stretch ceilings. To do this, the center of the chandelier's installation is first calculated, then a special thread is stretched, which is fastened to the profile by a beaker. The cup of the chandelier is measured, as well as the length of the ceiling fastening and in accordance with the obtained markings the bar is cut off. In order that your lamp does not shatter, the bar is made a little more than a cup. Then we measure the distance from the ceiling to the string "string" and fasten the bar exactly along it. The next stage is the tension of the ceiling, in which the hole is cut and the thermo-ring is fixed. Already the bracket is attached to the beam, and the ceiling is ready to suspend the chandelier.
Ceiling chandelier for stretch ceiling is still attached to the cross view of the holder. It is designed for large and wide luminaires. The installation of this fastener is very similar to the previous method. Or special suspension is used. The procedure for attaching the chandelier to the tension ceiling is not easy, alone you can not overcome. If the wiring is somehow sorted out, then with the ceiling and installation of the lamp you can not cope. Moreover, it is required to drown the chandelier in a stretch ceiling.
LED chandeliers for stretch ceilings
LED lighting is ideal for stretch ceilings, since they almost completely eliminate heating. Plus - they have a long service life, they are easy to install, and they have an energy-saving function. The main disadvantage of such lamps is their high price, and LED lamps can not be repaired.
Halogen chandeliers for stretch ceilings
Such lamps are very intolerant to contamination. Do not touch the flask even with clean hands, work only with gloves. The bulb of the LED lamp is very hot, and any tiny particles of dirt instantly turn black on its surface. Due to the strong heating, try not to allow the lamp to come in close contact with the stretch ceiling and easily melted by non-resistant objects.
Crystal chandeliers for stretch ceilings
In principle, you can use a chandelier of any kind for attaching to a stretch ceiling. Including with elements of crystal in decor. Specialists recommend for this purpose to choose lamps with a special inner edge. And yet - pay attention to how close the lamps, especially the incandescent lamps, are to the ceiling. Their strong heating can ruin your life. Therefore, the minimum distance from them to the ceiling should be twenty or more centimeters, and the maximum power - no more than sixty watts. And the most successful arrangement of plafonds on the lamp when they look down.
