The purchase of a chandelier is a very important event, which must be considered in advance. After all, its installation depends on the variety of ceiling and gravity of the lighting device. Do not forget about the safety rules. To hang a chandelier on a ceiling, for example hanging, it is possible only at the disconnected automatic switch. Before proceeding to work, you must carefully read the instructions that are attached to the chandelier and make sure that all the components are present.
How to hang a chandelier on a plasterboard ceiling on a hook?
Since the weight of the chandelier is too large for a material such as gypsum board, it should only be attached to the concrete ceiling. Before starting work, you need to purchase a punch and a cutter. We also need a threaded pin in diameter 8 or 10 mm, an anchor and a rim-nut.
The milling cutter makes a hole in the plasterboard ceiling with a diameter of no more than a glass of chandelier.
Using a perforator, make a hole in the main wall for an anchor hook or mounting stud. We screw the anchor onto the pin. We install it in the hole and fix it.
Spin the screw until it stops.
Wire leads to the hole.
How to hang a chandelier on a stretch ceiling?
To install the chandelier, we need a mounting plate, a puncher, a wooden beam, screws, which we buy, taking into account the gravity of the chandelier and the dowel.
As a rule, the mounting plate comes complete with a lighting device.
We make a mark on the ceiling in the place where the chandelier will be fixed. In the variant with stretch ceilings in advance we prepare a wooden bar. Use the puncher to make a hole under the bar.
Screws the screws to the ceiling with self-tapping screws and dowels.
Its height is adjusted to a level with a stretch ceiling.
When the suspended ceiling is installed, cut through it a hole, in order to withdraw the wires and attach the chandelier.
We attach the mounting plate to the beam with the help of screws, without leaving the boundaries of the thermo-ring, which reliably protects the ceiling from the increased temperature.
Mount the chandelier to the bar. We put it on the screws and screw it with the decorative nuts that come with the kit.
To protect the stretch ceiling from burnout, do not choose chandeliers, lamps which are directed upwards. If incandescent lamps are provided in the models, it is necessary to place them from the ceiling at a distance of at least 40 cm.
