How to hang a chandelier with a plank if there is a hook? How to hang the chandelier to the ceiling: Different methods for fastening for different cases Installing a plank or hook for a chandelier.

Finishing repair or moving to a new apartment, many inexperienced builders are asked: a how to hang chandelier on the ceiling? Immediately make a reservation, that it is difficult only at first glance. But after the development of the initial fastening skills, the chandelier problems will disappear by themselves.

Note! Of course, you can always go to the hob and call an electrician to the house, which will do everything instead of you, but this option is definitely not ours (we do everything with our own hands!), Especially in such a simple matter.

Electrical aspect question

You most likely seen a hole in the ceiling, from which the wire sticks (usually three - two phases and one zero). First, determine, "Hu from Hu", for which take the induction screwdriver and in turn in turn to the wires. And if the lamp in the screwdriver lit up, it means that the cable is phase, and if not, then, respectively, zero.

Note! Troin the screwdriver only the bare part of the wire, and in the absence of such a stripper, pre-de-energized it (using a switch or a shield in the entrance).


Next, do the same with the chandelier - determine the transclon or "on the eye" all the wires. If there are several lamps in the chandelier, then put the switch into two keys and make it so that when you press one button, only a part of the bulbs was burning, and when the second is pressed, the entire chandelier. This can be done by a special connection of wires by clermets, is more detailed in the diagram.

Deciding with the wires, you can hang the chandelier: zero to zero, phase phase.

How to hang a chandelier?

Now, when everything is clear with the "electric" question, you can hang a chandelier. This can be done in one of two ways - on a hook or on a decorative bar. Talk about each of the ways.

Hook chandelier

Take and drill a small hole in the ceiling. If there is such a hole, simply insert a plastic dowel there and screw the pre-prepared hook. Connect the wires, wrap the connection locations of the insulating tape, close the entire decorative "cup" (it must go in the kit) and make a trial switching on.

Hung chandelier on a decorative bar

To hang a chandelier in this way, you will again need a perforator. First, take the bar to the place of the planned fastening and mark the places under the opening. Do the holes of the appropriate diameter, insert plastic dowels there (only mandatoryly corrugated!).

At the next stage, take the screws or screws and screw to the ceiling with a decorative bar. As in the previous embodiment, connect the previously prepared wires, lock the chandelier and cover everything through a decorative "cup".

The choice of lighting devices for the apartment must be considered responsibly. When purchasing a lamp, first of all, it is necessary to figure out how to properly fasten the chandelier to the ceiling and attach it to the power grid.

In order to cope with the task and make it all correctly needs to prepare tools so that in the process of mounting the chandelier on the ceiling, nothing distracts the wizard:

  • need enough strife height (you can do the table);
  • manual electric drill or perforator;
  • pliers and nippers or booths (from electric shock, handles must be isolated);
  • various screwdrivers (including with the function of the indicator);
  • coil isol;
  • several mounting blocks (with a margin), for wire clips;
  • the necessary fasteners, to which the chandelier chandelier will be made.

Elegant chandeliers

Before fixing the ceiling chandelier, be sure to check out the instructions for connecting it to the power grid. Usually there is a detailed description of all operations, therefore, there should be no particular difficulty at the master, a little disassembled in electricity.

Types and attachment methods

Choosing your lamp, still in the store you need to pay attention to the attachment methods.

Modern ceiling lighting devices are available with several alleged fastening types for chandeliers:

  • the loop on the fixture of the lamp, which allows you to install it to the ceiling hook. This is one of the main types of fastening the ceiling chandelier. In this case, the base should be as fast as possible, for example, concrete floors.

Hook mounting scheme

  • fastening the ceiling chandelier to the bracket or a special mounting bar. With such a fasteners, the load from the weight of the lamp is divided into several different points. The bracket is attached to the ceiling by a dowel with screws screwed into them. In this case, the weight of the chandelier should not exceed 1.5-2.0 kg.

Mounting scheme for mounting bar

  • cross or Double perpendicular bar allows you to hang the lamp adjacent to the ceiling, for example, a chandelier. The cross plate is not much different from the bracket, except that the mount is carried out in a larger number of points and the lighting device may have a greater mass.

The attachments on the cross-shaped bar applies, as a rule, when installing square lamps

  • reliable 2-way platform for attaching a massive heavy chandelier. Allows fasteners at several points.

Fastening a heavy chandelier on the platform

Installation work on hanging the lamp usually do not cause great difficulties. As a rule, a dowel with self-draws is used to attach chandeliers on the ceiling. The diameter of the screws must correspond to the magnitude of the opening of the fastening plate, in length they should not be shorter than 4 cm and not longer than 6 cm.

Having considered the types and methods of fasteners, you can decide how to install a chandelier on the ceiling correctly, without unnecessary and unpleasant consequences.

Installation with the ceiling hook

Usually the hook for fastening the lighting devices is mounted during construction work. In this case, before hanging the chandelier on the ceiling, it is necessary to check it on strength.

Mounting hook

For checking, for some time the load is suspended to the installed hook, appropriate weight or a little heavier chandelier. In case the fixed load has not shifted, you can safely hang the chandelier to place. If the fastener has shifted, and even more so it fell, you can independently carry out installation work.

Test hook weigh chandeliers

For this you need:

  • the perforator is done by the desired hole (if it has not yet been);
  • it is inserted correctly selected metal anchor or folding spring dowel with a ring. It must fit tightly to the inner surface of the drilled hole;
  • in a wooden ceiling, it is enough to screw the durable hook-self-tapping screw.

This is the simplest method describing how to attach chandeliers to the ceiling.

Sketchy mount holding element

If the ceiling is trimmed with drywall or installed tensioning canvas, fastening the chandeliers on the hook can complicate.

Plasterboard sheets are pretty durable, so the mounting of a small lamp can be carried out directly to the material itself, but it is worth considering small nuances:

  • the mass of the attached lighting device should not exceed 6 kg;
  • it is worth paying attention to the fact that when replacing the lamps you can damage sheets or accidentally touch the low luminaire.

Therefore, when installing the ceiling of plasterboard sheets, it is necessary to think over the room lighting in advance, and make a hole in the material under the mounted hook.

In case of this, it was not done, you can suspend the chandelier on the spring dowel or a special butterfly installed in the drilled hole. The dowel will be necessary to twisted a special nut, and pull the butterfly strut tighten the screw to the click. All fasteners should be equipped with a pin or hook, which is fixed by the chandelier.

One of the options for fastening the chandelier, if the ceiling of plasterboard

When installing the stretch ceiling, you must take care of how to fix the lamp. It must be remembered that the stretched canvas cannot serve as a fastening base for the chandelier. By mounting the stretch ceiling, workers, before cutting the hole to attach the lamp, glued the thermocole in advance. If this is not done, it will be impossible to hang the chandelier to the ceiling, since the stretched canvas will rush. Through the cut-cut hole, connective wires are displayed.

With this option, you first need to suspend the chandelier on the hook, and then attach the electrical wires, after which the mounting place is covered with a decorative cap of the lamp.

Installation with mounting plank

Before mounting the chandelier to the ceiling with a fixing plate, it is necessary:

  • touch the place where it will presumably hang. At the same time, the decorative components of the lamp covering the place of attachment and wires should fit tightly to the ceiling;
  • if this is the center of the room where the mounted hook is located, then it should be beaten, but not to cut. Perhaps in the future, upon subsequent replacement of the lamps, it is still useful.

Try on a bar for future position

  • marking under the fastening of the plank. For this, the bar is applied to the ceiling and rub the pencil so that the attached elements do not interfere with the connection to the power grid. We are planned drilling places. Plastic dowels are neatly driven into the drilled holes. The plastic must be the ribbed, which will prevent him over time to fall out and start falling out of the nest;
  • with the help of screws or screws, the fastener is attached to the ceiling.

Fresh bar and bending a hook (maybe it is still useful in the future)

  • after mounting the connecting wires, the bowl or other decorative element is applied to the installed bar, combining the connecting holes.

Connect wires

  • twist the whole design with decorative nuts, after which you can screw the bulbs and set the plaffones or other components of the lamp.

Ending work - ready chandelier in the interior

It is worth noting that it is difficult to hang a chandelier to the ceiling. For connecting wires, one more hands are needed. Therefore, when connecting the lamp to the mains, one person holds a chandelier, the other is engaged in wires.

In the case of the installation of stretch ceilings, the base for attaching the plank must be installed in advance. It can be the usual wooden bar, the necessary thickness, which is attached to the installation of the canvas, is attached to the ceiling overlap, and then the plank is mounted on it.

Barbed under the stretch ceiling

It is necessary to consider how to properly install the lighting device on the ceiling of plasterboard. It was already noted that with a small weight chandelier, it can be fixed directly on the sheets. With a more massive version of the lamp, it is necessary to predetermine the additional substrate in the form of a bar or a metal profile, which will be attached to the assembly plan.

Correctly hang a chandelier on a cross or a foreign platform in the same way as in the case of a mounting plate. It is worth considering that this option provides heavy lamps, so you need to take a dowel and self-samples of greater length and diameter.

You can mount the chandelier on the ceiling with your own hands without problems, the main thing, to prepare the necessary material and the tool, explore the accompanying instructions for connecting and constantly have an assistant.

Video instructions for mounting chandeliers on the bar

When dealing with a concrete ceiling, many people prefer to contact the specialists that they quickly hung up for a fee. Such people stop the large number of bolts and fasteners, as well as the need to screw the hooks and connect all these elements to each other. But in fact, there is nothing complicated in the mounting chandelier to the ceiling, and everyone can cope with it alone!

Before you start work, you need to get the entire necessary tool. There is nothing specific in this set, and all the devices will have in every home.

List of tools required for work:

  1. Screwdriver;
  2. Drill or perforator;
  3. Twelve key;
  4. Screwdriver with an indicator;
  5. Fasteners;
  6. Passatia;
  7. Terminal block;

The key for twelve will need you during the assembly of the chandelier itself. And using an indicator pumping, you define the place where the wires need to be connected. Standard dummy and passage will be needed during the mounting chandelier, and the terminal block when the wires are separated.

By the way, the light bulbs blinking when the diet is disabled is a problem as an incorrectly separated wires.

How to remove the chandelier from the ceiling

However, if you make repairs, and do not equip the new apartment, then, most likely, the first with what you will encounter is an old chandelier that needs to be replaced.

Old chandelier can be removed from the ceiling in several stages:

  1. Disable electricity in the house;
  2. Prepare terminal blocks, isolent and scroll-indicator;
  3. If there are additional elements on the lamp (glass cases, plafoons), then try to remove them in advance.
  4. Unscrew the hood behind which the chandelier is hidden;
  5. Now before you fastening: either a plank or hook.
  6. Disconnect the wires, bringing them out to the parties;
  7. Change the bare wires with a tape.

After that, you can already remove the chandelier itself and prepare for installing a new one. As you can see, nothing complicated here, and you can cope with everything yourself.

If your chandelier is attached to the bar, it may not be possible to immediately divorce the wires. In this case, it is necessary to relax a little bolts using a screwdriver.

Mount for chandelier to ceiling

As we mentioned above, the fasteners for the chandelier are of different types. And if you remove the chandelier with them - the task is almost the same way simple, then their installation on the contrary can be very different.

There are two main types of fastening chandeliers on the ceiling:

  1. Hook;
  2. Planck (bracket).

The hook-shaped fastener was used since the very first chandeliers, and in the Soviet market it was generally the only mount for the chandelier. That is why the owners, buying a new chandelier, are surprised that there is no hook and is incomprehensible how to mount chandelier.

If you do not have a hook in your kit, then check the mounting bar somewhere. Fastening using such a plank (as well as the bracket) is modern and is considered more reliable in operation.

However, the hook did not come out of everybody, and many domestic firms still produce chandeliers only with hook-shaped fastening.

Fastening the chandelier to the ceiling on the hook

This method is considered more complex, rather than fixing on the bar. And you should be careful: if the chandelier is fixed enough, it can collapse at any time to the floor and break.

In addition, the hook-shaped fastening is divided into two types:

  1. With standard carvings;
  2. With anchor bolt.

The first option of the hook is suitable only for small chandeliers, whose weight does not exceed three kilograms, otherwise the mount may not withstand the load and the chandelier falls.

In case your chandelier is heavy, weigh four or more kilograms, a special anchor bolt should go to it, which is withstanding much more weight.

If you have a big chandelier, and the anchor bolts went to it, the installation will be a little harder. You also need to drill a hole in the ceiling, and then up to the stop screwed the anchor bolt to which the chandelier is already hung.

Please note that an anchor bolt must be inserted until it stops, only then there is a warranty that the design one day does not fall to the floor!

How to attach chandelier to the ceiling without hook

In the event that you did not find the hook with the chandelier, it means it is attached using a special mounting plank. Such a bar can be without much difficulty purchased in any construction store. The price will not surprise you, since such adaptations are very small.

If you change the chandelier to a new one, then the hook will remain from the old one you will remain in the ceiling. Be sure to delete it before installing the bar.

Fastening a chandelier chandelier to the ceiling

After you dismantled the hook from the old chandelier, you need to go to the installation of the metal strip.

You can install the bar in several steps:

  1. Drill two holes in the ceiling;
  2. Score a dowel into the holes;
  3. Insert the screws in the bar and tighten them into the dowel;

After that, the metal bar is fully fixed on the ceiling, but here's further work on the installation of the chandelier may require an assistant, since if you install the chandelier for the first time, you can not handle alone.

Do not neglect the use of high-quality dowels. Thanks to it, the fastening becomes stronger, which means there is higher safety in the room.

How to hang a chandelier to the ceiling

After you secured a hook or bar on the ceiling, figured out the device of your chandelier, perhaps even looked at the training video, it's time to go to the installation.

As we noted above, it is best to find an assistant, which during installation will hold the chandelier in your hands at a convenient distance for you, and then help move it to the wiring.

While the assistant holds a chandelier you need:

  1. Connect wire chandeliers to wiring;
  2. Install the protective cap;
  3. Firmly pinch the cap using a screwdriver.

Before you start attaching a chandelier, make sure that the wall switch is disabled again.

On this installation chandeliers is over.

Installation chandelier on the ceiling with your own hands (video)

As you can see, install chandeliers to the ceiling with your own hands - the process is simple, but it may require special tools and help from the side. The main thing is to follow the safety and install all the fasteners as much as possible.

A man from the monkey did lazy. Tired of climbing the palm tree behind the banana - the monkey pounded a stick. Tired by the hostess forever paint and smear the cracks on the ceiling - ordered. No hassle - beautiful, smoothly, hygienic. There was only one small, but the urgent question: how to hang on the stretch ceiling? On the one hand, it seems like you should not worry yourself, it is easier to invite specially trained people for such work. But on the other, how to find out whether they did everything correctly and would not happen, God forbid, what trouble after such an installation? After reading this material, you can not only control the hired workers, but also independently install the lighting device.


Requirements for chandelier for stretch ceiling:

  • the light stream must be directed down or aside, but not up;
  • it is desirable that the plaffones have a closed form;
  • the distance from the ceiling to the ceiling must be sufficient to prevent the material heating;
  • with a standard height of the room, the tensioning design of the already lowers the ceiling, you should not install a bulk chandelier;
  • the lighting device must have a long suspension, sufficient to fix it to the base for the stretched web.

Ceiling chandeliers for stretch ceilings can be equipped with different. Choosing one or another type, consider the features of the contract with PVC:

Type of lamp Description
Incandescent lampThe cheap of these devices is hidden by high electricity consumption and high-temperature impact on the surrounding items. Such lamps are less suitable for synthetic ceilings. The minimum distance from the lamp to the PVC surface is 40 cm, and then provided that the device is not more powerful 60 W. The release of reflectors between the film and the lamp can be the output, but is there any sense to burn such a design if there are other options?
Excellent option for chandelier under the stretch ceiling. These devices are distinguished by a high efficiency and long service life. Such devices are very poorly sink and pose dangers for PVC films. Lighting can wear a warm or cold shade, depending on your preferences.
HalogenHalogen lamps are weakly warm, but with long work and this heat is enough to deform the stretched material. A 40 W lamp should not be closer to the ceiling than 40 cm.

Designer Board! On the stretch ceiling, the chandelier of contrasting color is best. On black - white or silver, on light, respectively, dark metal.

Basic requirements for fastening chandelier

The mounting chandelier to the stretch ceiling should be not only durable, but also aesthetic. For stretch ceilings, suspended devices are suitable for hook or mounting bar. Overhead chandeliers are not suitable, which are attached tightly to the ceiling on the overhead panel.

Important! The height of the chandelier must be sufficient, taking into account the distance between the base and stretched material.

As an option, you can consider the issue of a hook for fastening below the PVC film level, but then this moment should be provided in advance, even before the tensioning procedure.


A little about the correct location of the chandelier for stretch ceilings

The height of the chandelier depends on several factors:

  • ceiling heights;
  • ceiling coating;
  • destination of the room.

How to hang a chandelier on the stretch ceiling in residential rooms? From the floor to the bottom of the instrument should be at least two meters. So you exclude a danger to accidentally hurt it when moving around the room. But it is better if this distance is more, especially when the ceilings in the room are low.

Compact in height devices are suitable and holls. This design will not create interference for opening doors. In addition, keep in mind that in the corridor, people often raise their hands to remove the headdress or adjust the hairstyle, close the umbrella. So, the higher the lamp is located, the better.

Compact placement is relevant and. There is a risk not just to touch the design with your hands, but also accidentally get a jet of water out of the shower.


If the ceilings indoors are above 3 meters, you are lucky: you can choose any form and place it anywhere, at least over. For example, it is logical to hang the lamp not in the center of the room, but above the dining group. At the same time, for the working area is organized.


Tip! Classic ceiling luminaires have a chain suspension. You can adjust its length, removing and adding links.

The most difficult question is how to mount the chandelier to the stretch ceiling at the location and "second light". The feature of the location requires a powerful luminous flux capable of spreading to two, or even for three floors. In this case, look at the designs of several tiers or a lamps dropping cascade.


For your information! The rules of the device of electrical installations are recommended to choose for lighting the hooks capable of withstanding the five-time chandelier weight at least 10 minutes. After elimination of excessive load on the mounting should not be damaged.

Thus, the choice of chandeliers should respond not only to the requirements of the design, but also the safety and convenience rules.

Tools for work

The main tool in this matter is your self-confidence. Independent installation of chandeliers on the stretch ceiling - it's not so much complicated how much troublesome and requiring maximum accuracy. And there are tools for work in almost every home:

Foundation for fasteners chandeliers

Between the concrete or wooden ceiling and tensioning PVC material is the distance. It can be different, depending on the features of the room. If the ceilings initially have a defect, but using the stretch design it is easy to fix it. It turns out that to secure the chandelier, the empty space is needed to fill something, create a rigid base.


If the distance is large, a fat bar cannot do, you have to make a frame. The place of perforation of the film is needed to increase the gasket, it will additionally protect PVC on the temperature effect of the lamp. Such gaskets are made in the form of rings, internal and external. They hide behind the decorative framework of wiring and are completely not noticeable.


Installation options chandeliers on the stretch ceiling with their own hands

If you have decided to take on the installation of the lamp, take care in advance to prepare the basis. After the ceiling is stretched, the ability to mount a stand, you will not have wiring. Usually the wizard asks in advance where you plan to hang a chandelier. You can also prepare the basis and bring the wire in advance in the right place.

Mounting the chandelier can be in several ways. Briefly consider the main of them.

With hook

The hook is the most familiar and common way to hang the chandelier. The only thing you have to do is adjust the length of the hook for the height of the tensioning canvase. If the hook was installed earlier, most likely, it will have to be replaced, since the stretch ceiling "steals" at least 3 ÷ 5 centimeters.


For fastening in the concrete ceiling, a hole is drilled, a dowel is inserted and the hook with a thread on the leg is screwed into it. If the distance between the web and the ceiling is too large, the bar is attached to the ceiling and the hook is screwed into this base.

Tip! After installing the stretch ceiling, the entire wiring will be hidden from your eyes. For the sake of your own calm, place it in the protective cover.

When attaching a chandelier on a hook, make sure that the decorative cup fits tightly to the ceiling canvase


Using a mounting plank

Fastening using a plank is found on modern models of lamps. The plane itself is a metal plate with holes under the fasteners. This bar is fixed on the prepared base directly through the ceiling web. You will need to cut only a small opening for wiring.


Important! By screwing the bar to the bar, be careful and do not damage the wiring cord.

To facilitate the work and not damage the lighting device, it is disassembled before installation. It is necessary to remove the plaffones, lamps and mounted decorative elements.

With the help of a cross-shaped plank

Fastening on a cruciform bar is not much different from hanging on the usual bar. Conducting fasteners are usually used for heavy chandeliers. The only nuance is in the preparation of the basis. For obvious reasons, the bar in this case does not fit.


In this platform, drill a hole for the wiring. To remove the platform under the height of the canvas, use metal "legs".

How to pick up a dowel for fastening chandeliers

For internal work, plastic dowels are used. Given the possible external temperature effect of the lighting instrument, it is preferable to use nylon-polyamide inserts.

If the ceiling indoors is concrete - the spacer elements will be required. In the case when the ceilings are multilayer structures with emptiness it is better to use a dowel.

The thickness of the element depends on the intended load. The suspended construction seeks to pull out a dowel from the wall, so it is important that there are spacers and notches on it that additionally retaining in the skinny.


In order to secure the element in the hole, it is possible to use construction glue, the dowel is lubricated to them before climbing. Do not strive to screw the screws thoroughly, it can split the liner. The right is considered to use screws for spacer liners.

Tip! A chandelier weighing 5 ÷ 10 kilograms is fixed with a shock dowel with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 80 mm. To perform the task, you will need at least 4 dowels.

Master class for self-timer: how to fix the lamp on the stretch ceiling

And now directly on how to fix the chandelier on the stretch ceiling. As already mentioned, it is necessary to follow a clear algorithm for action and in advance to pose a place for the location of the lighting device and the preparation of the foundation.

We offer you a small master class, how to attach chandeliers to the stretch ceiling:

Photo Description of work

The first stage will be the markup of the location of the lamp and pulling the cord to indicate the height of the canvas. The cord is stretching from the frame through the entire room.

The main ceiling at the location of the chandelier is mounted bar. To do this, the holes are drilled in the ceiling, dowels are inserted and the base is screwed by self-draws.

Brucks can be somewhat - depending on the height that needs to withdraw fasteners or you can use metal "legs" that are easily adjustable in height. It is important to saber the surface of the bar, which will come into contact with the cloth.

The wiring is passed under BRom or between two elements. So she will not dare in the event of an unexpected situation.

To accurately output the surface of the base to the level of the dense, use the lining elements. After tensioning PVC material.

A special glue for PVC is applied to the hole for the hole.

Next, it should be fascinated by the base and put the ring in the center directly to the canvas. It will take time to glue dry.

In the inner part of the ring is cut with a canvas. You should be extremely careful not to damage the wiring. After the hole is released wire for connecting.

Speak the location of the bar and correctly place the mounting bar.

Screw the mounting bar using screws. Do not forget to pre-insert the hairpins.

Attach chandelier so that the studs entered the intended holes. Secure the lamp with decorative bolts.

How to decorate the lamp fastening

If you have not forgotten using a thermocol, the place of fastening the chandelier will be without tearing carefully. A small hole will hide behind the base of the lighting device. But if the interior design requires creating some additional element, use light polyurethane sockets. They imitate

The chandelier is a lighting device, and an important decorative element, so many of them have a fairly large weight and complex design. The installation of the lamp becomes an important stage of repair, because even the safety of the inhabitants of the room will depend on the reliability of its attachment. To understand how to attach chandeliers to the ceiling correctly and with minimal costs, you need to know what the luminaires for the rooms are and how they differ in the installation.

Details of decorative differences of the chandelier, let's focus on the fact that it is important for the installation process: classification by type of fasteners. This feature distinguishes two main types of devices:

  • ceiling with a hook mount;
  • consoles that are attached to brackets or special planks.

Fastening chandeliers on the hook and on the bar (bracket)

Heavy models belong to the first category, since only the hook can reliably retain massive structures. The same models that have less weighing are conveniently mounted and for different types of slats that can be attached to the suspended ceiling profiles.

Types of fasteners

How are different fasteners are arranged constructively? The hook is most often mounted in the ceiling, however, if it is not or unreliable, you can make it yourself. There are several types of designs that are used for such purposes, one of which is a collet stud. It is a collet that is practically used as a dowel, and a pin that replaces the self-tapping screw to which the hook is cling.

Types of collet rigs

You can use another option: metal anchor or hook-self-tapping screw. When the chandelier is fastened to the plasterboard ceiling in this way, a chain can also be included in the design. There is also a type of hooks that are used to suspend light luminaires to plasterboard ceilings and wear the "Butterfly" name for the drop-down design, which does not allow fastening fall out of the hole in the profile.

Ceiling hook for chandeliers

As for the mounting planks, they are attached with the help of dowels and screws. Long screws can also be used. Console models The chandeliers are often mounted using a dowel-"butterfly", which is revealed when fixing with self-tapping screw and can be both metal and plastic.

Dowel "Butterfly"

Stages of mounting chandeliers on the hook

Reflecting how to mount the chandelier to the ceiling with the already mounted hook, first check it out for strength: Swells the load of the same weight as the lamp you have chosen, or high drain. Unreliable hook, which drops or rolled, must be replaced. It is important to remember that fasteners for heavy chandeliers are mounted only on the main ceiling, since no type of suspended drywall will endure such a cargo. To mount the collet perforator, a hole is drilled in which fasteners are inserted. A stilette is screwed into Tsangu, on which an anchor hook hangs, or he screws out right into the collet.

Installation of the Canggie on the ceiling

The hole in the drywall is necessary for driving a metal anchor into a concrete base or screwing the hook-self-pressing in a wooden base. To overcome the distance separating the base ceiling from the mounted, the chain is used: it is hung on the hook and attached to it the chandelier itself.

As for the lung lamps, which are mounted on the plasterboard ceiling profiles, the mount is carried out as follows: into the hole in the drywall, which corresponds to the hole in the cutting frame profile, the "Butterfly" hook is inserted, which is automatically revealed and fixed.

The principle of "disclosure" and the adoption of the T-shaped form is also valid for dowels - "butterflies" to which console lamps are mounted. Such dowels need at least two. They are inserted into the holes in the ceiling and profile and are fixed with the self-tapping screw, after which they are automatic fixation.

Installation of butterfly hook

Installing the mounting panel

Such fasteners are mounted on a plasterboard ceiling, not designed for heavy loads. Therefore, in order not to damage it, you need to strengthen the part of the coating, where the lamp will hang. Even at the installation stage of the frame, it is necessary to determine how to attach the chandelier to the ceiling, and use one of the options for fortifications. For example, you can install two parallel profiles (at the same distance from each other, like holes in the bar) or to build a square or a rectangle from them (again, according to the size of the fastener of the chandelier).

First you need to correctly mark places for holes in the ceiling: they must coincide with the seats for screws on the bar. Dowels are inserted into the ceiling holes to which the bar and fastened. In addition, the ceiling can be a hook that you do not need, but it should not be dismantled: in case of changing the chandelier, he can also come in handy. The lamp itself is attached to the bar with screws.

Fastening a chandelier

There is a very simple option that can be used for lung chandeliers of small sizes. It consists in attaching a plank to profiles long self-drawing. For heavier structures, as already mentioned, moth is possible only on the main ceiling, concrete or wooden.

So, how to hang the chandelier to the ceiling? First you need to evaluate the luminaire itself: its weight, fastening type, size. Moreover, it is necessary to make it before installing the mounted ceiling so that it is possible, if necessary, to establish the necessary amplifying structures.

Then the necessary preparatory work is made, the type of fastener material is determined and the installation is sequentially. When mountings are installed, you can connect the luminaire to the power grid.
