Unique ceiling décor adds an elegant and beautiful accentto your home, office, hotel, restaurant or any residential or commercial setting. They come ready to install with easy instructions. All decorative ceiling centers maintain low profiles ranging from 3" to 4" making them perfect for lower ceilings. Yet they are substantial enough for accentuate higher ceiling areas. Decorative ceiling medallions are made from fiberglass, PVC and other high-impact materials that ensure the medallion will not deform over time. The designs come in a variety ofshapes and artistic colored designs to complement your specific ceiling area: Round, square, rectangle, star and oval. Custom ceiling medallions can be designed and orderedto accommodate for larger areas
Preparing Your Workspace

2 - Make sure all work and mounting surfaces are clean and dry before installation
3 - Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using tools and materials.
Before Installation
-
Read all of these instructions before getting started.
-
If the medallion is to have a ceiling fan, chandelier or light below it, make sure the power is shut off at the breaker. Turning off the light switch WILL NOT prevent you from being shocked. If you have any doubts call a professional electrician. Check with a local electrician to insure your fixture conforms to local codes and regulations.
-
Medallions cannot support the weight of a fan or light fixture. Likewise the fan or light fixture should not be used to support the medallion.
Tools & Materials Needed
Ceiling Medallion Installation Instructions
Screw Gun / 2” Sheet Rock Screws
Adhesive / Caulking Gun
Tape Measure / Pencil
Caulking (paintable latex)
Utility Knife
Adhesive
Adhesive should be applied liberally to the backside of the medallion where it touches the ceiling. Sheet rock screws will secure the medallion while the adhesive sets. You can use any adhesive that is rated for use with wood (check the back of the label) -- we have found great success using Liquid Nails, which works very well and is available at most home improvement stores.
Aligning Ceiling Medallion
Using your center point or fixture as a reference, lightly mark the ceiling with pencil where the perimeter of the medallion will be. Check that the medallion will be aligned with the walls when installed.
Installation:
-
Make sure the power is switched off at the breaker before touching any wires. Turning off the light switch WILL NOT keep you from being shocked.

Make sure you have enough people to help you maneuver the medallion into place and then hold it while the sheet rock screws are sunk.
