Install Ceiling Medallion

Apply a generous bead of polyurethane based construction adhesive to the back of the medallion and center it over the electrical box on the ceiling.

Install ceiling medallion. Press the medallion against ceiling. Lightweight and durable medallions can be very ornate with a carved look or a decorative pattern or they can come in solid colors. Secure medallion to ceiling with screws but don t over tighten.

Apply adhesive to the other side of the medallion you should have already started three screws and carefully slide it into place until it matches the piece already installed. In almost every medallion we have in our home the canopy is the only thing holding the medallion to the ceiling. Here you ll discover ceiling options for your next project.

The screws are needed primarily to hold the medallion in place until the adhesive dries. Apply a heavy bead of adhesive caulk to the back of medallion. Secure it with the screws just below the surface.

The ceiling medallion should have a hole the same size in the center of it. Installing a ceiling medallion isn t difficult. Put up one piece of the medallion using the guide you put on the ceiling with the electrical box centered.

I started off by painting the medallion so it would be dry and ready to mount during the installation. Before you begin chose from prefinished options or those that can be painted stained or otherwise decorated. Screwing the canopy onto the ceiling is the last step in a light fixture install.

From the ceiling medallion collection my wife and i selected the b3025 medallion which was 21 in diameter and seemed a perfect fit for above the ceiling fan in this 8 tall room. You ll need one sized for your room roughly the width of your ceiling fixture s diameter. Follow these steps to simply and elegantly transform your overhead space.
