Ceiling Medallion

• While fixing a new medallion, the first thing you should do is to turn off the power from the fuse box.
• Arrange the medallion pieces on the floor and understand how the different pieces are to be fixed.
• If the ceiling opening is large you may have to increase the size of the medallion opening.
• Apply just enough glue, on to the back of the medallion, about one inch from the edge of the medallion.
• Set the medallion in its place and allow the glue about two hours to dry completely.
• Apply caulk around the medallion to cover any gap between it and the ceiling.
• Once a caulk has dried you can paint the medallion to match the color of the walls or ceiling.
• You can then wire and hang the chandelier or other ceiling light fixture, by attaching the ceiling cap to the surface of the medallion.
• If a ceiling light already exists and you want to install a medallion, you will have to remove the light fixture first and install the medallion. Once the medallion has been fixed properly, the light can be reinstalled.
• If you are reinstalling light fixtures ensure that you keep all the nuts and screws carefully, to reuse later on.
• You can clean your light fixtures thoroughly as you are dismantling them.
