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. |
