Recommendations for choosing a chandelier
Correctly selected chandelier can decorate any room and become a real highlight in your interior.
It should immediately be noted that the order of the work should be the following - first mount the fixture under the lighting equipment, and only after that the tension ceiling is installed.
The modern market of lighting equipment provides a huge selection of lighting fixtures, and flexible prices will not even afford people with a small income.
If you do not have time to go shopping, then you can use the catalog of chandeliers for stretch ceilings on the site, and on the presented photos evaluate not only the range, but also the options for decorating the interior.
Based on a few simple recommendations, you will be able to choose a ceiling tile that will look harmonious and will not damage the ceiling:
- Metal parts in contact with the film should not get very hot, because the PVC material can melt due to high temperatures;
- To avoid the appearance of dark spots on the film, try to choose lamps with shades directed downwards;
- Lamps, especially incandescent ones, should be located at a sufficient distance from the web so that when heated they can not melt it;
Mounting chandeliers to a tension ceiling
The chandelier can be divided into two categories - hanging and built-in chandeliers( LED).
In terms of the complexity of the work, both options are equally simple, so any craftsman can be able to do it without recruiting specialists. But which one to choose depends on many factors, such as the area of the room, the desired intensity of lighting and personal preferences.
It is impossible to hang a chandelier on a stretch ceiling, because the canvas is not capable of withstanding such a load. Therefore, the installation is made to the main ceiling with the help of special devices.
There are also several types of fixing light sources - on a hook, a cross or a conventional mounting plate.
Fastening the chandelier to the ceiling hook
With this device, heavy luminaires are attached to the ceiling with a large number of details. For this, a dowel or an anchor is screwed into the base ceiling, to which the hook itself joins, the lower edge of which does not protrude beyond the film.
After this, you can proceed to install a stretch ceiling. Having finished work, through a film to grope and stick on this place a special heat-resistant ring which diameter should correspond to diameter of the basis of a chandelier. Only after that, a hole in the canvas is cut through, wires are drawn through it and connected to a hanging chandelier. Doing everything must be extremely careful not to damage the coating and prevent the formation of gaps between the elements of the lighting device and the cloth.

bar In this case, a conventional wooden or plywood bar is fixed to the base base, in which holes for cables are pre-drilled. The next stage is the same installation of the cloth, the sticker of the heat-resistant ring and, in fact, the installation on the stretch ceiling of the chandelier.
Cross and I-bars differ from the standard( bracket) with a large number of fasteners.
As this type of work is connected to electricity and produced at altitude, the rules of engineering and fire safety must be observed. This will help to avoid negative consequences from electric shock or falling from a ladder or ladder.
