electrician install any electrical fixtures.

Protect the end wire with wire nuts as the medallion is being installed.

CLEANING THE CEILING SURFACE

Remove any debris, dust or dirt from

ceiling surface. Ceiling surface must be

clean. A damp sponge or cleaning cloth

can be used to wipe surface.

PAINTING

It is recommended that you paint the medallion before installing. A touch up paint can

be applied after if needed. Medallions are factory primed and ready to paint. Use a high

quality Acrylic latex or Oil based paint.

INSTALLATION WITH A LIGHT FIXTURE OR CEILING FAN Use the fixture’s canopy to lightly trace the diameter of the canopy on the face of the medallion. The purpose of the hole is to allow enough access to the Junction box in the ceiling. Use a compass to draw a circle that is about ½” inside the canopy traced mark. The hole should not be larger than the canopy. Drill the center with a 3/8” paddle bit right at the center. Then insert the drywall saw through and follow and cut the marked line.

Make sure the threaded bolt or nipple is long enough to reach from the junction box to the fixture once the medallion will be in place. If everything is fine then remove and get ready to glue it on. Apply a ¼” bead of premium polyurethane adhesive all around the back of the medallion. While applying, make sure the medallion’s back is facing up. Press the medallion against the ceiling. Any excess of adhesive, wipe off with a damp rag or sponge before it can harden. Finishing nails can be used if needed.
