IMPORTANT INFO
• It is highly recommended that you paint or nish your
medallion before you install it.
• Recommended use of 100% acrylic latex paint for
PVC products.
• Clean the installation surface and back of medallion of
any debris with a clean cloth or sponge.
• Make sure that the surface and the back of the medallion

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear safety goggles.
Follow xture, power tools, and paint manufacturers’ instructions and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
Medallions are not load‐ bearing. Do not use them to support electrical xtures or ceiling fans.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When installing medallions with a light xture
or ceiling fan turn the power off at the breaker
before installation. Medallions are solely decora-
tive. Do not use medallions to support the light
xture or fan. Do not use the xture or xture
canopy to support the medallion. To ensure all
electrical codes are met, make sure to consult
with a licensed electrician.
MEDALLION INSTALLATION WITH A LIGHT FIXTURE OR CEILING FAN
1. Disconnect and remove current xture before installing the medallion
(if a current xture is already installed).
2. Measure the xture canopy. Drill/cut a hole, smaller than the canopy size, in
the center of the medallion that is no larger than the canopy size.
3. Lay the medallion face down on a soft surface that will not scratch/dent the
medallion detail and apply a 1/2” bead of adhesive caulk all the way around
the back edge of the medallion.
4. Feed the electrical wiring through the medallion’s center hole and gently press
the medallion up against the ceiling.
5. When pressing the medallion up against the ceiling, some adhesive caulk will
seep out. Smooth excess caulk around the medallion with a nger or the putty
knife and apply extra caulk as needed to ll in any gaps.
6. Wipe off any excess adhesive caulk with a sponge or damp rag.
7. All medallions will need to be installed with screws or nishing nails in
addition to the adhesive.
8. Fill any screw or nail holes with caulk and smooth the surface with a nger
or the putty knife. If any excess caulk is left, let it dry, and then lightly sand it
down with extra ne sand paper.
9. Re‐connect the ceiling xture or ceiling fan following the manufacturer’s
guidelines.
10. Slide xture canopy up to medallion and tighten. Make sure it ts snugly
against the medallion.
11. Touch up the medallion with any paint that is needed.
