Where can I hang a chandelier in the hall
The traditional arrangement of a chandelier in the center of the ceiling in the hall or drawing room is still in force. But bold attempts to locate chandeliers in other areas indicate that the process of changing stereotypes has already been included.

• using the hook
• on the screwed rail
• To the installed ceiling crosspiece.

Screw and install the hook itself is simple, it is fixed using a mortgage to the main ceiling.

Therefore, the most popular methods of fastening chandeliers are suspended metal slats and ceiling crossings. Fastening bars and studs are in most cases included in the scope of supply of the lighting fixture.
For fixing flat slats use dowels and fastening anchors. Depending on the type of ceiling design, also use the embedded in the form of a thermal ring for the tension ceiling. Initially, the mortgage element is installed, and then the rail is fixed to the base element. Screwed slats can withstand the weight of the chandelier up to 3 kg.
The cross-shaped bar is a more reliable way of hanging the chandelier in the hall. The work is laborious, but the guaranteed result is worth it. Initially, a mortgage element is installed to the ceiling using self-tapping screws. The dimensions of the embedded element must correspond to the dimensions of the cross-bar.
