4. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general steps for installing your ceiling medallion. Specific methods may vary based on your ceiling type and the adhesive chosen.

Tools and Materials Required (Not Included):

• Sturdy ladder or scaffolding
• Construction adhesive suitable for ceiling applications (e.g., Loctite Instagrab)
• Caulk gun (if using tube adhesive)
• Measuring tape and pencil
• Clean cloth
• Optional: Telescoping poles or temporary supports to hold medallion in place during curing

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the ceiling surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint.
   • If installing around an existing light fixture, turn off power at the circuit breaker and carefully remove the fixture's canopy or trim to allow the medallion to sit flush.
   • Test fit the medallion to ensure it aligns correctly with the fixture opening and desired position. Mark the center point on the ceiling if necessary.
2. Apply Adhesive:
   • Apply a generous, continuous bead of construction adhesive to the back of the medallion, following the manufacturer's instructions for the adhesive. Focus on the outer edges and any raised areas that will make contact with the ceiling.
3. Position and Press:
   • Carefully lift the medallion into position on the ceiling, aligning it with your marked center point or existing fixture.
   • Press firmly and evenly across the entire surface of the medallion to ensure good contact with the ceiling.
4. Secure (Optional but Recommended):
   • For optimal adhesion and to prevent slippage while the adhesive cures, use temporary supports such as telescoping poles or props to hold the medallion firmly against the ceiling.
5. Curing:
   • Allow the adhesive to cure completely according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 24-72 hours. Do not remove temporary supports until fully cured.
6. Finishing:
   • Once cured, remove any temporary supports.
   • If desired, caulk around the edges of the medallion where it meets the ceiling for a seamless finish.
   • Reinstall any light fixture canopies or trim removed earlier.

5. Maintenance

The Livex Lighting Wingate Ceiling Medallion requires minimal maintenance to retain its appearance.

• Cleaning: Dust the medallion regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the medallion for any signs of loosening or damage. If the medallion appears to be detaching from the ceiling, reapply adhesive as needed.
