Features of mounting to concrete

Holes

are drilled After selecting products need to decide how to fix the ceiling cornice? Installation of the product to the concrete ceiling begins with a markup. Then the eaves strip is cut to the desired length with a hacksaw. At the ends of the tire are put on plastic plugs that come in the kit.

A hole for a self-tapping screw is drilled in the middle of the eaves, and drills of two diameters are used — first by the size of the screw cap and then by the thinner drill bit. Further, these holes are made along the entire length of the strap. Their pitch is 60 cm, if you need to hang heavy curtains, the distance between fasteners is reduced.

To the concrete ceiling

Installation to the ceiling of plasterboard

There are two ways to fix the ceiling cornice to the drywall:

• You can install the mortgage bar during the installation of the suspended structure.
• Fix the anchor, the length of which allows you to capture 5 cm of the ceiling.

The plank for light curtains can be attached simply to the plasterboard with dowels "butterflies" and "umbrellas". This fastener, after screwing in the screw, opens and increases the bearing area. Multi-tier design, he will not hold. For a multi-row tire, you will need to mark points on the ceiling through the holes in the eaves and drill deep aisles under the anchor.

A wooden bar bolted to the ceiling is used as a bookmark for the eaves. It should not protrude beyond the drywall plane, and its dimensions should exceed the dimensions of the ceiling cornice.
