The need to remove the ceiling may occur under different circumstances - moving to a new apartment, general cleaning, buying a new lamp, etc. In any case, you need to have the ability to dismantle the plaffones and change them to new ones. In the article, we find out in detail how to make dismantling of various plafimons without extreme help and call an electrician.
Types of lighting devices
Sometimes you approach the ceiling and you can not figure out how to remove it, because there are no hooks, plates and other elements for which you could pull, simply not. To all other things, and the instructions from Plafon are few kept, so it hopes that somewhere you can detect this documentation and follow its instructions, it is also not worth it.
The name of the neighbor to the rescue is not an option, on such trifles it is no one to distract people, so you have to cope on your own.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that the process of removing the ceiling will depend on the type of lighting device. This can be both a ceiling lamp and a chandelier of the suspended type.
In the case of suspended lighting devices, everything is much simpler, because before the ceiling, it can be turned on even standing on the chair or the table, depending on the location of the device and the room in which it hangs. Most often to remove the ceiling, it is simply necessary to carefully unscrew along the thread (hold one hand, the other unscrewed - everything is elementary) or simply one hand movement (scrolling) pull the ceiling with a suspended chandelier.
As for the ceiling lighting devices, everything is different with them, a little more difficult. You look at them from below, and it is completely unclear what to twist where, because everything is smooth and except for the flaf itself, nothing can be seen. Here the main thing is determined by how the fastener is attached to the device:
- Screws
- Thread
- Plates of spring
- Latch
If the plane is attached on the latches or threads, it will not be necessary to dismantle any additional tools.
If you can see that the plane is fastened on the screws, then without a screwdriver just can not do, so cook it immediately.
You should also not forget that both the plaffones are different - closed and open.
Flafon dismantling rules
There are a number of rules to comply with anyone who decided to remove the plane from the lighting device:
- First of all, remember, all the work, which is related to electrical appliances and electricity, in general, should begin with shutdown of the power grid. This is not a recommendation, and the rule.
- Do not start work until all parts of the lighting device are cooled.
- Prepare "Construction" with which you will get to the ceiling, it should be strong - a stepladder, a table or chair, and not to build some shaky incomprehensible structures, by type, chair on the table and on the stepladder.
- Working with any electrical appliances is solely with dry hands.
Only after all this, you can proceed to directly removing the ceiling.
Remove the ceiling
If after that, you decided to wash the ceiling and put it on the lighting device back, then do not forget that before putting it in place, you need to dry it well.
Screw plafones are removed very simply, you just need to just click on it and scroll through the clockwise, so that it carefully twisted on the thread. The main thing is not to overdo it with pressing the plander, because now, the materials for the plaffones do not always use high-quality and durable.
- If the horn beam must be put in place, you need to do all of the above operations, only on the contrary - insert the horn, press it slightly and scroll down clockwise.
- If the chandelier hangs under the ceiling, and you need to remove a closed plander from it, you will need to be extremely careful - to take it on it, slightly pull over yourself, then make more efforts on one of the parties? So that the plafof jumped from fasteners and at the same time not cracked.
- Despite the technical progress and simplifying the designs of modern ceiling, there are still plaffers, which are attached to the bolts. In this case, it will take a screwdriver to dismantle such a glider, and it will depend on which bolts are planted.
- For experienced masters, it will not be difficult to unscrew and remove the ceiling without turning off the electricity, all other users are recommended to do everything according to the rules.
- Today, stretch ceilings are often found in modern interiors. So, here with the ceiling everything is a little different. Often the masters that stretch these ceilings are installed for lighting devices fasteners. So-called "butterflies", so to pull them out, because you can do it once, in order to insert it back. You will have to acquire a new mount.
- If the ceiling on the lighting device is mounted on the mustache, then there is nothing easier how to remove such a plander. There will be no tools here, and make special efforts, it is also not worth it. Just squeeze the mustache and carefully remove the plane with the chandelier - it's easier to nowhere.
In general, it is very easy to remove the ceiling from any lighting device, the main thing is to figure it out with its fastening, there are a mustache - we compress them, you can see the bolts - we are spinning, you can not see the fasteners - pull the plastic on yourself, the carving is visible - you are clearly unscrewed - everything is logical .
