How do you install on plaster ceilings?

I do not have a plaster ceiling but I don't see where it would be any different. I am assuming that you are concerned with the plaster chipping/shattering etc. If it were me, I would tape over the area to be drilled and or apply some sort of paste that is water soluble such as a flour and water mixture. This would act as a "shock absorber" to absorb the vibrations caused by drilling. Use a new masonry bit and do not use a hammer drill. Again, this is my theory and it is untested. My rack works great and I am pleased with it.

Use a nail to gently poke a hole, put the bottom post through the hole then screw on the stud. :)

Hi, I'm sure that you could use the swag kit. I will attach a web site that may help you.http://www.doityourself.com/stry/instaling-ceiling-fan-with-swag-kit.Hope this helps

i used staple gun to attach directly to beams, then put 1" raisers ( metal channel) to separate drywall from beams. this gives air space, same on ceiling, but you def need several people as it is very heavy.

You can install it with a ceiling above it. I have found it works really well in comparison to other fan models. It can even be done with no damage to the drywall. The unit is built to come apart. The silver side comes off so you can make all your connections first. Then push it up in the ceiling, take the black box and push that in the hole, screw it in place, snap the silver peice back on, put the trim kit on, and you have successfully put a fan in without the attic or damaging the drywall.

I havent used it on plaster. I cut through crown molding in place on the ceiling, and it cut perfectly straight without disturbing surrounding area. Plaster is softer than wood so I think it shoukd work. However with plaster you'll always have dust. I think the dust will fall straight down in a concentrated area.

There is tape on the part that u could connect the long strands to the ceiling you just peel off the paper backing and stick it up

I watched a tutorial on YouTube about these. Amazon had pricey cost. There's a wire that holds it all together in the middle. I looped ribbon through it and used clear packing tape to hang from my ceiling. Several make these directly- much cheaper!

You will have to find the ceiling joists (usually 2x8 or 2x10) with a stud finder and then use longlag bolts and washers. Make sure you go into the boards or it won't hold. If you tighten it too tight you will crush the sheet rock.

I wall mounted it at the very top of the wall so that I could screw into the top plate. The room that I installed it in had a cathedral ceiling and I didn't want to ceiling mount. You will need a drill as holes for the bolts should be pre-drilled to make it easier to screw in the bolts. You won't be able to do it if you don't pre-drill. A ratchet set would also be helpful.

Andy, You can do this. At the point where you make the turn, install (2-) 4" x 1/4" long screw eyes if you can put in backing. If not, use 1/4" x 5" toggle bolts. You will need a nut and fender washer on the finished ceiling to tighten the toggle. These should be 3 1/2" apart and sit at a an angle so that the wires run parallel. Take a few minutes to get this right. The fixtures come as brushed aluminum. If you choose just spray them the color of your choice, as well as the eye bolts. Hope it comes out right. Good luck and these are nice lighting and you can install a regular dimmer. Email me for photos. papadave@outlook.com Andy, You can do this.

Screw the end brackets into the wall studs, be sure to measure first to see how long the hanger tubing is, there is a long pin that is in each wall bracket that runs thru the end of the hanger tube. Didn't directions come with your order, mine was easy to install, of course my brother did it for me!!!!!

Yes. The directions illustrate how. The trick is to mount the ceiling braces along the ceiling joices.

This product has 2 gang boxes, and they are designed to install in existing walls with 4" cavities. You can install before hanging the sheetrock, but you don't have to. If you have lathe & plaster, then the thickness will be greater, but tabs will extend out enough to grab and hold. Just cut the opening and fit (make sure that there is enough depth for unit to fit, otherwise, you will need to cut as much off the back of the box to accommodate it).This is a great product, and it worked very well for me. I am sure you too will like the end result.

We just put hooks in our ceiling in the studs. Then bought carabeeners tht hook onto those. All from Home Depot. About 15 bucks total. We hook and unhook it at will and its in the middle of the living room.

Just put some teflon tape on the threaded end from the wall and screw it on. Very simple installation.

Use the exhisting screw holes for wall mount to install. Then attach to wall or tv stand to prevent toppling. Took 5 mins to install.
