False Ceiling Mount Fundamentals


False ceiling mounts take a little more consideration than other types of ceiling mounts. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Weight
Since a false ceiling is exactly what it sounds like, it’s important to remember that weight can be a concern. The best way to install a false ceiling mount is to remove the ceiling tiles and find studs to attach to the mount. You will have much more support this way.

Suspended Adapters
The easiest way to install a mount in a false ceiling is to use a suspended adapter. These are designed to hang down from the actual ceiling and sit flush with the false ceiling tiles. Most suspended adapters will have a series of cables designed to withstand weight that attach to the studs in the upper ceiling.

Professional Installation
Most often you can install ceiling mounts by yourself, but a false ceiling may require professional installation. You will run across cables, utility lines, and HVAC systems above the false ceiling. You will want to make sure you are installing the ceiling mount in an area that won’t interfere with these things. Sometimes it’s necessary to have a professional do this for you to ensure the safest mount system.
