Ceiling Anchor

Ceiling anchors are designed to provide a strong, reliable attachment point for hanging or mounting objects from a ceiling.

This includes items like light fixtures, ceiling fans, shelves, speakers, projectors, and other suspended or overhead installations.

Expansion anchors - Expand inside a pre-drilled hole to grip the ceiling material.

Toggle bolts - Have spring-loaded "wings" that open up inside the ceiling cavity.

Threaded inserts - Screw directly into the ceiling material.

Concrete screws - Self-drill and secure into concrete or masonry ceilings.

Common types of ceiling anchors include:

Ceiling anchors are typically made from metal, such as steel, stainless steel, or zinc-plated steel.

Some specialty anchors may use engineering plastics or other composite materials.

Ceiling anchors are engineered to support specific weight capacities, ranging from light-duty (5-20 lbs) to heavy-duty (50 lbs or more).

The required load capacity depends on the weight of the item being mounted.

Proper installation of a ceiling anchor is crucial for safety and weight support.

This usually involves drilling a hole of the appropriate size and inserting the anchor, then securing the mounting hardware.
