How To Pack Away A Chandelier In Australia For Storage

0 comments
Even though crystal chandeliers in Australia are very beautiful and give our homes a sense of class and sophistication, it may become necessary to take it down and pack it away on occasion. Perhaps you’re having work done on your home that could damage it or you’re moving house. For whatever reason, follow these instructions to ensure that your chandelier is protected:

Step 1: Remove anything from the chandelier that can be taken off, including shades and globes. If you have a crystal style, you can remove these, too, providing that you will not damage the wire or armature. Wrap all these pieces in the next step.

Step 2: Wrap up your chandelier in Australia using newspaper or butcher’s paper, making sure that you focus on one small section at a time. Continue in this way until the whole fixture has been wrapped up, securing the paper with sticky tape as you go. Wrap the whole thing in two or three layers of bubble wrap.

Step 3: Cut two pieces of foam that are two to three inches thick according to the dimensions of the box you prepared earlier. Place one of these pads into the bottom of the box and put the chandelier in on top. Surround it with the pieces of individually wrapped hardware and fill with Styrofoam peanuts. Put the other piece of foam on top and seal the box.

Once you have finished packing a chandelier in Australia, it is important that you clearly write on the box that it is fragile. This way, whenever you or someone else needs to move the box, you will know that you need to take care. When it comes time to finally put the chandelier back together, you should have all the pieces.
