EASING THE PAIN OF
PLASTER IN FITTINGS
LEVELLO EXPLAIN HOW IT’S MODULAR FIXING SYSTEM MAKES PLASTER-IN FITTINGS EASY AND QUICK TO
INSTALL, AS WELL AS, EFFORTLESSLY ACCOMMODATING TO ALL CLIENTS CHANGING REQUIREMENTS.
Plaster-in fittings are becoming increasingly popular as more and
more customers desire uncluttered ceilings and clean lines. Most
plaster-in products are difficult and fiddly to install, also they
are limited in their applications. With different sized “cut out’s”
for each different type of fitting, mistakes are easy to make and
constantly changing the hole-saw can be time consuming.
At the heart of what makes Levello different is its patented fixing
system, a housing is fitted permanently into the ceiling and
different styles of fittings or ‘inserts’ are placed into the housing
and held in by magnets - a front plate completes the flat finish.
Levello is versatile, allowing the user to change a downlight, to a
pendent, to a spot light or even blank-out the position completely,
in seconds. Just decide if the product needs to be fire rated or not
and the choice is endless.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
The “First Fix” housing is one size for all of Levello’s products
reducing errors and speeding up the cutting of the holes. Housing
installation is simple, drill a 62mm hole, fit the supply cable to
the levello connector, push the housing into the hole and pop in
the decorator’s card. And the ceiling is ready for plastering and
painting.
The decorators cards – apart from making the life of the plasterer
and painter easier, serves another useful purpose which, is to
stop the housing getting filled with plaster and paint. The Levello
Painter and Decorator Cards have been specifically designed to
grip the inside of the housing, ensuring that they do not fall out
during decorating. Levello supplies a plastering and a painting
decorators card with each housing and recommends that they are
removed when the plaster is green, or the paint is not completely
dry - to ensure the perfect finish.
The “Second fix” stage is even easier as all Levello products are
supplied with connectors factory-fitted, so second fix is literally
“Plug and Play” and its magnetic fixing system means that the
“Insert” is simply popped into the housing.
STUNNING CEILINGS
One of Levello’s aims is to make ceilings look beautiful. Modern
living requires that many devices; from light fittings to presence
detectors, smoke alarms and speakers are fitted into the ceiling.
This clutters up the ceiling and makes it almost impossible to
achieve the clean, flawless look that architects and designers,
often, would like to achieve. Levello has designed all of their
products to have as small a visual impact as possible, giving an
almost zero sight line.
One of the problems with most ceiling fittings is that the metal
or plastic of the fitting ages differently to the paint on the ceiling.
After a couple of years, one ends up with a yellowing fitting on

the ceiling, which gives an aged appearance to room - especially
if it had been re-decorated. To ensure that the desired finish is
achieved over the longer term, Levello offer paintable front plates
with practically all of their products to ensure that the colour of the
visible part of the fitting not only blends in with the ceiling but ages
gracefully too.
CLIENTS CHANGING THEIR MIND
The modular nature of Levello’s products means changing client
requirements are no longer a problem as the “Insert” can be
swapped out in seconds for another type of fitting. For example, if
the customer suddenly decides they wish to move the kitchen table
to another part of the room; to have their statement pendant light
fitting above the table, this can be easily and quickly accommodated
and achieved, in less time than it would take to get a ladder.
The Flush range of downlights can cater for almost any installation;
the LOW-PROFILE products have been designed for ceiling voids
where there is minimal space; the DEEP range are stylish recessed
fittings with many different baffle colours to chose from; the
DIRECTIONAL products can tilt by 35° and rotate by 360° and are
perfect for wall washes or feature lighting. All of the flush range can
be IP 65 rated with a minimum of fuss and no visual difference to
the other products. There is even the possibility to fit accessories
such as honeycomb louvres of filters to reduce glare or create other
lighting effects.
