Crown mouldings, ceiling rosettes or medallions
are one of the simplest yet most dramatic
additions to interiors and make a huge impact
on the quality of the ceiling. Even low ceilings
can be treated to provide interest and visually
increase the ceiling height.
Install medallions and rosettes
• To attach a ceiling medallion first determine
and mark the centre point on the ceiling,
and then drill a hole at the centre point in the
ceiling.
• If you choose an intricately detailed rose,
we recommend that you finish the product
before installation. Paint the decorative part
of the ceiling rose in your desired colour, or
apply any paint effect, and allow to dry.
Touch up any areas after mounting.
• Lightly dampen the back of the ceiling rose to
prevent excessive moisture suction. Cover the
entire back of the rose with a layer of Rhino
Art Adhesive to more or less the thickness of a
finger.
• Drill a hole in the centre of the rose, and at
regular spaced intervals around the outer
area. Push a screwdriver through the holes in
the ceiling rose to make a hole in the ceiling.
• On the other side of the ceiling, secure timber
(brandering) in which to screw the rose. Press
the ceiling rose firmly onto the ceiling and fix
it with screws through the holes in the ceiling
rose and ceiling into the brandering.
• Fill in any indentations with Spackle or Polyfilla,
and touch up with paint once dry.
NOTE: If installation a ceiling rose over an
existing light fitting or fan, ensure that the power
is switched off at the main circuit board.
