Blog - Fixing a Ceiling Rose

For best results in all cases ensure that the surface to where the ceiling rose is to be fixed and installed is clean, dry and flat. Repair major defects; slight defects will not be visible once the job is finished.

Hold the ceiling rose or centrepiece in the position you want it to be, and mark a pencil line around the outside edge.

Using a nail probe within the marked circle, find the ceiling joists. Using a galvanised (or rust proof ) nail or screw, fasten to the joists through the lathes in the centrepiece. NEVER RELY ON ONLY THE ADHESIVE TO DO THE JOB.

If you want to have a light fitting through the ceiling rose, simply drill a hole for the wires and thread them through.

WHEN FIXING THE LIGHT FITTING MAKE SURE IT IS FASTENED SECURELY TO THE CEILING JOIST NOT THE CENTREPIECE.

Once fixed, fill the perimeter as described on the cornice fitting page.
