| For larger ceiling roses a different approach is needed.
Holes need to be cut into the ceiling so the bonding agent
can be forced up through the holes. Large ceiling roses are
exceedingly heavy and need to be attached very firmly to the
ceiling or disaster will be inevitable. For very heavy
ceiling roses which weigh 10 kg or more you will need to
grout up and over the ceiling timber as well. If you are
installing a ceiling rose which has a lacy "see through"
design you will need to ensure the holes in the ceiling are
not made above the location of the lacy parts in the ceiling
rose. Make sure the ceiling holes are directly above the
solid parts of the ceiling rose so there is enough surface
area to contact and bond well. Ensure the bonding agent
cannot be seen through the design holes in the ceiling rose.
A mixture of grouting plaster and fibreglass is used to
attach larger ceiling roses. Please contact your local
plaster retailer or hardware shop for recommended products
and ratios to use. When you have finished grouting the
ceiling rose to the ceiling, prop up the rose for 30 minutes
or so. A good prop would be a piece of timber with a rag or
magazine up top to protect the ceiling rose from accidental
damage. After the ceiling rose has been stuck firmly you can wipe off any excess plaster or cement with a well wrung out wet cloth. When your ceiling rose is dry, check out any areas which may be in need of a paint touch up. Touch up paint is supplied by us free of charge. Please note this is only supplied for local customers - we cannot post touch-up paint to you. Use only a small brush for touch up work. You now should have a delightful addition to your decor with an interior design project that cost very little in comparison to the effect it creates in your room. |
