hi lads, sorry if in wrong category please MOD move if so.
just a quick bit of help, been asked to fit 2 rather large and heavy ceiling roses end of week, on fresh plaster ceilings. ill tell you my method i was going to take as fitted few before but nothing as big!
watery pva to kill the suction , find center of room with string lines etc.... use plasterboard adhesive, find a joist after marking out the diameter of the rose with the center of room and pre-drill 2-3 holes in rose, stick up and screw few long screws in pinch tight, prob counter sink so i can pinch and fill in one.
does this sound about right?? as i also do minor coving jobs but am always worried about the product falling down due to poor key and weight, only 1 job has in the past but i learnt and keyed up the paint next time lol
if anyone has any tips as im scared i may crack it while drilling holes for screws and/or the weight just in general and making sure its fixed.
cheers guys
