large ceiling roses, how to fit.

[Fourplastering]

Draw an outline around the rose where you want the rose to go then find your joists within the outline.
Use a straight edge and draw along the joist/s extending beyond the outline.
reposition the rose and mark where the joist lines are.
Put on a bench and drill anywhere between the marks but more than a 1/4 from the edge unless absolutely necessary.
Might sound obvious but don't use screws that can rust.

You could stick it up with uni-finish & no screws :RpS_scared:

Once again nisus, I've said it before, you sir are a feckin genius !!!:RpS_thumbup:

cheers mate, thats what i was going to do with marking out the joist, you just explained it a lot better than i did lol but sounds a good idea to then replace the rose and mark and drill on the bench rather than just trying it straight off the bat like i was going to lol

cheers pal

 

[Nisus]

It's a lot easier that way mate :RpS_thumbup:

Minge has just being telling me on the cracking thread that he's perfect................:RpS_bored:

No worries
As others have said, countersink the holes for screws but make sure its strong enough to hold, sometimes they can be like eggshells in places.
