Ceiling moulding: discreet but refined
Ceiling mouldings can have curves and shapes of great elegance.
The various mouldings allow the enhancement of your ceiling: Regency, Louis XV, Moorish or art deco …
Mouldings take the form of rosettes and domes attached to the ceiling, for example, around a chandelier.
What material for ceiling moulding?
Ceiling moulding is available in different materials:
Plaster
– The best finish.
– A vast choice of shapes and finishes.
– The most expensive: a staffer can even create a model on request or by copying.
Polystyrene
– Very average finish.
– Low price.
Wood
– Heavy, therefore less suitable for ceilings than for walls.
– Quite expensive.
Polyurethane
– Quite a nice finish.
– A little more expensive.
Installing ceiling moulding: easy job for a DIY enthusiast
The moulding installation is accessible to all: it is enough to prepare clean and dry support.
The installation is done by gluing:
– Before gluing, locate the rosette and trace its support line on the ceiling.
– Apply the glue, press firmly and remove the excess glue.
– Double glue the polystyrene and the plaster.
– Mask the joints (if any) between the different elements with filler applied with a spatula or finger.
After drying, gently sand the joints with fine-grit sandpaper and dust off the moulding can then be painted with acrylic or vinyl paint.
Installing a rosette to hide a fixing
Don’t forget to turn off the power while installing the rosette.
The rose is a highly decorative element that also has the function of masking a light fixture.
Make a cut of a few centimetres for the passage of electrical wires.
The installation is done in the same way as simple moulding.
Take care of the jointing; the light distributed by the light fixture makes it visible.
