Suitability of ceiling for a ceiling rose

Question

How do I know that my ceiling will support a ceiling rose correctly?

David · Answer

Check what type of ceiling it is, whether it's a plasterboard or a lathe and plaster one. You would use different fixings depending on the type and weight of the rose. 
Or you may get away with just gluing it as long as it's not papered and the paint is sound.

Lee · Answer

It’s best for the ceiling rose to be screwed through the plasterboard ceiling and into the joists that are holding the ceiling up. This will fix it more secure than just onto the plasterboard

Alastair · Answer

Ceiling Roses should come with wooden lath in them designed to be screwed trough fixing them into timber joists. Use adhesive and appropriate screws to fix them to the ceiling.  If your ceiling is plasterboard or lath and plaster (providing the lath and plaster is solid without heavy cracking or movement) then there should be adequate strapping to fix to. If your ceiling is concrete or has no timber framing then I wouldn't advise fitting a rose using Purley adhesive. Unless it's a very small lightweight rose. Plaster casted roses can be quite heavy depending on size. Always make sure the rose is properly dried out before fitting. Hope this helps.

by looking for the beams and inserting additional fixings you can fit weight to it

U can get some really good adhesive out there and u can screw it

Glen · Answer

Ceiling rose can be fitted onto the joists, can be screwed straight to them if the ceiling boards aren't strong enough to support.
