I've bought a 72cm plaster ceiling rose that I want to fit in a room. It came without fitting instructions and is very heavy (~8.7kg).
If anyone has any experience fitting heavy roses I'd very much appreciate some pointers.
The wife also wants to fit a chandelier below it which looks from the catalogue like it fits to the ceiling with a single chain. Presumably I need some kind of hook fixing to attach to the joist above, and I'm trying to work out the logistics of whether to fix a hook first, then fit the rose around the hook (with an unpleasant large hole in the centre of the rose for the hook to pass through), or fit the rose first, and then attach a hook through the rose (I'm worried of cracking the rose).
Any helpful information would be much appreciated - I am beginning to wonder whether I'd be better off paying a decorator to fit it for me.
Thanks for any responses.
