PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION AVAILABLE

The Rose Hub was established as a dedicated ceiling rose division within Hubbard House, recognising that ceiling roses deserve specialist attention, not mass production.

With access to an extensive archive of heritage moulds developed and refined over more than five decades, The Rose Hub offers one of the most authentic plaster ceiling rose ranges available in Australia.

These moulds were working tools — used on real homes, refined by skilled tradespeople, and designed to suit real ceiling heights and proportions.

    INSTALLING CEILING ROSES & CEILING CENTRES

    Crafted for heritage homes. Installed with care.

    Important Safety Note

    Electrical safety comes first.
    Before any installation begins, a licensed electrician must isolate the light circuit. This allows the wiring to be safely passed through the centre of the ceiling rose once mounted.

    Step 1

    Surface Preparation

    Surface Preparation

    Proper preparation ensures a long-lasting bond. If the ceiling is already painted, lightly roughen the surface using 120–150 grit sandpaper. Score the perimeter area lightly with a sharp blade or apply a bonding agent (such as Bondcrete) to promote adhesion. For new plaster ceilings, no preparation is generally required. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, flaking paint, or loose material.

    Step 2

    Adhesive Mixing

    Adhesive Mixing

    Prepare a high-quality cornice cement or plaster adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix to a smooth, workable consistency — not too runny, not too stiff.

    Step 3

    Applying the Adhesive

    Applying the Adhesive

    Apply adhesive evenly around the rear outer edge of the ceiling rose. Avoid overloading — excess adhesive can squeeze out and create unnecessary cleanup.

    Step 4

    Positioning the Ceiling Rose

    Positioning the Ceiling Rose

    Carefully lift the ceiling rose into position, feeding the electrical wiring through the center opening. Press firmly and hold in place for several minutes to allow the adhesive to grab.

    Step 5

    Mechanical Fixing & Support

    Mechanical Fixing & Support

    Secure the ceiling rose using two to three screws into a ceiling joist or batten. Lightly prop the rose from the floor until the adhesive sets. Always use a soft buffer (towel, sponge, or foam) between the prop and the plaster to prevent surface damage.

    Step 6

    Clean-Up & Finishing

    Clean-Up & Finishing

    Remove excess adhesive immediately using a damp sponge or small tool. Once fully dry, apply a sealer undercoat before painting. Finish with your chosen topcoat color to match or enhance the ceiling. Designed to last. Installed with tradition in mind. Hubbard House Ceiling Roses A division of The Rose Hub
