Minka Aston Court 26 1/2" Wide Ceiling Medallion

I had expected something that was more of a thin plastic shell held up by the light fixture. I was surprised that this unit was mad of solid plastic foam. Much more durable but still lighter than if it had been mad of the traditional plaster of Paris. The primary attachment is by polyurethane construction adhesive to the ceiling. My ceiling is highly textured where the texturing method actually left small peaks coming down. To get the medallion to sit close enough to the ceiling to glue I had to scrape the texture somewhat smooth in the area of the medallion. I had expected that I was going to need to do some scraping anyway to get a good fit. Rather that following the instructions about putting casement screws through the medallion to hold it until the glue dried. I made four 2x2 inch washers out of 1/4 plywood and fastened the medallion with screws through the openings around the edge of the medallion. That way I left the integrity of the medallion surface intact. I got lucky in that the ceiling plate for my light just covered the 4" diameter hole in the medallion. Very close fit, but just enough. I am quire happy with the over all appearance.

I would recommend this product.

Beautiful medalllion that really accents our entryway. Easy to install and lightweight.
