polyurethane ceiling medallion

A polyurethane ceiling medallion is a decorative polyurethane element, usually round and ornamented, mounted at the centre of a ceiling. It is used to create a focal point on the ceiling around a chandelier or lighting fixture. Polyurethane is lightweight and applied directly to the ceiling with mounting adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or swell and can be painted. It is far lighter and more break-resistant than a plaster medallion and can be mounted by one person. Because the ornamental details are mould-produced, they repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces ceiling medallions in different diameters and patterns.
