Ekena Millwork 18"OD x 3 5/8"ID x 1 1/8"P Diane Ceiling Medallion (Fits Canopies up to 5 3/8"), Hand-Painted Spartan Stone

We had to install ceiling fans and lights where 12" square holes were in a plaster ceiling. It required an 18" Medallion. They were the perfect size and the solid construction made them strong enough to be able to put the ceiling fan and lights up without buckling. We put one ceiling fan light up without a fan. Used a 4" pvc male adapter and enlarged the hole on the medallion and threaded it onto the pvc. Tapped screw holes into the pvc and put the light up like it was attached to the fan. Also the medallions were 1/2 the price or better than at the local box stores and all of those were thin plastic. In the process of installing I did drop one and it did not crack or dent so that was proof of their strong composition. This site was one of the easiest to use.

Our son's room needed painting and because the ceiling had some water damage. I was concerned about the popcorn spray texture. Sure enough, it came off in chunks around the light fixture. The medalion not only allowed me to cover the lost texture but made the room much more classy. I am encouraged that we can reclaim his room after all. Installing the medallion was easy and it matched the dome lamp very well.
