Ceilings: The Forgotten Frontier

Most people do not put much thought into how they decorate their ceilings, but your ceiling can have a huge affect on the entire look and feel of your home. Ceilings are normally considered a wall area, where they are painted one neutral color, but there are accents that you can add to your ceiling that will help to make them more visually appealing and interesting. This includes ceiling medallions, ceiling domes, and lighting rims.

Ceiling medallions are a great way to draw the eye to the ceiling. From simple ceiling medallions to more detailed ones, you are sure to find one that goes with the decorating style and feel of your room. They are constructed of polyurethane, which is resistant to rotting, warping, and splitting, which is another great benefit. They come in white, but they can be painted any color that you want or you can use a paint treatment on them to make them even more beautiful and visually interesting. They can be used in conjunction with a lighting fixture to help dress it up and make it more beautiful to look at or they can be used alone as a decorative feature, whichever you prefer.

Ceiling domes are another option for your ceilings to help make them more interesting and fun to look at. Chandeliers are made more even more beautiful with the addition of a ceiling dome. Ceiling domes are recessed into the ceiling which makes them a cohesive part of the ceiling. They can be painted or a paint treatment can be used, including gold or silver leafing. If you have a chandelier or are planning to install a chandelier as a focal point in one of the rooms in your home, then you will definitely want to consider a ceiling dome.

One versatile piece of ceiling décor is the lighting rims. These rims can be used as a trim around your lighting fixture or you can use them in conjunction with ceiling medallions to help create a custom look for your ceiling or to increase the size of the ceiling medallion. They come in decorative, detailed versions or simpler versions, depending upon your needs and desires.

All of these ceiling accents are constructed of polyurethane. They can be used as they are or you can get creative with them and paint or do a treatment on them. From gold or silver leafing to painting to sponging, you are sure to create a ceiling that becomes a focal point to help make your entire room more interesting and visually appealing. If your ceiling is tired and boring, then you will want to consider adding one of these ceiling accents in your room. You will be glad you did.

FAQ’S About Our Decorative Products

Our goal at Goceilingmedallion is to provide you with the best selection of high quality decorative ceiling products so that you can create the perfect ceiling for the room you want to live in.

We only sell products from reputable manufacturers at the high end of the quality range. Our manufacturers are dedicated to providing only quality product. We are all dedicated to excellence and to our customers.

To that end, I wanted to take a few moments to address some of our customer’s most frequent product questions.

What are the benefits of using polyurethane molding and decorative accents over other materials such as wood, plaster or gypsum?

Polyurethane products are engineered and manufactured to fit well against your walls and ceilings easily. Polyurethane products eliminate splintering, cracking, warping, rotting and finish sanding that are more common with wood products.

Plaster and gypsum products are heavy, creating problems with shipping and installation. Our polyurethane products are water and heat resistant, impervious to insects, and will not rot, crack, shrink, splinter, or warp.

Can I paint or finish my polyurethane product?

All of our products can be painted with any high quality latex or oil based paint. You can add a gold, silver or copper leaf finish for a more majestic appearance. Faux finish your ceiling medallion or crown molding in a marble, granite or gemstone surface. Experiment with one of the newer decorative finishes, like suede, leather, sponging or stippling.

Lacquer based paints or finishes are not recommended, however. Otherwise, the decorative possibilities are limitless.

Is it beneficial to use fiberglass products?

Fiberglass products have been used for automobile and boating manufacture because of their resistant qualities. Fiberglass also has characteristics which allow for large product construction. Our manufacturers carry ceiling domes and niches made of fiberglass with these same impact resistant properties while retaining the beauty and elegance of handcrafted ceiling products. Domes and wall niches manufactured from fiberglass can be molded into one single piece. Each of our products is factory-primed and ready for your finishing ideas.

Are polyurethane products as easy to maintain when placed outdoors?

Definitely! All products from our manufacturers are factory-primed and essentially maintenance free. Our products take nails without splitting, saw like wood; they are lightweight and durable. Polyurethane resists water, heat and insect infestation.

Are polyurethane and fiberglass architectural accents easy to install?

Complete and illustrated instructions for installation are provided with each of our products. Some are more difficult to install, such as our ceiling domes and wall niches, and may require good carpentry skills. Overall, polyurethane and fiberglass products are easier to install than wood, plaster and gypsum products due to their weight and size, as well as dimensional stability, precise tolerances and flexibility.

Do your products meet all applicable building codes?

Our products have undergone rigorous testing and meet or exceed all industry standards. All regional building codes and requirements should be reviewed prior to installation.
