Medallones/rosetas personalizados

However, there were drawbacks: traditional materials imposed serious limitations on both architects and contractors. For example, the weight of luxurious marble medallions required additional work to reinforce the ceilings. And the fragility of plaster ceiling medallions made their transportation and installation unreasonably expensive. Carved rosettes in plaster or wood also required skilled on-site labor, and replacing a single damaged piece was rarely quick or affordable.

We give classic designs a new lease on life

Is it possible to use elements in building finishes that visually resemble those made from traditional materials, yet are lighter, stronger, and low-maintenance? “Yes,” say our experts. We manufacture architectural foam shapes that visually closely resemble stone or stucco, while offering the engineering advantages of the future.

Custom architectural foam is the core of our work, and custom medallions and rosettes are one of its most detailed applications. Every piece goes through in-house architectural fabrication: EPS foam is shaped on CNC equipment in our 45,000 sq. ft. workshop in Florida and then sealed with a polyurea hard coat. This is how our foam ceiling medallions and stucco medallions keep crisp relief while remaining light enough to install without heavy lifting equipment — a practical alternative to custom marble medallions or cast plaster.

Here’s where these innovations show up:

• Geometric variety. Our catalog features more than just round medallions, which are considered standard for interior design. Our design library also includes square ceiling medallions, oval medallions, and even rectangular ceiling medallions. This allows you to integrate such decor into any ceiling or wall grid. Oval ceiling medallions suit long dining rooms and hallways, while square medallions and rectangle ceiling medallions line up neatly with coffered ceilings and paneled walls.
• Style range. Victorian ceiling medallions with layered foliage, modern art deco ceiling medallions with stepped geometry, and classic patterns with fine beading can all be reproduced in foam. For minimalist interiors, contemporary ceiling medallions and mid century ceiling medallion keep the profile low and clean. If you want unique ceiling medallions, our team can customize an existing pattern or design a new one and show you in a 3D visualization before production.
• Realistic texture replication. Using a high-performance polyurea hard coat we can replicate a wide variety of surfaces. These include impressive brass medallions for wall panels, antique ceiling medallions for living rooms or event halls, and custom tile medallions for kitchen backsplashes. An aged patina turns faux ceiling medallions into convincing vintage ceiling medallions, and a weathered texture suits rustic ceiling medallions in farmhouse or lodge interiors. Painted ceiling medallions can be finished in any color — from crisp white to deep black — to match the room.
• Outdoor solutions. Our exterior house medallions look just like real plaster shapes, yet they are resistant to moisture and UV rays. This is the optimal solution for building facades and entrance areas. Large outdoor wall medallions work well above entry doors, on gable walls, and between windows, giving the look of exterior plaster medallions in a lighter, moisture-resistant form. Interior pieces are finished with an emphasis on fine detail and paint quality, while exterior pieces are specified for sun and moisture exposure — so tell us where the medallion will be installed when you request a quote.

Why choose Decorative Architectural Shapes products over standard PVC or polyurethane?

Unlike mass-market products (thin vinyl or PVC rosettes), our custom ceiling medallions feature a dense structure and a surface reinforced with a hard polyurea coating. They don’t warp from the heat of light bulbs and do not yellow over time. Whether you need small ceiling medallions for a cozy bedroom or extra-large ceiling medallions for a hotel lobby, you can be sure to receive industrial-grade craftsmanship from us.

How to choose the right size and mounting option

A ceiling light medallion should be proportional to both the room and the fixture it frames. A common designer rule of thumb: add the room’s length and width in feet and use the sum as an approximate diameter in inches. For a 12 × 14 ft room, that points to a medallion of about 26 inches. In rooms with high ceilings, large ceiling medallions help the fixture read at a distance, while in compact spaces a smaller piece looks more balanced.

When you choose a ceiling medallion for a ceiling fan, measure the fan canopy so the center opening fits it, and check that the outer relief stays clear of the blades. If the fixture is already in place, 2 piece ceiling medallions (split designs) can be installed around it.

Wall medallions follow a different logic: small wall medallions work above doors, windows, and fireplaces, while large rosettes become focal points on stair walls, in lobbies, or on facades. To prepare an accurate quote, it helps to have the ceiling or wall dimensions, the fixture canopy size, photos or drawings of the desired pattern, the preferred finish, the quantity, and whether the pieces are for interior or exterior use.

Where our medallions are used

Architectural medallions from our workshop are specified for private homes, hotel lobbies and event venues, restaurants, retail interiors, and historic renovation projects. Architects, interior designers, and contractors order decorative rosettes as part of a larger ceiling or facade package, often together with trim medallions and decorative moldings so that every detail shares one style.

A typical renovation scenario looks like this: an old house has lost several plaster rosettes to cracks and water damage. Instead of recasting them, the owner sends photos and measurements of the surviving ceiling rosette, and the pattern is reproduced as a lightweight replica — including large Victorian rosettes for the main rooms — ready to be painted to match the original ceiling.
