  Sizing is based on the Golden Rule called PHi

  This is the ratio calculation PHi (1.618) 

  Here is a simple calculation to consider

  1- (.618) = (.382)  ie 38.2%

  This keeps within the Golden Rule of Phi

  18" chandelier (widest point) x 1.38 = a 25 inch medallion

  No rules rule so select 29", 25" or what ever matches your design

  Always remember that when you view the medallion mounted on the

  ceiling it will appear much smaller from your perspective at a lower level

  By selecting one that uses the  golden rule calculation, it will appear to

  be the right size with the correct visual distortion

  There are notes on ArchPolymerTM and GRG-NeoPlasterTM

  Simple Answer:   No

  If you select ArchPolymerTM you must use an adhesive specially for

  this material otherwise it might damage the medallion. 

  Always read the instruction before applying.  

  Call for Larger Orders

  Simple Answer:  Yes but ...

  If you use latex filler to cover the gap between the medallion and the

  ceiling it invariably dries out over time and shrinks.  This vinyl splacking

  compound is way better as it dries hard and can be sanded.

  Always  read the instruction before applying.  

 The chandelier's canopy or cupola is shown above

 The canopy covers the electrical wires and the receptacle box in the ceiling

 The receptacle box is usually 3-3/4" octagon shape and is attached to the

 framing

 The canopy is attached to the treaded rod where the wires come out of the

 receptacle box

 The canopy does NOT go through to hole of the medallion rather it sits

 on the surface of the medallion

 The medallion may have a flat area around the hole or it may have a design

 You can select a medallion with a center flat area slightly larger than the

 diameter of the canopy or you can put the canopy directly to the decorative

 motif on the medallion covering part of the pattern. Since it is high up it is

 unlikely to be noticed. 

 For deep medallions you will need to acquire a longer threaded rod

 or extender to attach the connector
