Ceiling Buttons for Plaster Repair
These zinc-plated steel ceiling buttons are designed to secure sagging plaster ceilings. Each washer is countersunk to accept a drywall screw and perforated so spackle can bond through the holes for a concealed finish. The pack contains 100 pieces for whole-room or multi-room work. They suit homeowners and tradespeople re-securing loose plaster without removing the original lath.
Practical Limits of the Fastening Method
The buttons rely on sound lath or framing behind the plaster for the screw to bite; they cannot bridge gaps where the substrate has crumbled or pulled away. Perforations hold compound but do not replace a structural base, so severely detached sections may still require re-lathing. Installation is limited to the reach of the user's ladder or scaffold and the length of the screws chosen.
Pack Quantity Decides Coverage
The box supplies exactly 100 buttons, so the buyer must measure the affected area and plan screw spacing to confirm one pack is sufficient. Larger ceilings or wider spacing will need additional packs, while smaller patches may leave leftovers. No other specification varies between packs, making quantity the only figure that determines whether this SKU matches the job.

How well do these buttons hold a sagging plaster ceiling once installed?
They are large-diameter washers countersunk for a drywall screw and perforated so spackle keys into the holes, locking the repair in place.
