Purpose-built plaster repair

These zinc-plated steel ceiling buttons are designed to secure sagging plaster ceilings by providing a large bearing surface for drywall screws. The 1000-piece pack suits contractors or property managers handling multiple rooms or whole-house renovations.

Sustained load behaviour

The wide diameter distributes clamping force across fragile plaster, reducing the risk of pull-through during long-term gravitational stress. Perforations allow spackle to key mechanically, so the repair resists vibration and seasonal movement without cracking loose.

Practical interface limits

Each button requires a standard drywall screw, which is not included in the pack. The countersunk centre accepts only that screw profile, so alternative fasteners such as nails or wider-head screws cannot be used. Buyers without a screw gun or drill will find installation impractical.

Questions about this item

Do the zinc-plated steel ceiling buttons generate any heat or noise during all-day installation?

No, these are passive metal washers with no moving parts, so they produce no heat or sound while being driven into plaster ceilings.

What fasteners do I need to already have on hand to use the 1" ceiling buttons?

You will need drywall screws that fit the countersunk centre hole of each washer.

Will the 52389 ceiling buttons work with the existing plaster and lath in an older home?

Yes, the perforated design holds spackle so repairs blend into original plaster and lath ceilings.
