Ceiling Buttons for Plaster Repair
These zinc-plated steel ceiling buttons are designed to secure sagging plaster ceilings. The pack contains 100 pieces suitable for professional or DIY restoration work. Each button acts as a large-diameter washer that distributes load across fragile plaster surfaces. They are intended for use with drywall screws to reattach loose ceiling material.
Countersunk Design and Perforated Surface
The buttons feature a countersunk centre that accepts a standard drywall screw for a flush finish. Perforations across the face allow spackle or joint compound to key into the metal, helping to conceal the repair. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments. The hardware installs with basic tools and sits flat against the ceiling once driven.
Limits of Mechanical Plaster Support
These buttons rely on the holding power of the screw into sound framing or lath behind the plaster. They cannot compensate for structural movement or severe water damage that has weakened the substrate. The 100-piece quantity covers a moderate repair area but larger ceilings will require additional packs. No adhesive or bonding agent is included with the fasteners.

Questions about this item
What screw size fits the countersunk hole in these 53265 ceiling buttons?
The countersunk centre is made for a standard drywall screw; choose a length that reaches the joist through your plaster and lath.
How much clearance do I need above the ceiling to drive the screws?
You only need room for a drill or driver bit — the buttons sit flat against the plaster once installed.
What is the common mistake when fastening these plaster washers?
Over-driving the screw crushes the plaster instead of pulling it tight; stop when the washer seats flush.
