Hayes Round No-Hole Ceiling Rose 23cm - Polished Nickel

A plain circle of polished nickel, 23cm across and shallow enough to sit close against the ceiling, this is the finishing piece that gives a hanging light a proper top. The face is solid, with no hole punched through it, so what you see is an unbroken disc of bright metal rather than a busy centre. It is a heavy duty pattern, with enough substance to read as part of the fitting rather than a thin cover. Nothing here is decorative for its own sake; it simply squares off the point where a flex leaves the ceiling.

We reach for a plate like this when a pendant has been made up from parts and the ceiling above it needs to look considered: a single flex over a dining table, a cluster in a stairwell, a row of shades along a kitchen island. It suits anyone building their own light from components, and it suits a wide shade that would look odd above a small, mean disc. We keep it for dry rooms indoors, so hallways, bedrooms, sitting rooms and kitchens rather than a bathroom zone or anywhere it would meet the weather.

Polished nickel gives a bright silver with a little warmth in it, which sits happily beside nickel and chrome pieces already in a room. Like any polished metal it shows fingerprints, so an occasional pass with a dry microfibre cloth keeps the shine even; leave the cream cleaners and scouring pads alone, as they will dull the surface for good. It carries a one year warranty. The same polished nickel runs through the metal cable grip kits in this range, so the flex hardware can be matched to the plate instead of fighting it. This is an accessory rather than a light in its own right, and the lamp belongs to whatever hangs beneath it.

What size is the plate?

It measures 230mm in diameter and stands 25mm deep, weighing 0.72kg.

Is there a hole through the middle?

No. This is the no hole version, so the visible face is a continuous disc of polished nickel.

Does it include any electrical parts or a lamp?

It does not. The plate is a non-electric accessory, and the lamp is dictated by the pendant or fitting used with it.

How should I clean polished nickel?

Dust it with a soft dry cloth and buff away fingerprints with a microfibre. Avoid metal polishes, abrasive creams and solvents, which can mark the plating.

Can it be used in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry rooms indoors only.

Is there matching hardware in the same finish?

Yes. The Hayes metal cable grip kits are offered in polished nickel, so cord grips and plate can be kept to one finish.
