What To do with that textured Ceiling

Time to get rid of your textured ceiling?

You may have heard textured ceilings referred to as “acoustical” ceilings or “popcorn” ceilings. Textured ceilings provide good sound absorption, or good “acoustics.” They are more commonly referred to as “popcorn” ceilings due to their bumpy appearance which resembles the yummy, buttery snack. 

Unfortunately, that’s where the similarity ends. Textured ceilings can retain dirt and cigarette or fireplace smoke because they are difficult to keep clean. Not very appealing!

 

 Perhaps more importantly, textured ceilings installed prior to 1980 may contain asbestos and should be tested. 

  • You need to get the facts – start by having a professional test your ceilings for asbestos.
  • Ask questions – is abatement required, or are there other options?
  • Know your pros – know what the professionals can, and cannot, do for you.
