Life After Acoustic (popcorn) Ceilings…giving Your Ceilings a Fresh Attractive Look

LIFE AFTER ACOUSTIC (POPCORN) CEILINGS…GIVING YOUR CEILINGS A FRESH  NEW ATTRACTIVE LOOK

Now that the acoustic (popcorn) has been successfully removed and properly disposed of you  can finally begin to breathe a sigh of relief! Gone are the unattractive little pebbles that  held pockets of dust, dirt and allergen. Gone are the cobwebs and those awful insect bile stains that you could not remove without damaging the acoustic. Good riddance. And now  that  the ceilings have completely dried from the acoustic removal process, we are ready to now  ascertain some of the questions about what should we do next and how should we go about  doing it.

In the article “How To Remove Acoustics (popcorn) From Your Ceilings Once And For All”, I  briefly described how to repair areas on your ceilings that might have been damaged by  scraping off the acoustics. And in another article I wrote ” How To Finish Drywall…And  Achieve Excellent Results”, I gave a step by step guide on how to finish drywall. But in  this particular article I will assume that you have read them both and I will focus on  outlining a plan to help you achieve a nice attractive ceiling that looks beautiful and yet  is very easy to maintain. If you have not read the two articles that leads up to this one,  please feel free to click on the links and discover how it’s all done.

At this point you should have ceilings that are clean, smooth and dry. Although it has taken  quite a bit of work to reach this step, you should feel pleased to see that underneath all  that popcorn stuff–your ceilings don’t look so bad after all. But it is not finished and  that is the journey we are about to embark on. For the sake of simplicity we are going to  implement a plan that will help us acquire ceilings that are just the opposite of the  acoustic/popcorn mess. We want ceilings that are environmentally safe (no asbestos), non  allergenic, lovely in appearance and down right easy to maintain…for years to come!

And my overwhelming choice for a solution to the acoustic/popcorn ceiling is a light  application of “orange peel” texture. Yes, this type of texture gets its name from its  similar appearance to the hull of an orange. The  fruit that so many of us love has a texture  that is named after its hull. In essence, that’s how we get the name “orange peel”. Once it  has been sprayed on your ceilings you should be able to see the close resemblance it has to  the exterior hull of an orange; it really is astoundingly similar. Learn More
