OLD CEILING SECTION

WHAT IS SPRAY-ON ACOUSTIC?

Acoustic Ceilings are also known as "Popcorn" Ceilings. This is a term for a spray-on acoustic ceiling treatment often used in the 1960s and 1970s in American residential construction. It has a bright white cottage cheese texture, and often small bits of gold-colored glitter are attached. This acoustic ceiling treatment was good at covering poor workmanship and helped eliminate echoes and reflected sound. It was also quickly and easily applied, inexpensive to do and saved builders tons of money.

This style of ceiling finish fell out of favor in the late 1970s when asbestos was banned, as it sometimes contained asbestos. Today ceiling styles have changed to a softer more natural look. We now often see removal of the spray-on acoustic texture and replacement with a more esthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly ceiling finish.

YOU'LL LOVE THE NEW LOOK!

Also, popcorn ceilings become very unattractive when they get dirty and are hard to paint or patch. They attract and harbor dust and dirt particles floating freely in your household air. Removing the old acoustic from you ceiling and replacing it with a more modern texture will not only bring your home up to date and give it a fresh new look and feel, but may even add value to your property and help contribute to the quality of your indoor air. Also, you’ll love the new look. The actual removal process is relatively simple, but it does involve a lot of preparation work to protect the walls and floors. Also, due to the age of the existing ceiling there will likely be repairs needed to the ceilings drywall, such as replacing loose tape and repairing holes. Additionally, these old ceilings which have been painted may need extra work to remove since the paint actually hardens the ceiling surface past the point of which the wetting material can penetrate. This can be determined prior to starting the removal so that no unknown expenses will be incurred by the property owner.
