How Does A Popcorn Ceiling Affect Your Space?
It is common to spot textured ceilings in both commercial and residential spaces. One of the reasons that popcorn ceilings became such a popular construction material is that they are thought to provide a myriad of benefits, particularly to homes. Properties built between the 1950’s – 1990’s often had textured ceilings. This material was thought to provide sound proofing and hide imperfections on smooth surfaces. These simple benefits are great but they do come with downsides.
Tough to Clean: In addition to looking terrible, this type of ceiling texture is incredibly difficult to clean. Rigid edges trap cobwebs and dust, increasing allergens and looking terrible. Sweeping away at dust bunnies can pull away at drywall texturing, chipping away at it, leaving bald patches and releasing particles into the air.
Potential Asbestos Exposure: Many property owners are quick to use scrapers in an attempt to remove the popcorn texture in an effort to get smooth ceilings. Scraping can lead to unintentional damage, meaning more effort and expenses to repair it later. In addition to damage, ceiling textures are often made using asbestos. This chemical was used widely before understanding just how dangerous it is. Asbestos is harmless when left undisturbed but when released can lead to respiratory illness and even cancer.
Negative Impact on Property Values: All the coats of paint in the world can’t hide a textured ceiling. The popcorn ceiling removal process is complicated but it is not the only texture that homeowners are worried about. Removing a swirl ceiling or orange peel texture involves more than a simple scrape and application of drywall mud or drywall compound and this can be a deterrent for potential buyers.
