Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Textured ceilings were once very popular because they helped to absorb sound and reduce echoes. Since then, the style has gone out of favor, and it is hardly ever seen in modern design. Unfortunately, it may still be found in many older homes. This is most likely due to the fact that popcorn ceilings are notoriously difficult to remove.
While it may be tempting to try to remove it yourself, this is a job best left to commercial painting contractors. It’s not just a difficult profession, but it also has the potential to be dangerous. There are a few things to consider when you’re ready to finally get rid of that popcorn ceiling.
Removing Textured And Popcorn Ceilings
To understand how to remove a popcorn ceiling or any other textured ceiling, we must first grasp what it is. The texture on this spray-on or paint-on ceiling coating used to be made of white asbestos, but after the 1970s, it was replaced with a paper-based or Styrofoam product. Depending on the type of substance used, removing it can become a considerably more difficult task.
When it comes to removing any form of textured ceiling treatment, one thing is certain: it will be a multi-step process. The steps are outlined here to give you an idea of what to expect.
The Removal Process
- Light fixtures and switches are being removed from the room.
- Because there is enough residue, dust, and material removed, all furniture and floors are totally masked.
- Unpainted stucco (popcorn ceiling) is easy to remove because it only needs to be dissolved with a water-based solution.
- Because the underlying is impacted, painted stucco requires more effort to remove and typically necessitates additional prep following removal.
- The substrate will be entirely filled after removal to offer a new flat finish.
- Before applying the finish coat, the new filling will be sanded and primed.
- All of the items that have been removed will be vacuumed and cleaned.
Benefits Of Removal
So, why should you go to the trouble of removing those popcorn ceilings? To begin with, it offers your house a much more sleek and modern appearance. It’ll amaze you how much of a difference it makes!
If you’re planning to sell your home soon, it’s also a good idea to get rid of it. Many purchasers will avoid purchasing a home if they know they will have to invest in further renovations right away.
When surfaces begin to age, they can sometimes begin to yellow, which is an aesthetic issue. If there is any water damage, this can also happen. It’s best to remove it rather than paint over it in the long term, because it’ll only happen again.
Popcorn Ceiling Might Contain Asbestos
Before you start the process of removing your popcorn ceiling, there is one important thing you must consider. As previously stated, some older homes may have asbestos and lead-contaminated popcorn ceilings. If your home was built before 1981, you’ll need to have it tested for these contaminants before you start removing them.
If asbestos or lead is present, the process can become much more difficult. In this case, the job must be done by professionals who have been trained to work with asbestos. It’s critical to take extra care because breathing in dust can be quite dangerous. You’ll probably have to totally block off the room throughout the painting process, and you won’t be permitted back in until all of the dust has been gone.
