Before considering this method there are two things to consider: Textured coatings very often contain asbestos about 5% Chrysotile (white asbestop) so try not to disturb e.g. Dont scrape! Polystyrene tiles are highly flammable and in the event of a fire they will provide a source of flammable material promoting the rapid spread of fire and the burning material will drip causing secondary fires. The smoke from the burning product is highly toxic and will rapidly spread to other parts of the property.

Easiest bet is to skim plaster over them or overplate with plaster board to give a smooth surface then paint, it will look like a new ceiling. The asbestos content is low about 5% (if confirmed to be an ACM) wear an FFP3 mask when screwing through plasterboard if thats the option you go for.

Plus, the texture of a popcorn ceiling is different than the smooth walls so it adds dimension and interest to the room. I even had the type of popcorn ceiling that you can clean with a damp mop sprayed in my kitchen. I love it!

However, removing a popcorn ceiling isn't difficult and should take less time and money than installing those panels. I just did this throughout my own home. It went a lot faster and was easier than I thought it would be. After I was done, I let the ceiling completely dry, and then used some drywall mud and sanding to fix a few problematic areas. Once I was done, I used some white ceiling paint, and it looked perfect.

In England, ceiling tiles can now be bought , made from incombustible vinyl. However, such tiles still remind me of those awful dangerous polystyrene tiles that could come, flaming , down if a fire broke out. Also the edge coving was equally ghastly. After a few years, badly installed tiles came adrift. I have had some of my Artexed ( peppercorn) ceilings skimmed over , by a skilled plasterer; yes all furniture and carpets must be well covered, but the result is a beautifully smooth ceiling. I then had gyproc coving installed , to finish off the rooms. The white result does not need painting , for quite a few years.

@bcreason 2 жыл бұрын

I did a very similar installation but the tiles snap into a grid that screws into the ceiling. There’s a bathroom above that sometimes leaks and we wanted to be able to access the ceiling in case of leaks. The plastic tiles are water proof and we can just pull them down if we need to. You can now buy low voltage pot lights that are 1/2 an inch thick. I cut circles in the center of some of the tiles and glued the pot lights into them. Since it’s low voltage I cut the wires that came with the lights and extended them with thin bell wire that I simply fed through the grid. You can do this as the low voltage is safe to touch or even short out. There’s not enough power in the wires for them to heat up when shorted or enough voltage to give you a shock if you touch them. I now have pot lights exactly in the center of the tiles and I didn’t have to cut holes in the drywall ceiling.

Good video. I would add one other thought. When when dividing up the tiles for spacing I would recommend making it so that your edge tiles are as large as possible rather than just snapping a line midway both directions. You may have to shift it to half a tile, off the center of the room. Also don't count on the room being square, so square your lines rather than going parallel to the walls. Probably for most houses that would be close enough, but I would check it and make sure. Thanks for the video.

I agree with the other people commenting on the fire hazard, I've seen videos of these on fire, quite terrifying! The best way to get rid of the popcorn is to scrape off all of the high spots and put up 1/2 inch sheet rock, you can locate the joists by drilling since it would not matter if you leave some holes, it's possible the popcorn was put up to hide cracks in a plaster ceiling (50s era house) in that case use hardened Philips screws to attach the sheetrock since the joists are probably oak and extremely hard after all this time (I know because I remodeled a 50's era house)

You should always test for asbestos, popcorn ceiling is notorious for containing asbestos as it was popular at the same time that asbestos was used in building materials. Scraping it off or drilling into it releases all the fibres. It’s sad to see people who think they know best posting all this potentially dangerous advice on KZfaq. I agree about the fire hazard but exposure to friable asbestos to your whole family is also a major health risk that needs to be considered.

I'm redoing a bathroom ceiling with plastic ceiling tiles & trim...the cost is very reasonable & the tiles can be painted as a future decor change. ...I was shocked to see polystyrene for a real home. Polystyrene materials are used fairly often to build room mockups for companies to use as mobile displays to showcase their products for sale.

I thought the popcorn ceiling looked better, it was clean and also is more fire resistant. it also had nice neat corners. But when they get damaged or dirty they can be hard to repair so it looks nice again. I am looking for something to put over an existing ceiling but do not want styrofoam or plastic on my ceiling.

You should have done the crown molding first, the way you did it left huge gaps where it touched the textured tiles.

@DecorativeCeilingTilesInc 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Richard, that is another way to go but if the molding's "lip" is not wide enough, it will not look great either. Most people, believe it or not, prefer gaps. There is also the option of using a filler tile where you can use a design less deep around the perimeter which will not have gaps and can be butted up easier.

@cheryldietrich7020 3 жыл бұрын

This is the problem we had, we had installed 3D PVC 2 by 2 ft ceiling tile, we could not apply crown due to big gaps near the wall. We may have to uninstall tiles to edge of wall & install 2 inch trim against the wall, then apply crown molding since we do not have any gaps.

@andrewjenkinson7052 2 жыл бұрын

Are polystyrene ceiling tiles a fire risk? Yes. Unfortunately polystyrene will begin to soften at relatively high-temperatures approaching 100°C and at that point will begin to shrink. When heated further they will melt and at this point they give off a gaseous and flammable product. If exposed to further heat such as during a house fire, the gases will ignite. The products that are released during melting can also be highly toxic. This does of course the question as to why these products are allowed in construction without further precautionary measures to render them safe during fire.

@Kenny1594 2 жыл бұрын

100 degree c is boiling temp for water... if you in same room as the tiles as they reach that temp get out... beyond that the sheet rock underneath the tiles IS fire retardant. So will slow the fire from spreading. People hang draps in front of windows which can be highly flammable. Point being you can NOT make everything in your house fire proof

@@Kenny1594 to state that houses are built to be evacuated very quickly is missing the point somewhat. If a fire starts in your lounge while you are in bed asleep, the presence of rapidly combustible materials will quickly escalate the fire possibly to the point where burning material is dripping from the ceiling, so even if you do wake up do you want to be running through a shower of burning plastic and noxious gas?
