POPCORN CEILING TEXTURE REMOVAL
Popcorn texture was widely used across north america decades ago. Stucco and Plaster was at the forefront of finishing materials outside the building as well as inside. It was much easier to spray popcorn texture on the ceilings as it hid imperfection very well so that skilled labour can be paid less to be more focused on the walls. Over time, popcorn had lost its aesthetic appeal (if it ever had any!) and better options came along. Drywall board and compounds came up and improved, replacing the plaster, and brought in skilled tradesmen to make our walls and ceilings smooth efficiently. What also came was a new compound for texturing ceilings and it looks much better! This texture doesn't collect dust and dirt nearly as fast so that repainting could be considered much less often. There are also other options such as the upgrade of knockdown ceilings. Knockdown is done by letting the textured mud set up for a few minutes, and then carefully wiping with a trowel or blade to evenly flatten the texture down a bit. Many houses were built in the Fraser Valley and lower mainland that got sprayed with popcorn texture, but it is time for that to go! People don't want to see it anymore, but instead of tearing down the house or even just the drywall, we can scrape off the popcorn texture as much as possible. We can then smoothen out your ceilings to which you can then decide to paint it smooth, or give it a new layer of texture. Ask us today for a free quote.
