Under some circumstances, such as movie theatres, popcorn ceiling is a great way to help dampen sound, but not so much any more for complete ceiling projects.
Popcorn ceilings and their variants, also known as textured ceilings, were a must have thing that started sometime in the 1960’s and continued to be popular throughout the eighties.
Popcorn ceiling is created by spraying a mix of plaster onto the ceiling or, in the case of texture, hand-plastered and dimpled for some effect with a sponge or similar tool.
Unfortunately, with age, popcorn ceiling fades and yellows especially with smokers in the room. Painting over popcorn ceiling can be a challenge and there is often dust and other debris – spiders and cobwebs – that get caught up there. Another downfall is that if there is ever a need to do any repairs, it becomes next to impossible to match up the finish.
