Reasons Not to Just Paint a Ceiling with Popcorn Texture
Popcorn ceilings were incredibly popular in Arizona home construction in the 1960s and 70s. Aside from the once "attractive" appeal of this type of texture, it also was the perfect cover for poor drywall workmanship and helped to eliminate echoes in the room. The popcorn-style ceiling pattern is so random, it also offered a quick fix for finishing new construction.
Today, you will find that most homes constructed in that era that haven't been remodeled will almost always have the tacky texture in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Refinishing your ceilings is often your best bet as this texture makes ceiling painting and cleaning an extremely difficult chore. These are two big reasons why this form of texture went out of style in the first place. The primary reason had to do with the 1970s ban on asbestos, which was commonly found in the substance used for this texture.
The removal of unsightly popcorn acoustic ceilings offers many benefits to both your health and your wallet. Simply retexturing your ceilings can instantly update the look and feel of your home. Not only will it help to modernize your home, it will also help to increase your home's equity and its resale value should you choose to sell.
