Popcorn ceilings are largely becoming a home feature from the past. Many homeowners are discovering the many reasons why popcorn ceiling removal is a good idea. Continued from Part 1, here are 4 more reasons why it’s time to bid your popcorn ceiling adieu: Denver CO Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Other Drywall Textures Have Better Aesthetics
It’s no secret to most people that popcorn ceilings are outdated. They used to be commonly found in houses many decades ago but are now a sign that the house hasn’t been rejuvenated in many, many years. There is plenty of alternative drywall texturing options that feature a more modern aesthetic. For example, smooth ceilings are known for their flat, sleek appearance that enhances the feel of a room. Knockdown texture and orange peel are two more popular drywall textures that give an interior depth and character. Other drywall textures can also be applied to both ceilings and walls to create an intriguing and cohesive aesthetic. Your local drywall contractor in Denver can help you explore different options for your home.
Dirty & Dusty Appearance
Popcorn ceilings are like dust magnets, any debris floating through the air can get stuck on and stay on popcorn ceilings. This contributes to poor indoor air quality and can have negative health impacts. What’s more, is there is no hiding the appearance of dust on your popcorn ceiling. Even if you’re used to the appearance of your popcorn ceiling, newcomers in your home can quickly spot dust and debris. Nobody likes looking at a dirty ceiling, but that’s just the way it goes with popcorn ceilings. They’re also tedious to clean. The dark, shadowy-like appearance that just doesn’t disappear on a popcorn ceiling is unattractive and pretty gross. This is a big reason why many people opt for popcorn ceiling removal services.
No More Raining Popcorn
A major benefit of popcorn ceiling removal is that the popcorn will no longer be shed from your ceiling. This can be annoying but also dangerous if your popcorn ceiling was installed prior to 1980 (or in some cases after that) because of the danger of asbestos. If you have a household busy with young children who throw objects that may graze the ceiling, you’re aware of the raining popcorn struggle. Eliminate this problem by contacting your local drywall contractor to remove your popcorn ceiling.
They Make Rooms Appear Smaller
We previously noted that popcorn ceilings hold onto dust and debris and have a constant shadowy-like appearance that just won’t go away. The debris on ceilings is definitely unattractive, but did you know it can even make your room appear smaller? The light in your room also plays a part in this perception. The light is restricted by the small protrusions that cast shadows, making the room feel smaller. In contrast, a smooth texture ceiling can make a room appear larger because of its smooth, unobtrusive aesthetic.
