Popcorn ceilings were once a popular choice for ceiling textures in homes. There are benefits of popcorn texture, such as it hides flaws in the ceiling, but this style has become outdated and people are turning to alternative ceiling textures. Here are three options of alternative ceiling textures to popcorn ceiling texture: Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Denver
Smooth Texture
Smooth texture ceiling is one option for replacing popcorn ceilings. It is polished and up to date with interior designs and trends. Because of the sleek texture, sounds are more reflective in a room with a smooth texture ceiling and may bounce around some. However, the smooth texture is very easy to clean since there are no crevices for dust and grim to get stuck in. When choosing a ceiling texture, one thing to consider is installation time. Smooth texture ceiling is more time consuming than knockdown and orange peel, however, there is a reason for this. The drywall contractor will want to ensure the ceiling is as flawless as possible, since there is little to hide the flaws.
Knockdown Texture
Knockdown is one of the most popular textures for a ceiling. This is a great affordable alternative to popcorn ceiling. Knockdown texture is a coarse texture to use for a ceiling but more subtle than popcorn ceiling. Both will hide flaws in the ceiling, however, knockdown texture avoids the pesky pieces that fall down from popcorn ceilings. In contrast to smooth texture ceilings, sound does not bounce off knockdown texture as much so it can help decrease noise some.
Orange Peel Texture
Another choice for an alternative ceiling texture is orange peel texture ceiling. This can easily be confused with knockdown texture but is different. Orange peel has similar benefits to knockdown but the texture looks a little different. Both styles are more subtle ceiling textures than popcorn texture, but still hide flaws in the drywall. Orange peel is a bumpy ceiling texture that resembles the appearance of an orange peel, hence the name. This style does not have the rough ridges that knockdown texture has, so it is easier to clean but not as easy as the smooth texture ceilings.
