  • geni.us/antiq50... - Repair / Cover your popcorn ceiling in a few hours with decorative ceiling Tiles. They're light, sound absorbing and insulating. Can be painted and fire rated glue up tiles. No messy popcorn removal, avoid scraping and freshen up your house in hours on a budget. Don't cover ceilings with asbestos, if you're not sure, call a professional to diagnose your situation. I recommend painting this with fire rated paint as well by spraying it when glued. For washrooms use the PVC celluse tiles as they are better for moisture areas.

    I put similar ceiling tiles in my bedroom to cover the yellowed probably-asbestos popcorn, however I found that the tiles weren't quite square so I had a gap on pretty much every tile that had to be caulked. It's awkward to work overhead for long periods of time, so I'd recommend a tall enough ladder that you can reach the ceiling comfortably. It also goes much faster if you can have someone apply the glue and hand you the tiles - less up & down the ladder.

      Three questions: You showed a can of Behr paint, but didn’t mention when the tiles were painted. Was the painting done prior to installing the tiles? 2.) Why do you recommend painting the tiles? 3.) If I paint the tiles, would I still need to caulk the seams, as the paint would perhaps fill in the lines?

    Hey, at 15:41, to mark the hole before you cut it, I would use my wife's old red lipstick, and color the hole's edge in the ceiling and then press the tile in place. Then remove the tile and on the back will be the red circle to cut out. I did that when marking where to drill for a deadbolt in the door jamb...just color the deadbolt, then crank it against the jamb to leave a mark, then paddle drill the hole out...easy peezy.

    The comments are amusing thus far. You can tell not to many people are DIY ers or they would already know that #1 this is a perfectly legitimate fix #2 no the tiles don't fall down...the adhesive is way heavier than the tile #3 I am guessing that everyone with fire concerns also has a mattress and furniture free home as those will kill you long before your ceiling comes down. I know all of this because I installed this by myself in my last home with bronze colored tiles. Everyone actually thought it was real even though the ceilings were not that high. Changes to this installation - I would just buy the tile in the color I wanted and would not want to paint them after. And thus would spray paint all my seams before laying the tile to the matching finished color of ceiling to eliminate touch-ups.

    Actually I removed my popcorn ceiling over the stairway and replaced it with venetian plaster. removing the popcorn wasnt hard, but it was messy. On the other hand, the plastering was labor intensive, but seeing the light interplay with the polished and waxed ceiling is rewarding. I will get this material because I can paint it to resemble metallic tin, wood, marble, or broken color finish - even stencils. (I'm an accomplished decorative painter.).

      Next time try mixing vinegar and water in a pesticide sprayer...take the 10 minutes to protect the walls / floor with plastic...spray the popcorn down and it will scrape off SO EASILY. The popcorn will reactive like the day it was sprayed on...zero dust. My wife and I removed 2300 sq ft and cleaned up the entire mess in under 3 hours at our home. I spent a few hours skim coating imperfections, sanding....then we painted them twice. I'm a painting contractor, always nice to test something out on your own home first. I've completed approx 10 popcorn removal jobs since then. Everyone is amazed at how easy I get the popcorn off.

    I like the idea of tiling over a popcorn ceiling, but NOT with Styrofoam! Even if it's supposed to be flame-retardant, it's like having a layer of napalm hanging over you. In a fire, you'll have molten plastic dripping on your head as you try to escape, and if the room flashes over, even "fireproofed" plastic will burn like gasoline. It's better to use the mineral wool tiles that are fireproof and reasonably priced.

    It looks good, but I'm not so sure how much value is added once people catch on that the ceiling tile and crown is made of styro. I would adjust my offer accordingly at best and might even dismiss making an offer because I know something is being covered up and of the uncertainty of knowing what happens if or when there's a roof or water leak somewhere. And the uncertainty of what it will look like over time. I know if cheap caulk is used it will look bad in no time and need to be recaulked or painted.

After using it a bunch you would have to pry it out of your dead cold hands to take it away. Good idea--this is the kind of texturing a ceiling really needs. Make sure your caulk is paintable.

    I have never done ceiling tiles before, but I have done many floors. The problem when you stick new flooring over old flooring when the old floor starts to loosen or come up, then the new floor follows suit. I would imagine it would be the same as just going over the popcorn. I know it flakes off over the years, especially if you have a leak so I would think that would or could make the tiles come down also. Unless of course, you are doing this just for a quick flip. If that is a million-dollar home, I would just take the time to remove the popcorn and then put up the tiles if you want that look. Just my opinion.

    Popcorn ceilings eventually flake off because 98% of them were put up without the surface being primed first. Even with your ceiling tiles, this will still happen. The glue is bonding to the popcorn ceiling and not the drywall. These panels will eventually start sagging and possibly fall off due to the extra weight you've added to the popcorn above each tile.

    Did they coat the styrofoam so it can be painted? I'm a painter and have never painted styrofoam. It's very porous stuff. I've painted a lot of popcorn ceilings and it is not exactly a firm surface. Sometimes just touching it can bring down chunks of it. Those tiles are glued to an unstable surface.

    • @InvestorTheory
      @InvestorTheory  5 лет назад +1

      hey Ted, glad you asked as i ran into the same issue once or twice. The PVC or these styrofoam tiles have about 0.125" bevel to account for the popcorn, the edges is really what sticks to the popcorn ceilign. I suggest pressing and removing the larger popcorn balls to have a somewhat flat surface for the tile to adhere to, but there is some give in the foam as you apply it, so all in all goes on flat over the popcorn surfaces. Also they recommend you caulk to the joints to loose any imprefections. Painting is RECOMMENDED but i just didn't do it on the video as it would take a while to caulk and paint everything. Double the time. Because the tiles are light, there is no chance of them falling or you seeing the popcorn "bumps" over the styrofoam.

Used that Homex spray can a few areas not blending to good. May use hopper doing once over the worst portion to blend better then repaint. But save from needing tile whole ceiling what bout just a portion like 6-8’’x15’ over breakfast bar area. Thought of 4”x8”faux beam thru center of kitchen butting to a T over BB having 2 recesses lights in it with couple pediments hanging over BB. Integrating 2’x2’ tiles around pad the T portion could potentially look alright tho some of outside edges of tiles not bordering wall/ Beam be left exposed toward middle of dining room.
