Inexpensive Way To Cover Popcorn Ceiling

For the dormer bedroom redesign we decided that the easiest way to cover a popcorn ceiling would be with planks.

Inexpensive way to cover popcorn ceiling.

For the homeowner textured ceilings come with many drawbacks. Which means they are super easy to install. I had them cut in 4 lengths rather than 8. That s why covering up a popcorn ceiling may be the best option.

Faux tin ceiling tiles are one of my favorite ways to cover up popcorn ceilings. And with the planks that we used it was relatively cheap since they cost around 1 per square foot. Figured i would still have to paint but it alleviated the need for primer. No mess no scraping.

Also the textured material in many areas contains asbestos making removal of the texture or the ceiling problematic and costly. I went to home depot to get my hardboard and found they had it in white. Just glue up we used cheap caulk for the adhesive these ultra lite tiles made of recycled styrofoam are easy to cut and can be painted it would have cost around 1200 to have the old ceiling scraped down and another 1200 to have it refinished and painted. Compare wood and vinyl options and choose the one that best suits your budget and diy aspirations.

One of our favorite ideas for this material is covering popcorn ceiling with beadboard. They come with the patterns already embossed on them and are super light. They are cobweb magnets and are hard to clean and difficult to paint and they reduce the ambient natural light in a room. I spent around 600 total.

Beadboard panels are an efficient economical way to get that popular tongue and groove porchy look to cover up an unattractive ceiling. All you have to do is paint them any color you want and glue them up there. Thanks for sharing this.
