In the 1950s, popcorn ceilings (textured or acoustic) became very popular. It can look similar to popcorn or cottage cheese but also look refined and almost like sand. Built-in textured ceilings were trendy during the golden age of textured ceilings. They were affordable and could conceal imperfections easily. Popcorn ceilings improve the room’s acoustics by reducing ambient sounds and echoes. Acoustic ceilings are becoming less popular in modern homes. Modern homeowners and buyers don’t find them attractive as they give the house an old-fashioned appearance. While popcorn and textured ceilings are no longer famous, they are still some benefits to using them. They conceal imperfections in the ceiling. These imperfections include dirt seams and tape used to cover the plasterboard. A smooth ceiling finish or one that is not textured will look great, but it can be challenging to finish neatly as each ripple or dent may be visible. Popcorn ceilings conceal the damage, cracks, leaks, and poor artistry. These ceilings are easy to install and low-cost. These ceilings are also noise-dampening. This ceiling is ideal for apartments and multi-story homes that want to reduce the noise from higher levels. Let’s begin with the eight-foot sheet. While most drywall contractors apply drywall horizontally, I’ve seen contractors use metal stud framing to install 10-foot sheets. These are the reasons to install the 10-foot sheets vertically or up-and-down drywall in this setting. These walls do not require structural strength; they are just partitions that divide rooms. Usually, the drywall can be finished to a height of 9 feet. This is the first time I’ve seen drywall run vertically. A drywall installation can increase the value of a wooden-framed home in Boca Del Mar. According to Boca Raton Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Drywall Repair Group, eight-foot sheets horizontally of drywall should be installed. Horizontal drywall application refers to the horizontal installation of drywall. This involves putting the four-foot side of drywall up and down and the eight-foot side of drywall side by side. Finishing the drywall will make 4-foot seams vertical or up more noticeable than a seam running the length of the wall. Let me provide a quick eye-level education if you haven’t already read my article on eye-level window settings. A person of 5’8″ will notice things more easily between 4’6′ and 6’6′ above the ground. There is a good chance that the eyes will pick up any finishing defects in the drywall if the drywall is run vertically. The horizontal running of the drywall will only make it a little more challenging to reach the lower eye level at 4 feet six. Installing drywall has another advantage. Your eyes can easily pick up four-foot lines running from floor to ceiling. In older homes, you will notice lines in the ceilings around every 24 inches. This is due to the plaster ceilings or drywall ceilings starting to sag between the ceiling joists. Once the drywall has dried, it isn’t easy to repair these lines. You have no option but to eliminate the ceiling, re-drywall it, and finish it. Staggered drywall that is run vertically will crack more easily than drywall that is run horizontally. The drywall section that is four feet long is more durable than the eight-foot section. Staggering your drywall every four feet will increase its strength. Do not damage the drywall around door openings. Door openings crack easily at the corners and move towards the ceiling. Allow the drywall to run over the doorway. Then, cut the entrance so that the rough opening is left for wallboard installation. We offer the above services at the following locations within Boca Raton:
