Drop Ceilings Birmingham AL: Replacing Popcorn Ceilings

Birmingham Ceilings & Walls • Feb 10, 2016

If your home was built between 1950 and 1980, you more than likely have popcorn ceilings. 


It's hard to believe these ceilings were once all the rage. They were designed to help reduce noise level but there are now many new alternatives that are more appealing to the eye.

A Potential Health Hazard?

If your house was built before the 1980’s, there is a chance that your ceiling could contain asbestos, a fire resistant mineral used in insulation. This can actually be dangerous for your family as it has been proven to cause cancer.


Even if you don’t think your ceilings contain asbestos, you may want to hire a professional to make sure. Replacing a popcorn ceiling could not only protect your family but will also improve the look and value of your home.

Drop Ceiling Installation

Consider a Drop Ceiling

A drop ceiling not only looks great in any room, but they are budget friendly and easy to clean. The panels can easily be removed and cleaned with a wet cloth to eliminate dust or stains. A sensible alternative to getting rid of the potential hazard of asbestos is covering the old material with a drop ceiling.


Popcorn ceilings can be hard to get rid of as the process is always quite messy. Covering the old ceiling with a drop ceiling helps alleviate having to make a mess of your home.


Furthermore, installing a drop ceiling normally only takes a few days, and in some cases, only several hours. If you're dealing with outdated ceilings and are ready for a change - why not do something about it?
