Talk:Popcorn ceiling

Untitled

new. accidently added name to subject, but it was deleted. This type of ceiling was popular possibly in 1950s as well in some places, but I dont remember seeing it then. Main problem, was that the tips of the popcorn edges turned black or brown from dust, soot, cigarette smoke etc, and it looked bad when old. --WonderWheeler 09:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Undid MCNorrie's vandalism. 'Sawdust-dung mixture' indeed. Mekei 04:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It couldn't possibly be any worse if it WAS... I think the very invention and modern use of the popcorn ceiling is more 'vandalism' than anything that could ever be done with a Wikipedia entry. 68.166.19.237 12:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hard to repaint? Hardly with todays products available in hardware stores. Karnak99 (talk) 06:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes it's hard to paint with a standard roller. It needs to be so sprayed on, and that's ver messy. Also, it flakes off when it's painted, often in large clumps, which danages the ceiling, and it difficult to repair. WackyMaybe (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Why doesn't anyone seem to know the difference between a "popcorn" ceiling and a stucco ceiling????

Hi 173.76.187.169 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), thanks for pointing this out. It seems to me that a popcorn ceiling, stucco ceiling, and stipple ceiling are all different examples of textured ceilings. There doesn't seem to be an article on textured ceilings in general on Wikipedia (although there is a related page: Artex), so a possible solution is to move this article to "Textured ceiling" and then discuss all three explicitly, ideally with a picture of each for comparison. I can't find pictures of a stucco ceiling or stipple ceiling on the Wikimedia commons or CCSearch, though. Also, just an FYI, you can sign your posts by putting ~~~~ at the end.
