As an asbestos removal expert I only watched this to make sure it was mentioned. It's both unwise and in many states illegal to remove asbestos containing materials yourself. If you do decide to do it yourself, know that asbestos fibers can stay airborne for up to 5 days in stagnant air. Industry standards require workers to wear p100 respirator filters. And dry removal is an absolute no go. It is really in your best interest to have your demo materials tested for asbestos prior to removal whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a contractor. Low level exposure to asbestos fibers will not likely cause asbestosis, however lung cancer/mesothelioma can be contracted potentially through one exposure. (With a latency period on 20-40 years average)
Thanks for the informative post. What are your thoughts on nailing tongue and groove boards directly over the popcorn? Someone in my home did this and I am concerned that the process of nailing the boards smashed the popcorn and released toxic fibers into the home... Thanks!
I remember when my aunt had a new ranch home built in the early 70's, she had popcorn ceilings with blown glitter on it. It looks so cool, like tiny stars.
holy cow, I'd forgotten about the glitter! I remember that from other houses. Very little of it, but you would get these little "crystals" of reflected light.
When I was a child I had a terrible fever and I laid on my back staring at the popcorn celing hallucinating complicated pictures for like 8 hours. It was fun
I actually like mines tho it doesn’t look old and looks kinda cute with the color of my walls. The ceilings without them look plain and boring to me for some reason.
I recently moved into a house that had popcorn ceilings installed in all the common areas. But, my wife and I love the ceiling because whoever had it installed had glitter mixed in, so it sparkles! I feel like I'm looking at a night sky.
Uh dude... I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I worked 15 years as an asbestos building inspector. While not always containing asbestos, I observed that the glittered popcorn ceiling was more likely to contain asbestos. Probably something with the styles at different time periods. This is in reference to the ceilings that had gold or silver flecks mixed in with sprayed on surfacing and not referencing a ceiling someone later applied actual glitter to.
Scott: Our commercial building which was built in 1966 still has it's glitter mixed with the popcorn on the ceiling. You are right the glitter does look like stars when the light hits it just right.
I knew someone who spent a fortune getting rid of popcorn ceilings in his house only to find most of the houses he was interested in had popcorn ceilings. 1st world problem.
I remember having popcorn walls instead of popcorn ceilings. And everytime you bump into these walls or even scratch your skin against it, that shit would hurt like hell.
I HAD THE SAME THING. I actually have a scare from it on my nuckle because when I was little (7 years old) I was running through the hall and scrapped my hand on the wall. At the time it was winter...and I loved playing in the snow so the scab would keep getting re-injured. So it just turned into a scare LOL
I doubt it, you're probably confusing orange peel with acoustic. Orange peel is just drywall mud sprayed on to give the texture of an orange peel to hide imperfections. Acoustic ceilings actually have something in the mud sprayed. I've never seen acoustic ceiling sprayed on a wall before, and I've been and work on thousands of houses.
Its called acoustical because it is sound absorbing and stops inside echoing. It was made for commercial buildings to cut down echoes in hallways, large meeting rooms, concert halls etc. It works extremely well, cutting the echo effect in half over flat ceilings of other textures. Its used in residential homes mainly because its sprayed on and goes on faster then other then other ceiling textures
It disgusted me. Take it from a pro: Asbestos abatement is NOT for the ordinary diy-er. It is tedious & demanding work-- if you want to save your life & spare others from a horrible death. www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/

You haven’t felt pain until you’ve punched a popcorn ceiling while playing Wii Sports Edit (because everyone asked): I’m 6’3”. My brothers are 6’6” and 6’7”.

Better get rid of the popcorn ceiling ASAP because even the tiniest amounts of asbestos causes lung cancer. We're talking as little as 1.3 parts per billion (1.3 mm^3 out of a cubic meter). Even brushing it with a feather duster already releases that concentration of asbestos.
My house, built in 2001, has popcorn ceilings. I never notice the ceiling either in a positive or negative way. It's up there covered in a texture that I'm not gonna bother to change. This sounds like more major whining about minor issues that has become way too common in society today. Just my humble opinion.

I like popcorn ceilings. Visually pleasing, no health risks (don't buy a house with asbestos) and better acoustics. Easy to maintain, too. If you drill a hole for a light fixture (disco ball!) and later decide to remove it, you can cover the hole with a bit of paint. Popcorn ceiling is uneven so any imperfections will be easy to hide. Smooth ceiling is THE worst option you can choose for a family home. There's a massive echo because sound waves will bounce off the ceiling, the walls and the floor (assuming you've got hard floors). When you let out a fart, it sounds like a laser shot. *pew-pew-pew*
nothing unites people like a common enemy; just look at the Nazis, Imperial Japan, or Justin Trudeau. People who would never talk to one another or may even normally be enemies will unite against someone they hate more then they hate each other.
I'll be honest, I wouldn't use popcorn ceiling in a new house, but for being in my current house... I honestly couldn't care less... "Eyesore" Really? Do you just stare at the ceiling? Even though I'm the one to point out interior design flaws in houses, this doesn't bug me at all :P
Are you a homeowner? Have you ever had lung issues due to asbestos? Didn’t think so. It’s worth the small amount of money to get it professionally removed, plus it increases your homes value upon a sale. Also, you might have literal holes that you had no idea about, that could lead to leaks if the popcorn stays up.
Guaranteed that eventually some "designer" somewhere will decide one day that popcorn ceilings are retro-chic and everybody will be clamoring to be "on trend" and want them, again. In the meantime, the search for someone who can produce a perfectly smooth drywall finish goes on. And, as someone who lives with 100 year old plaster walls, I can say that drwall sucks. It's a flat, antiseptic, almost clinical look and feel with zero charm. Plaster, as it ages, developes texture and inconsistencies that give the room personality. Those shadow lines and textures create depth with light. They turn a box into a room. Drywall on the other hand...
as a young child i wasn't sure if i was super sleepy or what but i thought there was something in the ceiling with all the little bumps and thought what could have made all those little bumps
I think popcorn ceilings are great. In fact, my house doesn't have one and I'm installing it. I hate the antiseptic hospital room look that is popular right now.
Please tell me this is a joke. Why not install moldings in plaster instead? Or ever temporary starched-on fabric as wall paper? Why add something so ugly and outdated and lazy?
@@rookmaster7502 Given that they were never popular based on looks and only on laziness and cheapness, I doubt it. They were never considered trendy or beautiful, just practical and inexpensive. Builder-grade bottom of the barrel sort of thing.
@@venus_envy Your message is Lazy, outdated and ugly. These were popular due to their looks. You forget about the Spanish Revival look that was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. I love that style.
@@kraken138 You are correct, popcorn ceilings were quite fashionable in the 60's and 70's. I remember people bragging about getting them, as well as home decor magazine articles of that period praising them as a way to spice up one's home.
@@officialspock We have the right to. We live in a first world country. Sorry we don't complain about our everyday famine. Oh wait we don't have famine
I love popcorn ceilings. Fantastic acoustically, provides a little insulation, and easy to repair. People don't like it because it's out of fashion. Someday it will be popular again.
After the ban, popcorn ceiling materials were created using a paper-based or Styrofoam product to create the texture, rather than asbestos. Textured ceilings remain common in residential construction in the United States. They still sell it and people still use it
I rent out the first level of my town house while I live on the upper floors. Though I totally renovated the first floor, I kept the popcorn ceiling on that level. What's absolutely fantastic if you are renting to someone is that the noise abatement that popcorn ceilings provide is extraordinary. I can't believe I have a tenant in my lower level because the ceiling absorbs sound so thoroughly. Turns out, not all popcorn ceilings are bad.
@@Pinhead_larry265 It depends on your situation, Pinhead. My tenant is one older lady, not three persons, so we have two entirely different situations.
Assuming your ceiling doesn't contain asbestos, this video is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Are people really looking at new homes and saying, "ugh. So gross. Why'd they use a bumpy ceiling? I definitely don't want to scatter my upstairs neighbor's noise."
The worst part is, watching this 2 years later, the part about buying a new home is in pretty bad taste. With the majority of homes being unaffordable and/or the mass purchase of homes by corporations just to turn into rentals.
So if they're not made with asbestos any longer, what's the problem? Honestly, people are so desperate to get rid of "popcorn ceilings", like they're the worst thing possible. How ridiculous. Those smooth ceilings look unfinished, like the place is still under construction.
@@NuttyCuts_ Not all popcorn ceilings are made out of asbestos. If your house was made after 1974 then you're safe. Even if it is made out of asbestos it's not dangerous unless you agitate it by trying to remove it or your roof starts crumbling. That's pretty specific and an uncommon occurrence so it's still not a good point.
@@williamcaputo7931 where are you getting this info that's it's uncommon? My city had a huge problem with asbestos cases, houses needed to be cleaned up. Most houses in general were built long before the 70's, before even the 60's. Most houses with these ceilings do have asbestos, and normal wear of the house can cause problems. You don't need to do anything to agitate it, one of these decade it will break down on its own if not replaced. Everything is like that in a house. I don't understand the downplaying of it, then again people do it with covid so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Save you 6 minutes, popcorn ceilings that are 40 years or older might have asbestos in it. Otherwise it's just a cosmetic thing and you can ignore the "danger" click bait thumbnail.
Better get rid of the popcorn ceiling ASAP because even the tiniest amounts of asbestos causes lung cancer. We're talking as little as 1.3 parts per billion (1.3 mm^3 out of a cubic meter). Even brushing it with a feather duster already releases that concentration of asbestos.
Personally I like my slightly popcorned ceiling. I like the ceiling having a little texture way more than flat. Flat looks almost unnatural (or at least boring) to me and if I'm just disassociating and staring at my ceiling, there's something to stare at. Pretty sure when I paint my room I'mma just paint over the popcorn.
I sleep in a bunk bed and have hit myself many times on the popcorn ceiling in my room and get scratches but rarely bleed, still hurts tho. I would understand this woman’s grudge toward popcorn ceilings tho lol :”)
First of all they are misleading. When your have a fever of 105, you get crazy wierd. That's when your parents walk in seeing you dig a fork Into the wall
Honestly, I spend *very* little time looking at my ceiling. Also, it seems that a lot of people in the comments have popcorn ceilings and never noticed. If you never noticed, then clearly it's not a big problem (unless you have asbestos).
Don't worry about what one person on the internet thinks, he opinion isn't law and doesn't reflect the millions of people who enjoy the look and practicality of a popcorn ceiling and for the record, most installations were asbestos free , she is using scare tactics to get views
When I was younger i thought that when they painted the ceiling the paint just drooped down and dried like that💀

Are you a homeowner? Have you ever had lung issues due to asbestos? Didn’t think so. It’s worth the small amount of money to get it professionally removed, plus it increases your homes value upon a sale. Also, you might have literal holes that you had no idea about, that could lead to leaks if the popcorn stays up.

Love the profile dude
my grandma lives in newark and to save money all the walls in the apartments are popcorn and the ceilings but they also call it cake walls.
Guaranteed that eventually some "designer" somewhere will decide one day that popcorn ceilings are retro-chic and everybody will be clamoring to be "on trend" and want them, again. In the meantime, the search for someone who can produce a perfectly smooth drywall finish goes on. And, as someone who lives with 100 year old plaster walls, I can say that drwall sucks. It's a flat, antiseptic, almost clinical look and feel with zero charm. Plaster, as it ages, developes texture and inconsistencies that give the room personality. Those shadow lines and textures create depth with light. They turn a box into a room. Drywall on the other hand...
popcorn ceilings will be the next crocs

I think popcorn ceilings are great. In fact, my house doesn't have one and I'm installing it. I hate the antiseptic hospital room look that is popular right now.
I suspect popcorn ceilings will eventually become popular again. Without the asbestos, of course.
Please tell me this is a joke. Why not install moldings in plaster instead? Or ever temporary starched-on fabric as wall paper? Why add something so ugly and outdated and lazy?
@@rookmaster7502 Given that they were never popular based on looks and only on laziness and cheapness, I doubt it. They were never considered trendy or beautiful, just practical and inexpensive. Builder-grade bottom of the barrel sort of thing.
@@venus_envy Your message is Lazy, outdated and ugly. These were popular due to their looks. You forget about the Spanish Revival look that was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. I love that style.

After the ban, popcorn ceiling materials were created using a paper-based or Styrofoam product to create the texture, rather than asbestos. Textured ceilings remain common in residential construction in the United States.
They still sell it and people still use it

I rent out the first level of my town house while I live on the upper floors. Though I totally renovated the first floor, I kept the popcorn ceiling on that level. What's absolutely fantastic if you are renting to someone is that the noise abatement that popcorn ceilings provide is extraordinary. I can't believe I have a tenant in my lower level because the ceiling absorbs sound so thoroughly. Turns out, not all popcorn ceilings are bad.

So if they're not made with asbestos any longer, what's the problem? Honestly, people are so desperate to get rid of "popcorn ceilings", like they're the worst thing possible. How ridiculous. Those smooth ceilings look unfinished, like the place is still under construction.

Science insider: "it's ugly"
I was expecting *any* kind of argument about why they’re actually bad or ugly and the only convincing argument seemed to be “less dusty”?
@@Phocas666 that’s the only convincing argument? What about asbestos inhalation?
@@NuttyCuts_ Not all popcorn ceilings are made out of asbestos. If your house was made after 1974 then you're safe. Even if it is made out of asbestos it's not dangerous unless you agitate it by trying to remove it or your roof starts crumbling. That's pretty specific and an uncommon occurrence so it's still not a good point.
@@williamcaputo7931 where are you getting this info that's it's uncommon? My city had a huge problem with asbestos cases, houses needed to be cleaned up.
Most houses in general were built long before the 70's, before even the 60's. Most houses with these ceilings do have asbestos, and normal wear of the house can cause problems. You don't need to do anything to agitate it, one of these decade it will break down on its own if not replaced.
Everything is like that in a house. I don't understand the downplaying of it, then again people do it with covid so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
@@Ahria256 exactly
Save you 6 minutes, popcorn ceilings that are 40 years or older might have asbestos in it. Otherwise it's just a cosmetic thing and you can ignore the "danger" click bait thumbnail.
Better get rid of the popcorn ceiling ASAP because even the tiniest amounts of asbestos causes lung cancer. We're talking as little as 1.3 parts per billion (1.3 mm^3 out of a cubic meter). Even brushing it with a feather duster already releases that concentration of asbestos.
@@00crashtest welp good luck to all the poor souls who are going to die just because they wanted to remove popcorn ceilings
This video is hardly clickbait.
Thanks
00crashtest true, but what are the chances of that extremely tiny amount being inhaled?
Personally I like my slightly popcorned ceiling. I like the ceiling having a little texture way more than flat. Flat looks almost unnatural (or at least boring) to me and if I'm just disassociating and staring at my ceiling, there's something to stare at. Pretty sure when I paint my room I'mma just paint over the popcorn.

I didn’t know the public hated the look of popcorn ceiling so much. I didn’t think much of them before and I still don’t think it looks bad either.
Don't worry about what one person on the internet thinks, he opinion isn't law and doesn't reflect the millions of people who enjoy the look and practicality of a popcorn ceiling and for the record, most installations were asbestos free , she is using scare tactics to get views
