Thank you so much for your video it has inspired me a rookie in DIY, currently trying to renovate my home on my own after so many failed quotes from handymen....they seem to have so much works and won't bother taking any new ones, so I am doing all myself...and your video is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you 👍👍👍

Wow! Beautiful! Thank you love how you explained and show exactly what you were saying!!! Thank you I will Finally be able to get rid of my ugly ceiling!! Yippee😁😄
I have popcorn ceilings throughout my house and was wondering how I could get rid of this outdated look. Perfect solution. A new project for me to work on.
I learned SO much in the short 6 minutes 30 seconds of this video. Thank you so much kind sir. I will now hunt down the 17 people that dared dislike this man's video and make them pay >:[
Thank you both SO MUCH for this how-to video. Do you remember the style/model of the tiles in the video that you used. I would like to order those. Again, thank you for taking the time to help all of us! God Bless.
It will work, you can cut and butt up against the crown molding. The best thing will be to test it before you install is that you can decide which look you like better.
would be interesting to see how it applies to a true popcorn ceiling! That ceiling ceased being an acoustic finish long ago. One other thing I noticed, you were placing the dollop of adhesive in the floral recesses! Instead, they should be applied on the high spots of the tiles, not the low spots!
It's such a nice ceiling but I'm wondering... would it not make sense to start by centering the first ceiling tile where the light fixture is and cut the hole in the center of that tile so it is in the middle? And then work out from there. ?? That way the chandelier is in the center of a tile vs some other section.
Yes! That would make sense most of the time if the fixture is in the center of the ceiling. I believe the reason this was not done because the light was off-center.
Hello again. So I purchased the glue up tiles along with the tile glue called Ceilume. However, no matter what I did, they did not stick. Have you ever heard of this product? It wasn't even sticky. What other option(s) might I have to cover this popcorn ceiling? Thank you so much for any advice.
Hello Christine, I have heard of Ceilume but never tried it. Our glue is called instant grab and you can see it here: www.decorativeceilingtiles.net/instant-grab-ceiling-tile-wall-panel-and-crown-molding-water-based-adhesive-310/
@@DecorativeCeilingTilesInc I am using the Washington Square in the cream color. I am also wondering if it will be a problem installing around the two vents in the ceiling?
I am installing the Washington square tile tomorrow. I have two ceiling vents. I am concerned because of the design of the tile the vents will look strange because they will sit below the tile?
You can move the vents to the center of the tile for best results but if you are not willing to move them, they will basically fall where they fall. This is not a problem, you do however want to paint the covers to match the tile.

Does it matter if my ceiling is not “painted” over popcorn ceiling? Mine is just chalky looking (no shine finish). I am worried the ceiling tile glue and tiles will be too heavy and crumble down? I do not want that to happen and be exposed to the disturbed asbestos.
No need to have painted ceiling being it's covering up the ceiling, though I wouldn't use any very strong adhesive in the event you ever want to remove them in the future, I was thinking of using this technic being if the popcorn ceiling comes back testing positive having asbestos in it, I am not want to mess with any asbestos rather just go over it or leave alone altogether.
When you press on the popcorn, is it strong or turning to dust and falling off? If it is strong it is good to go to be covered. You don't have to use a lot of glue to put these up.
Lol at the end I literally said "Damn that looks good!" I HATE my apartment's popcorn ceilings. I may use a plain flat non decorative tile and use nails to stick them up there, then cover the nails with putty or paint or something to hid them. Then I can take take down when I leave!
Absolutely no problem, the main issue is the stability of the surface and that it is not dusty or dirty.. Just so that the glue can stick to a strong substrate. Otherwise, heavy texture is not really a problem.

Great video! I will be doing the same project to my new house sooner than later. Question though: Is it standard practice to mount the light fixture base on top of the new ceiling tiles? Or could I leave the fixture in place and cut the tiles to match the outer diameter of the fixture, or in my case a ceiling fan. I feel like you would achieve a more uniform fit around it that way instead of seeing the gaps from the profiles of the ceiling tiles.
Thanks for the compliment! You can use whichever method will work best for your situation. Keep in mind that decorative ceiling tiles come in different depths and designs.
The idea of popcorn ceilings is to stop the echo or noise throughout the home. Every idiot buying a home OMG F%#KING POPCORN CEILINGS, I love ours because it works and sane people don’t worry about it.
I suppose one way to cover up an out-of-date decorating choice is to make a new decorating choice, but I doubt that PVC ceiling tiles and styrofoam moulding are going to date well. Scraping the old texture and skim coating seems like not only a less expensive choice, but one that will look good no matter what styles come and go.
Hello Randall, only going by the experience of installing these. Over the last 12 years and I have not noticed any change to the appearance of PVC tiles installed along with Styrofoam Crown Molding.
I think it would look better with the mouldings g applied first around the ceiling, then the tiles cut to be equally spaced with regard to their dimensions. The light fitting should be repositioned to the middle of the room and the vent to the perimeter. Equally good would be a flat rectangular tile that filled in the gap between Scotia and pattern tile, that way it would look more balanced. Perhaps the company should make them. Are they paintable?

Nothing outdated about them. Give them a Fresh coat of paint and feel proud. You don't want to throw styrofoam up on your ceiling

Beautiful! What is ceiling height? Mine are low 8 foot and afraid it might make room look smaller.
Best type & brand of paint to change the color of these tiles-- say mine are Antique Copper but I want them to be Antiqued White?
Beautiful job, are those tiles fire. Proof. I thought those tilrs were banned.🤔🤔🤔
Amazing teacher! Thank you!
Whoa Ron Hazelton is getting old! That means I am getting old too! 😢
Super presentation 👏👏
great video hope all is well
what great idea and job thank you for making my project easier..
So helpful and clear. Thank you
I think the crown should go first then the ceiling tiles so you dont have all of those gaps
Great! Have you ever painted the trim prior to installing and just do any touchups afterward to avoid having to paint from a ladder so much.
Yes, I have personally done that before and we also sell pre-painted molding. www.decorativeceilingtiles.net/crown-molding/

Hello Christine, the tiles used are these: www.decorativeceilingtiles.net/dct-04-faux-tin-ceiling-tile-glue-up-24x24/#Color=Antique+Taupe
Would these panels work on a popcorn ceiling that has had a repair from a leak and was not patched very well, uneven ?
look nice ...from far, what do you do with those huge gaps between trim and tile?
How many tiles did that room take?
Great video! Will this work with pre-existing wooden crown molding or would it have to be removed?
It will work, you can cut and butt up against the crown molding. The best thing will be to test it before you install is that you can decide which look you like better.
I love the tiles. Where did you purchase?
Gorgeous!
Can I use these toles on a textured wall? I don't have a popcorn ceiling. It is just slightly textured.
