Ceiling materials are similar to wall materials. They can be plaster were drywall, wood, hardwood, plywood, fiber cement, or concrete. Acoustic tile ceilings are also common. These tiles can be fiberboard or plastic faced fiberglass. These can be supported on wood strapping or suspended T-bars.
Metal ceilings are rare that may be found, usually in kitchens of old homes. An embossed pattern in the metal is often used to create the look of decorative plaster.
As we discussed in an earlier post, with walls, it's not unusual to find that drywall has been applied over plaster. Acoustic tile ceilings are also often applied below old plaster.
Textured ceilings are very common in some areas because they are quick and inexpensive to install and are much more forgiving of imperfections in drywall. Textured finishes should not be used in kitchens or bathrooms because the large surface areas tend to collect dirt and grease and are hard to clean.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
