Covering a Popcorn Ceiling in Waterloo, ON With RM24 Styrofoam Ceiling Tiles

This Waterloo, Ontario home had a popcorn ceiling over the dining area, right where the room opens into the kitchen. Instead of scraping it off, our RM24 polystyrene ceiling tiles were glued straight over the texture. RM24 has a classic raised square pattern, and once the white tiles went up, the stucco was gone from view and the black and brass chandelier had a clean, finished ceiling around it.

A laser line marked the layout, so every row stayed square to the room, and the tiles were pressed into place one at a time against the textured surface. You can see a tile going up next to the old popcorn finish in the photos below, plus a short video of the job. Want more ways to skip the scraping?
