Popcorn ceilings are known for their textured look. These types of ceilings are installed in bedrooms, entrance hallways, and in home basements. Popcorn ceilings which are also known as acoustic ceilings are common in most homes because they absorb sound better than any other type of ceiling.
One of the reasons it absorbs sound is because it has an increased surface area due to the raised bumps that help to muffle noise. If you want to insulate a playroom where a lot of noise happens, then popcorn ceilings can do the trick.
Excessive Noise
Many people who live in apartments, townhouses, and condominiums tend to complain about the noise that originates from dwelling units. In most cases, noise complaints arise from the use of high vaulted ceilings and hard floor surfaces in residential properties. When sounds generated in a room go through sound absorbing materials like popcorn ceilings, their strength reduces. If you want to reduce the noise levels in a room significantly, install a popcorn ceiling and also use modern furnishings that have plushy fabrics and stuffing.
Sadly, not many people identify the need to reduce the noise until they have already settled into a house. Luckily, professionals can help in changing the interior design of your home to become mouse acoustic. You can add an acoustic ceiling in rooms that have lots of noise, and also add some creative wall texture to allow for more absorption of noise levels.
Walls
Since popcorn ceilings cannot absorb a lot of noise, you can insulate your room further by adding insulating materials like gypsum drywall to reflect more sound waves. A combination of the popcorn ceilings and the change of wall texture will improve the acoustic absorption of a room.
Ceilings
The ceiling area is usually meant for acoustic application because that is its primary purpose. Before you apply the popcorn ceiling, it is essential to investigate its acoustical performance. You should also know that the reduction of excessive noise depends on the space and the amount of absorption required. Since the thickness of the absorbing material determines the acoustic absorption, it is crucial to decide on the right thickness of the popcorn ceiling which can resolve the problem. You can work with a professional to come up with the best solution.
