It should, but you will need a good smooth nailing surface so you probably need to get rid of the popcorn, anyway. Make sure it isn't asbestos.

Another way to cover up popcorn stucco is with stretch ceiling. This is a flexible membrane that is supported around the perimeter of the room with tracks, or profiles, that are screwed into either the walls or the ceiling edges, depending on conditions.

Stretch ceiling never bubbles, fades, discolours, peels, or sags, and is invulnerable to water damage and stains, as well as mould and mildew. If you ever decide to remove it, it's fully recyclable, and filling the screw holes is easier than removing stucco or wood, or painting to cover some colours.

We install most residential spaces in less than half a day, with no mess, dust, asbestos, or toxic spray or paint fumes.

There are a multitude of looks to choose from, as we carry over 280 colours, 5 textures, and the membrane can also be digitally printed.
