OUr new house has some plaster ceiling (it's an old house) and I haven't done much reading myself on this but I'm starting here. We've got some cracks int he surface plaster, I was wondering if anyone had some experience with having their ceilings refinished - plaster or otherwise. I have heard of some people putting wall board up instead of newplaster but I have not seen in. The newer addition to the house has this kind of ceiling.
The ceilings do need refinishing, it isn't something I can let go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

IMHO, don't use drywall. It sucks to hang on a ceiling and then it probably won't have the look you're after. Plus any expansion or contraction of the surface above will just lead to more cracks. If 'twer up to me, I'd either hire a plaster specialist or install a tin (or tin look) ceiling for more architectural interest. Just be sure to drill a decent sized hole at the ends of the cracks to eliminate their continuation.
Oh, now look what I've done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've been spending way too much time hanging out with the architects in the office. I guess the only solution is to stick my toung on some of these wires under the desk to see which ones are live. |
