Tin ceilings are a great decorative feature that can add a lot of character to a room. But before the ceiling can be installed in the room, you need to take some steps to prepare the ceiling first. These are some of the things to do to prepare your ceiling to help speed up the installation process.
One of the things to do to prepare for the tin ceiling installation is to ensure that your lighting scheme for that room is correct. It is important to make any changes to your lighting system before the installation. This is because holes will need to be cut to install a new lighting plan. You don’t want to make these cuts in the tin ceiling after installation because of potential problems with the final look of the ceiling. It can also take extra time to ensure that the tin ceiling is not damaged during the installation process.
Another thing to do is to make sure the ceiling is smooth. If there are popcorn ceilings in the room, this element has to be removed before installation so that the tin ceiling has a flat surface to adhere to. If you have water damage, you need to make certain that it is repaired properly and the source of the leak has been addressed. It is not necessary to repaint the ceiling to cover the damage as long as the drywall is strong enough to support the ceiling.
You should also prepare for the tin ceiling installation by removing everything detachable from the ceiling such as hooks or anything that is not going to be attached to the ceiling after the installation. Make certain to patch all the holes from the removal of the objects and make sure the patches are sanded down to a smooth finish.
