Different Types Of Ceiling Finishes For Your Home
Popcorn Ceiling
In many pre-construction homes, builders tend to add popcorn all around the house, as these types of ceilings are cost and time efficient.

Asbestos is a mineral, and during the 1980s and before, this mineral was added along with popcorn ceilings.
