I need to re-do my kitchen ceiling


Question Posted Saturday June 26 2004, 4:26 pm

I have a horrible kitchen ceiling! It is made of styrofoam - I have a friend that is tearing down out buildings on their farm and said I can have the corragated tin. I am thinking about nailing the tin to my ceiling! Will that work and will it create any sort of heat/cold problem (there is a second floor)? Thank you!

I have never heard of styrofoam or tin for a kitchen ceiling either. Maybe you mean "pop-corn" ceiling, instead of styrofoam.

Tin is a metal, and is fairly heavy. You will have to have some sort of heavy duty fasteners for it, like very long, large molly bolts, and have something sturdy like wood beams to fasten it too. I think it sounds like more work than is practical, and if it doesn't work, just think of all the metal falling down.

I would also think it would trap heat from cooking and keep you kitchen hotter longer. That may be ok in the winter, but not the summer.

Over-all, I don't think it sounds like a very practical idea.
