Under several circumstances, such as movie theatres, a stucco ceiling is an excellent way to help dampen sound, but not as much in recent times for complete ceiling projects.
Stucco ceilings and their variants, also known as textured ceilings, were one of those must-have items that started sometime in the 1960’s and continued well throughout the eighties.
Stucco ceiling is typically created by spraying a mix of plaster onto the ceiling or, in the case of texture, hand-plastered and dimpled for some effect with a special tool or sponge.
However, with age, stucco ceiling and its variants being to fade and yellow, particularly, with smokes in the room. Painting over stucco can also be a challenge and there is often dust and other debris such as spiders and cobwebs, that get caught up there. Another downside to stucco is that if there is ever a need to do any repairs, it becomes next to impossible to match up the finish.
