For each redecoration scheme there will always be secondary concerns you need to deal with before you lift a finger.

Painting A Tin Ceiling Aluminum ceilings are painted before they get pressed to the ceiling, and painting them is easy. In truly harsh wear and tear areas it can be a good idea to consider powder coating.

Keep in mind that the ceiling will always be quite a few feet over your head so exceedingly fine details may not be seen from that distance. ---------- © Article provided by Quickbeam, LLC.
