Patching a popcorn ceiling involves repairing damaged areas of a popcorn ceiling texture, which is a type of ceiling finish made of a stippled, textured material. Popcorn ceilings were popularized in the mid-20th century and can still be found in many homes today.
Repairing a popcorn ceiling can be necessary for several reasons. Over time, the texture can become damaged due to factors such as water damage, impact, or general wear and tear. Additionally, popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos, a hazardous material that can pose health risks if disturbed. Removing or repairing popcorn ceilings that contain asbestos should only be performed by qualified professionals.
