Continuing
on with last week’s wall and ceiling discussion. Even when drywall
isn’t the finished surface of the wall or ceiling it’s typically
installed as a backer in most
home remodeling projects. The drywall can be both the finish material and the underlayment for other finishes. The
best Seattle home remodeling contractors and
custom home builders
know better than to use drywall under tile in wet areas like a shower
but it can be used for tile backing in dry areas like around a
fireplace.
Seattle Home Remodeling – Walls and Ceilings – sky’s the limit.
Some common wall finishes applied over drywall in
Seattle home remodeling
projects are: Wall paper, wood or tile wainscoting, wood paneling,
sheet metal paneling, plaster coatings… Same is true for ceilings. In
home remodeling
there isn’t really a limit to what can be used for a wall or ceiling
finish material. We used Moroccan doors as the ceiling finish for a
Bellevue home remodeling
project that included a meditation room. Other common ceiling
treatments used in home remodeling include: Plaster finishes, box
beams, crown moldings, wood paneling, sheet metal… The most common
finish over drywall is paint. Suffice to say there is an endless array
of paint colors and methods of application. I’ll dig a little deeper
into paint in another post. Really, just about anything can be used as
the finish for a wall or ceiling in a
home remodeling or
custom home building project. It comes down to how will it look and how much will it cost.
