Replaced a ceiling mounted one that made the plasterboard vibrate with an inline fan. The inline fan is up in the attic and ducts through the roof. The new fan extracts 3x as much air and is much quieter.
Still need to make good the ceiling, but that’s tomorrow*'s job.
*Tomorrow in this case may not actually be tomorrow.
Ugh. Textured ceilings. Created to hide uneven construction and save time.
and to dampen the acoustics
But I want maximum acoustics in my bathroom. The world needs to know.
Only if designed to. Acoustic materials are very specific. Most of this cheap junk applied is just plastered textures barely different than the gypsum wallboard they’re applied to.
When we moved in, the first room we renovated had this same paper, but it had been covered with vinyl paint. We ended up getting it re-boarded and skimmed. Life’s too short to strip off that shit.
My bathroom is covered in massive spikes of the stuff, not even pebbles or “texture” like 3-4cm spires of plaster spikes.
You have my sympathies. Our hall, stairs and landing have textured plaster on the walls above the dado rail. We used a random orbital sander to take the worst peaks down and then skimmed over. Sanded when dry, re-skimmed, sanded, primed then two coats of paint. A one week job took three. It still looks a bit shit, but it’s way better than it was. We are still finding bits of the dust when we move a bit of furniture.
