A flat white ceiling next to an aged popcorn one shows clearly at the door opening, in both texture and colour.

Where to stop

Carry it to a natural break, or accept the transition where a casing hides it. We point out the natural stopping points in the Bearspaw house so the decision is made deliberately rather than discovered afterwards.

Fixtures, vents and the wall line

The details that finish it

Pot light trims and vent covers come down rather than being cut around, and the junction where ceiling meets wall is cut clean.

Why they decide the look

A perfectly flat, well-painted Bearspaw ceiling still looks unfinished if there is a ragged ring at each fixture or a wavering line at the wall. This is the part that separates a stripped ceiling from a refinished one.

Painting the ceiling properly once it is flat

Wet edge and one direction

Ceiling paint sets fast. Rolled in one consistent direction to a wet edge, one continuous span at a time.
