- Stretch Ceiling – A stretch ceiling uses a stretched material like PVC. These are the ceilings you will want to install if you are looking for additional flexibility in your home designs.
- Hollow-Core Slab Ceiling – If you have a two-story home, you may very likely have hollow-core slab ceilings. These ceilings are lightweight yet are quite strong.
- Vermiculite Ceiling – Vermiculite ceilings is the official name of the ceilings that everyone calls popcorn ceilings. This type of ceiling was very popular decades ago.
