Thousands of old homes had low suspended drop ceilings installed in the 1970s and 1980s to hide ugly old wiring and ductwork, and these ceilings cut 200 to 300 millimeters off the original ceiling height, making rooms feel dark, cramped, and claustrophobic. When you remove the old outdated suspended ceiling, you will expose the original much higher ceiling structure, but you will also be left with a large exposed gap between the top of your original wall and the new higher ceiling line. This gap can be perfectly filled and finished with short custom cut sections of EPS Cement Sandwich Panel that match the exact thickness of your original old walls. The panels create a perfectly seamless vertical wall extension that blends completely with your existing old wall, so you cannot see any join line between the new and old wall sections after you apply a single coat of paint. The panels are so lightweight that they can be easily secured in place to the existing wall studs, with no need for any extra heavy structural support. This simple renovation trick instantly makes every room in your old house feel far more spacious, open, and comfortable, and it is one of the most cost effective ways to dramatically improve the interior feel of an old home.
