Most ceilings are essentially horizontal walls, built using the same materials and methods as their vertical counterparts--the main difference is that the wood framing members behind the surfaces are joists rather than wall studs. Drywall and plaster are, by far, the most common surface materials. The conventional ceiling is 8 feet high and flat but, when it comes to departing from this norm, the sky is the limit. In this section of HomeTips, you will find information about the various types of ceilings and the materials and techniques used to build and repair them.
