I am trying to refurbish a house built in 1959. In one room there is a soft ceiling tile. According to the original owner, it was installed in
1959 by tacking the tiles to furring strips that were in turn attached directly to the ceiling deck. The original owner also said it was chosen by her and the builder for sound dampening in what was to become the family room. We are thinking about painting these tiles and need to know if this is feasable, and if it is then how to best prepare the surface. I am thinking that there must be some sort of sealer that I could use.So in short, I am hoping that some of you can make some guesses as to what sort of ceiling tile I am dealing with and then offer suggestions on painting it.
Thank you in advance.
