Level 5 ceiling with stretch ceiling!

Knockdown ceilings have never been easier to replace — Space Ceiling is the first in Calgary truly helping people create cleaner, healthier environments.

Why Remove Knockdown Ceilings?

  • Dated Look – Knockdown ceilings make interiors feel old-fashioned and limit modern design possibilities.
  • Health Risks – Many knockdown ceilings in Calgary homes may contain asbestos or trap dust and allergens over time.
  • Difficult Removal – Sanding or refinishing knockdown texture is messy, time-consuming, and often spreads harmful particles into the air.

Why We Cover Ceilings – Not Just knockdown

We install stretch ceilings for many reasons:

  • Covering popcorn texture

  • Covering knockdown texture
  • Hiding concrete or cracked ceilings

  • Restoring flood-damaged or stained ceilings

  • Sealing in asbestos without disturbing it

  • Leveling uneven surfaces quickly and cleanly

Technically, it’s a type of suspended ceiling—but unlike the ones you’re used to, this one looks modern, sleek, and high-end.

Our Safe Alternative

Why Is This Better Than Removing Popcorn or Knockdown Ceilings the Traditional Way?

 

Traditional ceiling removal involves scraping, sanding, sealing off rooms, and living in dust for days — not to mention the risk of asbestos exposure in older Calgary homes.

The Space Ceiling system eliminates all of that. Instead of removing your old popcorn or knockdown texture, we install a new stretch ceiling over the existing one, completely sealing in dust, damage, and potential contaminants without disturbing them.

Our process is safer, faster, and cleaner — with no demolition, no mess, and no need to vacate your home. In just 1–2 days, you get a perfectly smooth, modern ceiling with options for LED lighting, acoustic materials, and custom finishes.

We don’t remove — we transform.

FAQ

Stretch Ceilings in Calgary – FAQs | Space Ceiling

Stretch Ceilings in Calgary – FAQs | Space Ceiling

1. What is a stretch ceiling?

A stretch ceiling is a modern ceiling system using a PVC or fabric membrane tensioned below your existing surface. It creates a clean, flat finish that hides imperfections, ductwork, or hazardous materials like asbestos.

2. Do you remove the popcorn or knockdown ceiling first?

No. We do not scrape or disturb the existing popcorn or knockdown texture. Our system safely covers it without releasing dust or asbestos particles, creating a smooth new surface instantly.

3. Is this safe if my ceiling has asbestos?

Yes. Our process is asbestos-safe because we never disturb the existing ceiling. The new stretch membrane creates a sealed barrier between the old surface and your living area, preventing any exposure.

4. Can I customize the look of my new ceiling?

Absolutely. Choose from matte, satin, or glossy finishes in over 100 colors. Add integrated LED lighting, acoustic treatments, or printed designs for a truly unique look.

5. How much does a stretch ceiling cost in Calgary?

In Calgary, stretch ceilings typically range between $7 and $25 per square foot depending on material, design, and lighting options. Basic white matte ceilings are the most affordable, while custom printed or galaxy ceilings are premium installations.

6. What’s the warranty on a stretch ceiling?

All our stretch ceilings come with a 10-year warranty on both material and installation. With proper care, they can last 20 years or longer without fading, cracking, or sagging.

7. How long does installation take?

Most residential projects are completed in just one or two days. There’s no dust, no sanding, and no painting required.

8. Can I stay in my home during the installation?

Yes. The process is fast, quiet, and clean, allowing homeowners to stay comfortably on-site during installation.

9. Can you integrate LED lighting into a stretch ceiling?

Yes. We specialize in integrated LED lighting systems including perimeter strips, recessed fixtures, and custom backlit designs. These create a modern, ambient effect without visible wiring or fixtures.

10. Does a stretch ceiling improve room acoustics?

Yes. Acoustic fabric options help reduce echo and improve sound quality. They’re especially popular in offices, studios, and home theatres in Calgary.

11. How much ceiling height do I lose?

Our system requires as little as 3/4 inch (2 cm) of space below the existing ceiling — much less than drywall or suspended ceilings.

12. What makes stretch ceilings better than drywall or suspended ceilings?

Stretch ceilings are faster to install, maintenance-free, and more durable than drywall. Unlike suspended ceilings, they offer seamless surfaces, integrated lighting, and custom finishes without visible grids.

13. How do I maintain my stretch ceiling?

Maintenance is simple. The surface can be wiped with a soft microfiber cloth and mild cleaner. It’s anti-static, moisture-resistant, and never needs repainting.

14. Can you install stretch ceilings in basements or condos?

Yes. Stretch ceilings are ideal for basements, condos, or any space with concrete or textured ceilings. They hide imperfections, wires, and ducting while keeping ceiling height intact.

15. How can I get a quote for my project?

You can request a free quote through our website at spaceceiling.ca/contact or by calling our Calgary team. We’ll discuss your design ideas and provide a clear estimate based on your ceiling type and square footage.
