Is anyone aware of any fire-rated ceiling material to cover up popcorn ceiling?

It is messy but not terribly difficult to remove unless it is painted over. Scrape it off and we’ll cheer you on!
Lightly spray ceiling with a hand held water bottle. Use a wide drywall tool to scrape the ceiling and hold a light weight trash can or dust pan under the tool to catch the popcorn as it falls. It’s messy but goes pretty fast.
You can cover it- this is a good tutorial https://www.hometalk.com/diy/floors-ceilings/good-bye-popcorn-ceiling-1852872

I would think you could cover it with sheets of dry wall....but anyway you look at it, it will be work. Who ever thought "popcorn" was a cleaver design idea should get poked in the eye.
I was told that is it has not been painted over it will easily scrape off.
