Do I have to take down the 12 x 12 inch ceiling tiles?

Question

Has anyone found a way to cover the joints of 12 x 12 inch ceiling tiles so that you could use wallpaper on the ceiling?  Or am I stuck with plasterboard or ship board as my only hope?

Gk · Answer

What are your ceiling tiles made from? I am curious as to whether wallpaper would even adhere to certain materials--if you could seal the joints.

Kathy · Answer

THERE IS A THICK WALL PAPER LINER YOU CAN PUT OVER THE TILES, THEN YOUR WALL PAPER. I love wallpaper on a ceiling.

William · Answer

Wall paper won't stick to the tiles.

some of the re-do will depend on what is BEHIND the ceiling tiles ... IMPO, I think I'd remove them and just sheet rock the ceiling, tape, mud, sand and then put what ever you want on ... wallpaper is interesting ... https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/design-101/how-to-hang-wallpaper-on-the-ceiling

To use shiplap you'll have to be sure there is sufficient support for it as well as the sheet rock ... but the wood will be much heavier I think

Ever thought about using contact paper? I have used it many times with great success...
