Weve moved into a 1960 house where the ceilings seem to be a type of fibreboard (like chipboard); the joints are taped and the ceilings painted. The surfaces aren't great but I'm not that keen on artex.....any paint / roll - on products out there to give a good finish (rough is fine!) that will 'mask' what's there? We've tried Polycell Smoothover (c*ap!) :shock: and are trying B&Q Textured Paint but if it does what it says on the tin (!) it'll only cover hairline cracks.
Any ideas?? THAAAAAANX! :wink:
 
Textered paint isnt really that thick and may not cover as much as you hope..Any textured surface could be risky if the ceiling is a little flexible..it could break off..

Have you considered a blown vinyl?...non patterned type?
