Hoping I can get some feedback on covering/replacing just the living room area ceiling. There was an old leak before we bought it & there is a small hole & saggy place. I see some white wall panels on Lowes site. Wonder if they will be ok, but I am worried about the fitting it & seams. I know we will have to have seam molding, & edge trim of some kind. Not room for a drop ceiling
The square tiles? Not sure how that would do. --70.158.xxx.xx |

Here's a trick i use.
Depending on where the hole is, I cut out the bad part, THEN I get pine tongue and groove boards 5.5 inches wide (1x6) , stain them with whatever stain looks good and install them, covering the area. Trim around the edge with quarter round.
If the hole is in an awkward area (near the edge, etc, I either run the boards wall to wall or sometimes make a second area in the room's ceiling to "balance" it out.
Use some colored paper or cardboard to make a couple test pieces and move them around until it looks good.
These boards cost about $1.50 a square foot here or even less if I go to a sawmill. So, a 3x3 foot hole is about 9 square feet. --97.95.x.xxx |

You can still buy the mobile home ceiling. They are thin and light weight. We purchased the buttons and just added more screw buttons to suppose a brittle ceiling. Suppose we are buying time. But the panels appear to hook together or slide together. Call the mobile home parts place near you, they are smart in navigating the available materials and know how. Dont add another layer of paneling from Lowes, to heavy for the structure of the interior ceiling/ exterior roof. Just saying. --99.203.xx.xx |

5/8(or any) Sheetrock is too heavy & time-consuming.
Use the lightweight stuff made for mobile homes - especially on the ceiling were weight matters more & damage is less likely. And it's what people expect.
If you want to dress it up, remove the existing ceiling paneling & replace with 4 X 8 sheets of bead board looking panels. Flat pieces of trim over seams. --70.160.xxx.xxx |

I don't have any mobiles and it has been a while since I was in one. But I did come across this site the other day.
DecorativeCeilingTiles dot net. Glue up styrofoam decorative tiles. 20 x 20 some less then $2 each. Paintable. Some look like old tin styles, some modern and crazy. Maybe they can hide everything. --108.4.xxx.xxx |
