A bulkhead is used more commonly to only cover part of a ceiling, while a drop ceiling will typically conceal the entire thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulkheads can be made using a large variety of materials. Wood pilings and sheeting, vinyl, steel, aluminum, and composite materials are several of the options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a lot of options for bulkhead styles. Here, I will describe several types of styles which bulkheads can be installed in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, one of the more common styles of bulkheads is attached along the perimeter of a room. This style looks great with light fixtures added to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For ductwork that comes down from the ceiling in the center of a room, a bulkhead can also be built around it. These can be box-shaped, half sphere-shaped, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like the look of rafters in a home, bulkheads can even be installed to mimic that style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there are many special and unique designs that bulkheads can have to function doubly as decorative pieces. This includes curves, double step styles, light trough fixtures, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros and Cons of Bulkhead Concealment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bulkheads can be added to most homes<\/td><td>More expensive if added to an existing home<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>There are many style options to choose from<\/td><td>Some bulkhead styles are outdated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Can contain air vents and light fixtures<\/td><td>More easily damaged due to hollow insides<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bulkheads are watertight <\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bulkheads can be installed DIY<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

TJIs run perpendicular to ducts, keeping them visible but surrounding them and making them appear more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TJIs are most commonly built using various kinds of lumber. There aren&rsquo;t a ton of opportunities for variation in style other than the type of wood you use because the structure can&rsquo;t be changed very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the other options we have discussed are possible to do yourself, installing TJIs is a much more advanced project that should be left to a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are, however, several things to watch out for when installing TJI joists.

And this means that it can be painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a black painted exposed ducts above a modern kitchen with a marble kitchen island, refrigerator and cupboards\" class=\"wp-image-21446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Illustration of a black painted exposed ducts above a modern kitchen with a marble kitchen island, refrigerator and cupboards\" class=\"wp-image-21446 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Paint-the-Ducts.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended to use <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/difference-paint-and-enamel\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6070\">latex-based paint<\/a> on ducts made of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/galvanized-duct-dryer-vent-code-compliant\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13801\">galvanized steel<\/a>. The ductwork should also be painted with a latex primer before you begin painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can paint with a paintbrush or a can of spray paint, but keep in mind that it is easier to make mistakes with a paintbrush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, spray paint typically allows for a smoother finish, although it is harder to protect the surrounding areas, like the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the aesthetics of painted ductwork, you can choose to either conceal or highlight the ductwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A neutral paint color similar to the paint color of your ceiling and walls will work best for helping the ductwork blend in. If your ceiling has rafters, you can paint them to mimic the rafters and blend in better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, you can paint your ducts with a bright pop of color to add to the style of the room, creating an effect similar to that of an accent wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before painting your ductwork, it&rsquo;s important to clean them with soap, vinegar, a microfiber cloth, or any method that allows you to remove dust to ensure the best-looking paint job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros and Cons of Drop Ceiling Concealment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The overall cost is fairly low<\/td><td>The finished product may not look good<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You can conceal or highlight the ductwork<\/td><td>Painting and repainting can be time consuming<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Painting ductwork is a very simple process<\/td><td>Paint won&rsquo;t stick if using the wrong type<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You can paint over mistakes or repaint <\/td><td>Inadequate cleaning can result in bumps in paint<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homestratosphere.com\/what-is-drop-ceiling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.homestratosphere.com\/what-is-drop-ceiling\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.har.com\/blog_92150_drop-ceilings-pros-and-cons#:~:text=Pros%20and%20Cons%20of%20Drop%20Ceilings%201%20They%E2%80%99re,...%205%20Lighting%20solutions%20can%20be%20tricky.%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.har.com\/blog_92150_drop-ceilings-pros-and-cons#:~:text=Pros%20and%20Cons%20of%20Drop%20Ceilings%201%20They%E2%80%99re,&hellip;%205%20Lighting%20solutions%20can%20be%20tricky.%20<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bernardibuildingsupply.com\/drop-ceiling-or-drywall-ceiling-which-one-should-you-choose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bernardibuildingsupply.com\/drop-ceiling-or-drywall-ceiling-which-one-should-you-choose\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayoucitylumber.com\/7-types-of-common-bulkhead-material\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.bayoucitylumber.com\/7-types-of-common-bulkhead-material\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gypworks.com.au\/what-is-a-bulkhead-ceiling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.gypworks.com.au\/what-is-a-bulkhead-ceiling\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.house-painting-info.com\/articles\/5-ideas-from-hvac-experts-on-painting-ductwork\/#.YvLTVvjMLe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.house-painting-info.com\/articles\/5-ideas-from-hvac-experts-on-painting-ductwork\/#.YvLTVvjMLe8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weyerhaeuser.com\/blog\/7-common-joist-installation-mistakes-avoid\/#:~:text=And%20with%20their%20light%20weight%20and%20long%20lengths%2C,to%20squeaky%20floors%20for%20homeowners%20down%20the%20road.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.weyerhaeuser.com\/blog\/7-common-joist-installation-mistakes-avoid\/#:~:text=And%20with%20their%20light%20weight%20and%20long%20lengths%2C,to%20squeaky%20floors%20for%20homeowners%20down%20the%20road.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weyerhaeuser.com\/blog\/7-common-joist-installation-mistakes-avoid\/#:~:text=And%20with%20their%20light%20weight%20and%20long%20lengths%2C,to%20squeaky%20floors%20for%20homeowners%20down%20the%20road.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.weyerhaeuser.com\/blog\/7-common-joist-installation-mistakes-avoid\/#:~:text=And%20with%20their%20light%20weight%20and%20long%20lengths%2C,to%20squeaky%20floors%20for%20homeowners%20down%20the%20road.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While ductwork is important for proper air ventilation, it can be an eyesore in a home if visible.
