How can you tell if your ceilings are sagging?
- Large or small cracks in your ceiling or cornice
- Visible join lines throughout rooms
- Screw holes showing
- Bow in ceiling

Why Ceilings Sag
Sagging ceilings are due to old industry practices that simply required adhesive to structural beams. Modern (and properly practiced) ceiling fixing should make sagging ceilings a thing of the past.

Measure from ground to ceiling near cornice line and then in the middle of the room, if the measurement is less in the middle of the room then your ceiling will more likely be sagging.
