Special surfaces are often used on ceilings for a couple reasons. One, a rough surface hides defects on the ceiling easily. Because it is a ceiling rather than a wall, the surfaces do not collect dust easily. Two, the rough surface acts to absorb sound that would otherwise echo through the room.

What kind of painter's tape can be used on a rough ceiling?
Textured or "rough" ceilings are not good candidates for taping. Often the texture is sprayed on and therefore susceptible to peeling and damage. A better system of masking is to use a painting shield, they come in several sizes and forms. The method of use, is to put the shield over the ceiling and tight up to the wall. Paint up to the shield, then move it to the next section. Be sure to wipe all paint from the shield each time you use it and always put the same side against the ceiling. You don't risk getting paint on the ceiling that way.

There is a gadget called a paint shield, you can find one in any good paint & wallpaper retailer. They come in a couple of sizes, get a big one and a small one, sometimes it's not possible to use the large one in tight spots, but a small one is tedious to use on a big project. Place the shield on the ceiling, flush against the wall and paint carefully up to it. ALWAYS wipe the shield each time you move it, before putting it back against the ceiling, this insures you don't get paint on the ceiling.
