Lightweight and easy to install,
tin ceiling tiles add a décor of history and elegance to
any room.
Manufactured from several different types of metal, including
tin, steel, copper, and brass, ceiling return you to the era
of the middle nineteenth century. During this time, large sheets
of
tin were easy to manufacture and ship.
Received in large rolls, the tin was then laid out and stamped
in a variety of designs. These sheets of metal would then be cut
and used as a ceiling for many residential and commercial buildings.
Returning to those historic days, many designers are beginning
to install tin ceiling tiles either using the classic nail or
screw in method as well as the drop in method.
These metal plates come in two standard sizes: 2’ x 2’ and
the more standard ceiling tile size, 2’ x 4’. The larger
of the two sizes is commonly used in many commercial buildings,
and is a definite favorite when it comes to drop-in ceiling installation.
Although tin tiles were originally meant to be used as a ceiling,
a design trend is to place the metal tiles on walls and kitchen
islands.
Many decorators believe this to be the perfect look when
someone wishes to add flare or make a statement of historical
nobility. Tin ceiling tiles are designed in many different fashions. Whether
you are looking to refinish your pre-existing ceiling tiles or
redesign your kitchen with copper ceiling plates, there is a pattern
to match your personality.
With over thirty different plate patterns
to choose from, you are sure to find a tin ceiling tile that
fits your project.
