Tin Ceiling Homeowner Installation

American Tin Ceilings,

We are very pleased with our tin ceilings!  We did not use a professional 

installer, but rather installed it ourselves.  We did search for an installer originally, 

but found only one company a few towns away (Collinsville, CT), but they were 

not familiar with the variety of your product, (they used a small assortment of 

painted and unpainted panels only), and quoted us several thousand dollars just 

for the installation, so we decided to do it ourselves and are very glad that we 

did.  Your panels were very easy to install, provided time was taken to ensure 

that each panel lined up.  It also helped to use an electric brad gun and a proper 

scaffolding height.  One additional thing we did to help hold up the panels was to 

use Hard-as-Nails caulking.  We put a dap on each corner and in the center of 

the panel to prevent the panel (2 x 2) from sagging.  We also found that two 

people greatly improved the speed in which the panels could be applied.  While I 

could do it myself, having another person (my wife) hold the panel steady while I 

nailed it made it much easier.  Cutting the panels for light fixtures was quite easy, 

though we did make one mistake by failing to reverse the panel when measuring 

it!  Fortunately we had some extra panels with our delivery so it was not a 

problem.

We are thrilled at the way the ceiling looks, and we have received rave reviews 

from everyone who has seen it.   Many thought we had uncovered and restored 

the original (1906) ceiling as part of our kitchen remodel, and were surprised to 

learn that everything is brand new!  The video on your website and Gary’s 

answers to our questions helped give us the confidence that we could do it 

ourselves.  We are moderately handy, and though it was somewhat time 

consuming because of the need to ensure the panels were square, it was not 

painstaking or frustrating, and the result of our effort is very rewarding.  Finally, 

the method we used was to start in the far corner and work our way out so the 

seams are not as visible than if we had started in the center.  Before we did that 

though, we measured the ceiling and chalk lined the squares so we would know 

if it would be proportional.  With some minor adjustments, we were able to do the 

installation so that it is square.  

We have attached some pictures for you of our kitchen ceiling from different 

angles.  Please feel free to use any of them on your website, and also our name 

as a reference if anyone in our area (West Hartford, CT) has any questions or 

needs local encouragement from a do-it-yourself installation.  We will highly 

recommend your product.  Attached are five pictures of the kitchen ceiling:  

Viewing this picture, we started in the lower right-hand corner and worked 

toward the upper left.  (The middle light is purposefully not in line with the other 

two).

Thanks again,  Bob & Carol Fiske

Suspended Ceiling

A suspended ceiling is also referred to as a dropped ceiling or a drop-in ceiling. These ceilings are usually found in commercial spaces like casinos, hotels, restaurants and office spaces. It is a secondary ceiling used to hide unsightly piping, wiring or ductwork.

Suspended Ceiling

It consists of metal channel grid work (shown above) called a suspended grid or t-bar grid. Standard grid systems are 15″/16″ and run horizontally and vertically forming squares along the ceiling area.

Tin ceiling panels sit nicely and beautifully within these grid systems, enhancing the look and feel of the space they are installed in. For those that are unfamiliar with the tin ceiling panel being an option, traditional acoustical tiles are used which have a much less aesthetic appeal.
