ceilings

A ceiling is the upper interior surface of a room. A tin ceiling is an architectural element that was very popular in Victorian buildings in North America in the late 19th and early 20th century. Tin ceilings can also be called; embossed metal panels or stamped metal ceiling panels.

Snaplock tin ceiling is a proprietary tin ceiling tile system that uses tin ceiling panels to install direct to any type ceiling. These metal ceilings are patented (U.S. patent number 7,134,249). The metal panels will screw directly into drywall ceiling, plaster ceiling, popcorn ceiling or wood ceilings using an interlocking flange system. Available in many powdercoated colors, they can be used for copper ceilings and come in various shades of copper ceiling tiles and copper ceiling panels. Metal crown moldings compliment the installation by trimming out the ceiling.

Nail-up tin ceiling is a classic tin ceiling panel that overlaps on its 1/4″ perimeter nail rail installing direct to a wood substrate. These tin plated steel metal ceilings date back to the 1800’s. The tin panels will nail to plywood or furring strips on ceilings using nails. Available in many powdercoated colors, they can be used for copper ceilings and come in various shades of copper ceiling tiles and copper ceiling panels as well as over 50 powdercoated colors. Tin crown moldings compliment the installation by trimming out the ceiling.
