Suspended Ceiling

Posted in Press Release, ceiling information, remodeling by Daniel on August 7, 2008

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

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.

What is Embossed Metal Panel?

Posted in ceiling information, remodeling by Daniel on July 18, 2008

Embossed metal paneling is a take off of old artistic plasterwork. This artistic process was eventually transformed into stamped (embossed) sheets with traditional patterns. Today, there is a market for embossed metal panels that are used in residential and commercial buildings and homes.

If you have ever been to an old bar or bakery from New York City down to Tampa, Florida (Ybor City) you have probably seen these ceilings. Until a few years ago, they were painted and hand nailed into wood. Over time, that paint begins to chip. Since the panels were nailed, it is virtually impossible to take them down to repair them and paint them properly. People would just paint over them! This led to many problems, one of which would void itself of embossing due to layers of paint. Not only that, but rust would eventually consume the metal panel and it would deteriorate into dust.

Latest trends have shown a shift from painting to powder coating. A powder coat is an electromagnetic adhesion of paint particles to a metal surface. It is then baked in an oven. This finish is similar to a car finish or what is finished on a home washer or dryer. It is close to permanent and will most likely outlast the building it is installed in. When buying tin panels, avoid companies that do not powder coat. It will save you a lot of hassle and expense in the long run. Also, the companies that do powder coat don’t charge as much as those that paint because the process is actually less expensive for the manufacturer!

Fixing Drywall and Plaster Ceilings

Posted in Videos, ceiling information, installation, remodeling by Daniel on July 18, 2008

One option in repairing or replacing drywall or plaster ceilings is to replace or cover up what you already have with a tin ceiling. Traditionally, tin ceilings involved arduously installing a wood substrate (plywood) to the joices. Today, however, there is an option that requires one person and a screw driver! It’s really that easy.

The American Tin Ceiling Company has developed something for the homeowner. The SnapLock panel screws directly into anything with the appropriate screw! For example, if you are wanting to put this tin material on a drywall ceiling, you would use a drywall screw. If you are going into plaster, you would use a metal plaster screw. Wood or metal molding is the fixated around the corner of the room to finish off the installed metal ceiling. Below are a few videos that show exactly how to install this product. It literally is created for and installs easily by the homeowner.

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.
