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.
