Decorative Ceiling Tins

Decorative Ceiling Tins


Adding the look of decorative ceiling tins to a home adds character and old world charm. Perfect for both traditional and Victorian homes, tin ceilings match up well with most colors and designs. There is a large assortment of colors and styles available on the market today. Many styles are reproductions of older designs from the turn of the century.


Sizes


Decorative ceiling tins come in 6-, 12- and 24-inch patterns to cover both small and large ceiling areas.


Location


This style of ceiling is popular in kitchens and foyers. Tall ceilings highlighted with tin and trimmed out with a crown molding add prestige and style to the top of the room.


Styles and Designs


Styles and designs to choose from include diamond, scroll, floral, fanned corners and square inlay. These styles are available in pieces that can be nailed to wood studs or placed in a recessed track.


Colors


While the ceilings are made from tin, they also come in faux colored versions such as copper-toned, green patina, antiqued, white and black.


Care








Caring for decorative ceiling tins involves applying a clear coat finish and cleaning with a mild soap and water. For other metals or painted tin, use a slightly damp cloth with non-abrasive cleaning aids.
