Tin Ceiling Tiles: OFFICIAL SITE

Tin tile ceilings come in many colors, textures, depths, and can be fully custom designed by the purchaser. Tin tiles can be finished to give a room the look you want, bright and contemporary or antique finished.  Tin tiles were used in the past because of the long lasting character they added to a room.  Today, they can be customized by the manufacturer to any color you want in a long lasting finish that won’t tarnish or rust.

Different finishes and What Makes Them Different:

You can get bright, shiny tin tile ceilings in different metallics like tin, chrome, copper, and brass with a highly reflective quality.  These are often used in a more contemporary and modern looking room. You can get faux, hand painted marble finishes or stone finishes like granite or slate. Others may choose whites, black onyx, or brick and art deco finishes, depending on the usage. 

You can also get antique finishes like copper, brass, pewter and powder coated, that are not shiny and reflective, and give a muted metallic look, much like older tin ceiling tiles.  Now you can get any color or finish to give your room the ambiance to fit your decorating needs.

Why Multiple Finishes and Choosing One Over Another:

Tin tile ceilings can be the focal point of a room and add beauty and elegance. You must determine the look you are after and then select the colors, patterns and reflective quality you want. Consideration should be given to accessories in the room, when selecting the finish for your tin ceiling tiles, to insure they will compliment the room. The pattern and depth of the ceiling can alter the appearance of the room, as well.

How Finishes are Applied Distinguish Tin Tiles From Other Products:

Typically, finishes are applied using powder coating that contains resin, pigment and pulverized metal which are electro-statically charged and applied. They are then placed through temperatures over 400 degrees which causes the pigments to melt, gel and cure into a highly durable finish. Most other ceiling products will not have the custom finishes, reflective qualities or long lasting durability that a tin tile ceiling provides.
 
How Tiles Look or Function Without a Finish:

Like the tin tile ceilings of yesteryear, without the highly durable, manufactured ceiling tile finishes, tin tile ceilings would tarnish from moisture and turn to a dark patina and could be subject to rust or unusable in high moisture areas. With the selections of color, designs, depth and patterns today, you can achieve an antique patina or have a highly reflective, bright ceiling that will stay that way for many years to come, with little or no maintenance required.

Finishing a tin tile product is more cost effective and durable if a manufacture does it compared to a homeowner trying to achieve the same results. You can find tin tile ceiling products for under $3.00 per square foot which is quite affordable, long lasting and low maintenance.

Tin Tile Ceilings are a great way to add beauty, elegance and class to a room and offer a low maintenance, highly durable alternative to add texture and character to reflect your decorating taste.
