TCT-3003 Tin Ceiling Tile (2x4)

Product Description

No longer does the sophisticated look of a stamped metal ceiling tile have to remain in the bygone days of the Victorian Age. That same element of elegance can be found with the pressed tin ceiling options that are available here and now. Not only have these tiles of steel and tin been unchanged since the early 1800's in how they look and are made, they remain resilient in their decorative relevance.

Don't let the ceiling limit the imagination either. As a metal tile, it has a durability and fireproof nature that makes in versatile in decorating. Use them on the ceiling, as a complete wall covering, or just half a wall such as a wainscoting. Improve the look of a kitchen with a tin backsplash, metal cabinet doors, or as table tops and hutch backdrops.

Having a stamped metal tile provides the illusion of control over this period of decorating style by simply complementing its already attractive appearance with paint manipulation. Give a bar that 1920's present-day touch with tin tiles painted glossy white or purposely crackle and chip the paint to give the room an age of that same era vibe.

Finishing
Painting-
The tin plated steel sheets are ready for painting if you so desire. Make sure to select a coating appropriate for painting bare tin and to follow the directions on your coating of choice. There are hundreds of different types of coatings available. Don't be afraid to experiment. Finishing materials can be purchased at most local home improvement stores.

Natural Tin Finish-
If you love the look of the plated tin then you should apply a clear Lacquer to the tiles. Lacquer seals and places a nice hard protective finish that, when applied correctly, does not dull the natural finish of the tile. This keeps rust from forming on the edges and surface over time. Finishing materials can be purchased at most local home improvement stores.
