Metal Ceiling Décor
When you walk into a room, how many walls do you see? If you’re like most people, your eyes are drawn to the four vertical walls and the floor for a total of five. Unfortunately, you probably don’t notice the sixth wall because it’s often just an off-white space that seems to get lost in the rest of the room’s decor. Many homeowners consider ceiling treatment to be installing a light fixture or perhaps a ceiling fan, but there’s an inexpensive DIY-friendly option for turning your ceilings into the most dramatic walls in your home.
You may have seen pictures of metal ceiling tiles in magazine articles about beautiful old Victorian homes, but there’s a pretty good chance you’ve never been in a home that actually had them on display. That’s because up until recently they were usually only available from boutique vendors that only high-end interior decorators were familiar with or through retailers who specialized in restoration and antique building supplies.
That all changed when Decorative Ceiling Tiles began offering a complete line of metal tiles that look just like the originals, but can fit just about any budget and are easy to install. The same type of metal ceiling tiles that used to be available to just a privileged few in years gone by can now be used to give any room in your home a warm and unique appearance.
Metal Ceiling Décor Styles
While the metal tiles used in older homes normally had a period or classic design, Decorative Ceiling Tiles has expanded the playing field and offers styles to complement just about any interior décor. A few you may wish to consider:
Classic Tin Ceiling Tiles – if you want your room to have a period look, these classic tin ceiling tiles can be an excellent choice. The category includes patterns such as Romanesque, Queen Victoria, Old Farmhouse, and Baroque. Each of these patterns and the more than 60 other classic selections looked great in 18th and 19th homes and they can look just as good in any room where you desire an antique or colonial design.
Contemporary Tin Ceiling Tiles – metal ceiling décor isn’t just about giving rooms an old look, Decorative Ceiling Tiles also offers many contemporary tin ceiling tiles that can be used to enhance any modern interior design. The collection includes almost 30 patterns including customer favorites such as The Manhattan, Diamond Plate, and Classic Floating Geometry.
Custom Tin Ceiling Tiles – if you’re one of those people who enjoys being a little different than the masses, Decorative Ceiling Tiles has the capability to create metal tiles in your own unique design. Whether it’s a favorite pet, woodland vista, or just to match an antique pattern you may already have, we can often make metal tiles based on your design. If you want a custom tile but don’t have a particular design in mind, consider tiles in the custom collection such as Longhorn, Union Square, and French Quarter which display a unique pattern.
Metal Ceiling Décor Finishes
Patterns aren’t the only choices you have when shopping for metal tiles from Decorative Ceiling Tiles. Most tiles are available in tin covered steel, aluminum, and for a truly beautiful look – solid copper. Tin covered steel tiles are just like the tiles used in homes many years ago and must be painted on both sides to protect the finish over time. Aluminum tiles are lightweight, easy to work with, and best of all – available in over 80 prefinished colors that should never rust or need painting. What can be said about solid copper tiles other than they can be used to create some of the most elegant and stunning ceilings that you or your guests may have ever seen?
Metal Tile Installation
Perhaps the best part about using metal ceiling tiles in your home other than their unique and attractive appearance is their easy installation. Even homeowners who aren’t seasoned DIYers should be able to upgrade their rooms’ ceilings during a remodeling or renovation project. Decorative Ceiling Tiles has drop-in metal ceiling tiles instructions and nail-up ceiling tiles instructions for the two primary types of installation normally used. There are also numerous how-to videos and installation tips to help you get started and answer any questions you or your contractor may have during the course of the project.
