The following pictures and descriptions are a step by step tutorial on how to properly cut, crimp and bend the panels.

 

Measure the spaces that are not 24"x24". Measure the panel that will be occupying that space and make your marks. Using your drawn guides, cut the tin with a sharp pair of tin snips. Use a 'crimper' to flatten the embossment from the pattern 1 1/4 " from the edge of the panel which will be the 1" reveal with a 1/4 " flange to sit on the grid.

 

Use the crimper to create the 1 1/4 " vertical and bend on a 90° imitating the other three sides. Using the remaining 1/4 ", crimp and bend for a flange to rest on the grid.

Why are Tin Ceilings so popular today?

Tin Ceilings remind us of a different time in our country's history. Tin Ceilings stir memories of gentler days when elegance and beauty reigned. A slower paced era where style and grace were the watchwords in home decor. Old time victorian homes, formal parlors, farmhouses with wood burning stoves and other historic architecture we've seen in literature and film or remember from our childhood.

It is said that "Everything Old Becomes New Again". It reinvents itself and becomes fashionable again, perhaps because it was so fashionable in the first place. Fashion goes in and out of style as modern ideas are introduced to the market. But the popular styling's of the past always cycle back into modern contemporary culture. The Tin Ceiling exemplifies this concept.
