Snaplock really does make installation a “snap”. Bottom line: Using a quality product provided by a top notch company in conjunction with first class customer support creates superior results.

#9 / #8 White
For our dining room, we selected panel design #9 because of its ability to create a center medallion. After receiving the panels, we determined the medallion looked fine but realized that the size of the pattern itself dictated a larger ceiling area in order to be appreciated. We came up with an alternate idea using a perimeter of panel #8 but figured we would have to eat the cost of the excess # 9 panels in addition to the cost of the #8's. A quick call to American Tin Ceilings solved the problem. After the staff reviewed our concern and new layout, they instructed us to return the surplus #9 panels for credit towards what we needed. Since we were using two different patterns, we also decided to install a flat molding border to soften the pattern-to-pattern transition. This also adds a coffered style to the overall ceiling. Since we were creating a non-standard layout, we decided to dress it up a bit more. We made large crown blocks to accent the 9” crown molding and added transition blocks at the corners of the medallion panels. The result is fantastic.
This hallway was our first tin ceiling project. It was quick to install and generates positive comments from everyone who visits. We used panel #8 for the entire ceiling.

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.
