Installing a Tin Backsplash Step By Step - Step 3
The cut panel now measures 18 inches tall and will fit flush between the countertop and the base of the cabinets.

Coat the backside of the cut panel with a construction adhesive like Liquid Nails® or Acryl Pro. The adhesive will be the primary method of securing the panels to the wall. (Vertical orientation of tin panels can successfully utilize adhesive as a fastener, however, the adhesive method does not work for panels in a horizontal ceiling orientation).

Conclusion

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.
