Here we have a compound wall perimeter, with an outside corner and an inside corner sharing the same wall. A piece of C1m is installed on the outside wall. C1m is factory mitered for outside corners. A piece of standard C1 is installed on the inside wall.

A piece of C1c is installed on the compound wall. C1c is factory mitered on one end for inside corner coping. The profile of the outside wall C1m is traced out on the C1c, then it is trimmed with tin snips.

The trimmed C1c will now fit flush against the C1m to create a finished outside corner. Caulking can be used to reinforce the corners or to mask any gaps that may be evident.

Crown is generally installed perpendicular to the cornice and projects evenly over the ceiling and the corresponding wall. To determine the proper installation angle, mark the projection length out from the cornice on both the wall and the 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.
