Filler Tin Ceiling Panels

Filler is a 24" x 24" size, .010 guage tin plated steel ceiling panel.
  • For rooms with a complex perimeter.
  • For patterns with a deep profile depth that do not accommodate cropping.
  • For design layouts specifying filler.

Instead of a design embossment, the filler panel has a flat, hammered texture which makes it ideal for filling perimeters, where an embossed panel would need to be cut to fit flush. Our filler is the only in the industry to have a nail rail making the transition from one panel to another virtually seamless.

Some websites represent filler as being a requirement for a tin ceiling. This is not the case. In fact, the most common tin ceiling layout uses no filler at all and merely trims the embossed panel flush against the wall. However, for certain situations, filler is necessary.

Installing Filler:

  • Cut the filler to fit into the coverage area. When finishing a perimeter, cut the filler panels so that the edges will butt flush against the wall. Miter the filler at a 45% angle when meeting at corners.
  • Install the filler by coating the backside with a construction adhesive like Liquid Nails or AcrylPro and position it in place.
  • Once positioned, nail the filler panel into the substrate, placing one nail every 6 inches around the perimeter of the filler panel.
  • Overlap adjacent filler panels along the nail rail. When meeting SnapLock™, the filler edge can slide into the female flange and overlap the male flange.
  • Flat molding is commonly used to transition between filler and panels.

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.
