Determining Panel Quantity

Determine the number of panels you will need:

  1. The project area is 17' x 15'. Because the panels are the standard 2' x 2', you need to figure your dimensions in multiples of 2'. Therefore, round up your measurements to 18' x 16'.
  2. Multiply the length of the room by the width to determine the total square footage: 18' x 16' = 288
  3. Divide your total square footage by the coverage area of each tin panel, which is 4 square feet. 288 ÷ 4 = 72
  4. Add ten percent to the estimated total panel value to accomodate for unpredicted material shortages. 72 x .10 = 7.2, 7 panels rounded off.

Total panels recommended for a 17' x 15' ceiling = 79

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.
