Cover Your Popcorn Ceiling the Smart Way with Snap Lock™ Tin Tiles

Popcorn ceilings had their moment—but now they’re just outdated, hard to clean, and even harder to love. If you’re tired of staring at that bumpy texture overhead, we’ve got a smarter, simpler solution that doesn’t require scraping, sanding, or hiring a contractor.

Introducing SnapLock™—a patented ceiling tile system designed to cover popcorn ceilings beautifully, without tearing anything down.

Why SnapLock™ is the Best Way to Cover Popcorn Ceilings

Removing a popcorn ceiling is a messy, time-consuming job that often reveals surprises (and not the good kind). SnapLock™ lets you skip the demolition entirely. Just screw the tiles right into the ceiling—yes, even over that textured surface.

Here’s why it works:

No scraping required – skip the mess and leave the popcorn ceiling in place
No plywood or furring strips needed – SnapLock™ tiles screw directly into drywall or plaster
Lightweight & DIY-friendly – each panel is easy to handle and install
Stunning metal finish – dozens of patterns and colors to match your style
Fast results – transform your ceiling in a weekend

With SnapLock™, your outdated popcorn ceiling becomes a design feature—not a flaw.

How It Works: The SnapLock™ System

SnapLock™ tiles are made of real tin-plated steel with a built-in interlocking flange system. Each tile locks into the next and includes pre-drilled screw holes for fast, secure installation.

Installation Steps:

Mark chalk lines on your ceiling to ensure straight rows
Start in one corner, screwing the first tile directly into the ceiling
Nest the next tile into the flange of the one before it and screw it in
Repeat across the ceiling, working row by row
Finish with molding or border tiles for a seamless look

There’s no need to build a grid, remove texture, or hire a contractor. From cozy kitchens to statement dining rooms, SnapLock™ is the go-to solution for design-conscious homeowners who want a fast upgrade without the mess.
