Tin ceiling tiles and moldings have been around for more than one hundred years. They are lightweight, easy to install, and can be painted to look like plaster. They provide a rich, ornate, and classic look. Because they are mass produced, they are also inexpensive. There is no less costly way to have such a dramatic ceiling.

There are more benefits to tin tiles and moldings than just the cost and ease of installation. Thery are highly resistant to moisture and molds. The tin also works well to absorb sound. It is easy to clean using common mild detergents, and it is even a barrier to fire. As an added bonus, it can easily be replaced.

Tin ceilings and moldings are easily installed. The tiles usually come in two-foot squares, and the moldings in four foot lengths. They can be glued or nailed to an unfinished or flawed ceiling. No texturing, painting or sanding is required. They come in a number of colors and designs, and can be purchased at any number of types of stores, including home improvement, specialty ceiling retail outlets, and finishing work supply stores.

Today’s tin panels and moldings are not made from solid tin. They are tin plated steel or aluminum, and can be found in as many as sixty-five different colors, as well as metallic copper, pewter, silver, gold, brass and chrome. They are available in gloss, satin, matte, and textured finishes. These moldings and panels have a powder coat finish that prevents them from fading and discoloring. It also protects them from humidity, mold, and rust. There are literally thousands of design options. You will be able to customize your ceiling with ease.

Ceiling tin moldings come in four-foot sections, with either straight edges or mitred for corners. You can get cornice molding or flat molding. Sometimes called crown molding, the cornice molding creates a fine finished look by covering the seams where the walls meet the ceiling. Without these moldings you will see all seams and edges, and also allow moisture (and therefore molds) to find their way under the tin.

The tin crown moldings have flanges running along them which makes them impossible to use on flat walls. This allows them to make the transition from the ninety degree angle formed by wall to ceiling smoothly. The flat moldings are used on the ceiling to edge the panels and design and frame sections. Moldings come in .010 tin plated steel, and are available in all the same colors as the tin ceiling tiles.

The tin ceiling tiles can cost you anywhere from $13-$20 per panel, depending on the number you are buying and the finish that you choose. The tin cornice and flat moldings run from around $7-$18, dependent on the same factors. A twelve-foot square ceiling, including shipping and extra tiles for mistakes, should run about $500.

Tin tile ceiling accessories can give a finished look to your investment and add decorative touches that give it a regal feel. By adding cornice or moldings around the edges of these tiles, the edges look finished with a decorative touch.

You can get a border of girder nosing that is as small as an inch and a half, all the way up to elaborate decorative cornice that is nine and half inches wide. They come in a variety of finishes, such as brass, copper, white, chrome and stainless steel, and patterns that are traditional and modern.

Tin moulding strips to match your tiles can be used to cover where two tin patterns meet. They are usually used between the main ceiling panels and the border or cornice you choose.

Once you have installed your cornice or molding, you have a wide selection of cornice mitre boxes, leaves, ribbons and rosettes you can select from. They are installed to hide the rough areas where the mitred cornices meet in the corners or around the room. These accessories adds a fancy, elaborate and decorative factor to the room and come in finishes to match your cornice or molding.

You can also buy tin ceiling panels that give you a filler panel with a molded trim patterned into the actual panel. But buying a distinctive cornice to compliment the transition of the wall to the ceiling, is the option chosen by many for a customized look that makes a dramatic statement.

Filler panels are tin tile ceiling accessories that are used for those odd gaps left around the edges of a room where a full tile panel won’t fit. Many people will center the tiles to leave a hammered finish filler panel border around the edges of the ceiling itself. It makes a nice framework for the tiles, and can be cut to size using tin snips.

Cone-head nails are rounded headed nails that give a stability and additional beauty to the tin tiles. Typically 1 " in length, in finishes such as chrome plated, copper, brass and pre-painted white, they are a functional accent, and a way to add another color to the ceiling tiles, although they are made to blend into the pattern of the ceiling tiles, when in the same finish.

Many places sell tin ceiling tile sample kits ( follow this article to find these ) under the tin tile ceiling accessories section. These sample kits are a great way to decide what tin tile ceiling finish you want before making a major investment. They will normally consist of brass, chrome, copper, pre-painted white and unfinished steel in different patterns.

Once you have selected and installed your ceiling tin tiles, you need to look at the different accessories, such as conehead nails, cornices, and mitered decorations, to give your room a look of distinction and flawless perfection.

They are often made in to single panels that can be placed on a ready laid ceiling wherever you like to simply add an aesthetically pleasing look to your ceiling.

The panels are often very intricate in design and often given a 3D effect. Of course there are many different types for many different purposes like ones specifically designed for bathrooms (these are specifically produced not to support bacterial growth or mould growth.

The types of panels I were referring to above are ones your will find around large spectacular building like manors and mansions, they date back to Victorian times when they were first produced. Today’s ceiling panels keep with the Victorian theme and add a lot of character to any building they are placed in (they give the space a period feel).

To make them as intricate as they do and stand out in a 3Dimensional manor a mould must first be manufactured. Before the mould can be made a diagram of how you want it to look must first be produced, there are a lot of companies that offer decorative ceiling panels and can often create a mould from simply looking at a picture. Once the mould has been made the process to make the ceiling panel can commence.

The end result can be stunning and can significantly change the feel of any space they are placed.
