You can choose unfinished tin panels that are made with bright tin plated steel stamped panels, not the economy tin or lightweight grayish aluminum you may see advertised elsewhere. Tin ceiling tile comes in many patterns and colors as well varied types as well. You can choose from styles such as Nailups, Dropins, and Snaplock as well as all moldings. Many people decide to finish their tin ceiling tile themselves by paining or applying a clear polyurethane coating to them. You may decide this option works for you.
With a Snaplock tin ceiling tile, you can anchor it directly into a drywall ceiling with six drywall screws. You can apply this method to plaster ceilings too, but you will want to use metal plaster screws instead of drywall screws.
Tin ceiling tiles can be used in a kitchen for a backsplash. This is becoming quite popular in home décor. The 6†pattern is most often used for a backsplash, but a 12†pattern may be used as well. The Nailup panel is the appropriate product to use, the Snaplock is not intended for this purpose.
