Beautiful accents have added depth and uniqueness, not to mention,
increased value to homes for thousands of years. With the advent
of many different materials, accents have become much more affordable
and durable. One such material is metal. Regarding ceilings, you
can transfer a white ceiling into anything you want and different
metals are used, such as copper, chrome and brass to give your ceiling
the antique look of yesteryear. Now, you can step back into the past,
with antique tin ceilings, which have become more popular, since
the look reflects stylishness and high-tech.
Experts agree the ceiling is the easiest place to decorate because
there are no obstacles, such as furniture pieces to consider and
decorating a ceiling can significantly change the ambience of the
room.
Antique tin ceilings have many advantages over plaster ceilings,
as they are easier to install, more durable than plaster, easier
to ship and resists moisture and mildew, therefore increasing the
life of the ceiling. They also don’t peel or chip, because
of metal’s durability. For example, after the peak of the tin
ceiling trend of the 1890’s, later generations covered the
ornamentation with drywall or drop-ceiling acoustics tiles. When
renovation began to restore homeowner’s previous look, experts
found preserved tin.
Michelangelo’s The Sistine Chapel ceiling is just one example
of a picturesque look that has been copied with many other antique
buildings. Antique tin ceilings have panels that are pressed with
a 100-year-old mammoth press and are nailed into wood, with cone-head
nails matching the tiles.
There are many antique tin ceiling styles stamped with several different
styles to fit your home’s décor. Put in a kitchen, library
or master bedroom for a truly unique, striking look.
