Tin ceilings were first created in the mid nineteenth century, using different metal materials to line the top of the room. Tin Ceilings are made up of many different tiles nailed or screwed together. Manufacturers found an easy non-intrusive way of lining ceilings. The metal traveled, light in a large sheet, and was cut on premises. During the nineteenth century the goal of America was fast production, which was found in the transportation of metal.
Once the material was received it was laid out and stamped into numerous designs. Brass, steal, tin, and copper were popular among hotel, home and saloon owners in the nineteenth century. Tin Ceiling tiles are basic to install, using nails and screws or the drop in method.
The metal sheets are cut into two different sizes, depending upon the buyer’s request. A 2’ by 2’ tile and a 2’ by 4’ tile can be cut and then pressed. The 2’ by 4’ tiles are more commonly used in commercial buildings and are easier to install by way of the drop method.
