Decorative Tin Ceilings
Our decorative tin ceilings feature authentic embossed designs dating back to 1896. Crafted from 30-gauge tin-free steel, these panels offer fireproof, moisture-resistant solutions for modern spaces. Available in 2x4, 2x8, and lay-in grid sizes, they combine historical craftsmanship with contemporary durability. Installation requires simple nailing to plywood substrates.
Custom Finishes
We provide hand-finished antique plating in brass, copper, and pewter, along with custom powder coating options. Our patina finishes create aged, distressed aesthetics while maintaining material integrity. Stainless steel panels are available for backsplash applications requiring modern durability.
Ceiling Layouts
Our team creates customized ceiling layouts based on project sketches. This service includes recommendations for field panels, filler panels, and moldings. The first layout is provided free of charge to ensure optimal material usage and design coherence for both residential and commercial spaces.

We offer exclusive benefits to trade professionals, including free samples, 10% discounts on non-custom orders over $500, and complimentary layout services. Verification through trade licenses ensures qualified professionals receive tailored support for large-scale projects.
