Choosing a ceiling tile for your new bar or pub is probably one of the last items that is on your mind when opening a new business. Fortunately, there are many options available now in faux tin ceiling tiles that will make your decision easier, and make a huge visual impact on your customers. There really is nothing worse than looking up in your favorite bar and finding those smokey, drab, water stained drop in styrofoam ceiling tiles.

Easy Installation

Drop in styrofoam ceiling tiles have been the go-to choice for restaurant and bar owners because the installation is so simple. You install the grid and the ceiling tiles pop right in. Faux tin ceiling tiles work exactly the same so there is no gluing or nailing. …continue reading Advantages of Using Faux Tin Ceiling Tiles in a Bar or Pub

I’m not sure if this tin ceiling is an original at the Lester Public Library or if they installed it recently, but I love the color! This really shows you how you can personalize tin tiles in a commercial space, or even in your own home.

Not sure I like the track lighting, but at least you can see what it would look like in your space. Maybe if it was painted the same red so the tracks blended into the tiles I would like it more. Great use of a tin border and cornice though that really give the ceiling a finished look.

You had me at chocolate! I had no idea such a store existed, but I’m glad it’s nowhere near me, because bread and chocolate? Hello Heaven!

But let’s leave the food for just a second and take a look at the beautiful tin ceiling tiles the store owners have chosen. I love a traditional white ceiling tile, it’s just so calming, and a perfect match to the walls and display cases.

You can get a similar look in your commercial store front with the Romanesque Tin Ceiling with a finish of your choice.

I love the color combination the Jave ++ Coffeehouse at RPI chose to compliment their commercial tin ceiling. The deep plum really accents the tin squares in a modern way without feeling sterile. The yellow lights are a great choice too, reminds me of my favorite flower combination in my garden.

I love that they chose to install the lights in opposing directions as well, it’s unexpected but doesn’t really stand out right away, just a little design element you notice after you’ve been staring at the ceiling for awhile. (Everyone stares  at ceilings as much as I do right?)

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of favor lately, so removing popcorn is on a lot of peoples minds. The ironic thing is that popcorn ceilings were chosen by builders and remodelers often simply to cover up cosmetic problems in a ceiling. Of course the biggest problem encountered with popcorn ceiling removal is that it’s almost impossible to get a smooth ceiling after all of the scraping needed to complete the project. Another big problem is that if your home was built prior to the 80′s the popcorn could contain asbestos, a cancer causing agent. So, let’s discuss how to remove your popcorn ceiling, and an alternative to cover popcorn ceilings. …continue reading Removing Popcorn Ceiling
