Ceiling Renovations
Home decorators, designers and remodelers all have one thing in common, to make the best of a house. Many will agree that its all in the details yet so many fail to consider one of the most prominent of attributes in a home or office. This common thing is the most widely disregarded aspect of any structure, the ceiling.
It wasn't always this way. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all decorated their ceilings with the best of craftsmen and artists. The most wealthy would represent their prosperity by their housing decorations. This is quite different in today's society primarily due to the way homes and businesses are built. 'Cookie-Cutter' housing developments with one or two designs to choose from clutter our suburbs and continue to grow throughout our country. Pre-formatted houses have options, molding, edging but what about the fifth wall? It's inevitable, it has to be there, so why settle with drywall?
Over one hundred years ago, the embossed metal panel was introduced to the United States. It was a response to tedious, expensive artisan plasterwork brought over by Venetian artisans. A not-so-practical application brought about technologies that spread from coast to coast in the new America. Factory manufacturing allowed for metal panels to be produced in a way that was practically made and installed in places like Victorian homes, Restaurants and Hotels. Stores that were part of larger buildings that contained housing above it utilized tin ceiling panels not just for added beauty and a historical attribute, but also to protect the apartments and living dwellings above from fires, a source of protection.
The 21st Century brings new technologies to this traditional product allowing for today's homeowner to be able to afford this for their home or business. Offered in a variety of designs, colors and installation methods, the tin ceiling is here to stay. Take a look up, then take a look at your options! The American Tin Ceiling Company is only a click away from transforming your fifth wall into something extraordinary!

Suspended Ceilings
A suspended ceiling is also referred to as a dropped ceiling or a drop-in ceiling. These ceilings are usually found in commercial spaces like casinos, hotels, restaurants and office spaces. It is a secondary ceiling used to hide unsightly piping, wiring or ductwork.
It consists of metal channel grid work (shown above) called a suspended grid or t-bar grid. Standard grid systems are 15"/16" and run horizontally and vertically forming squares along the ceiling area.
Tin ceiling panels sit nicely and beautifully within these grid systems, enhancing the look and feel of the space they are installed in. For those that are unfamiliar with the tin ceiling panel being an option, traditional acoustical tiles are used which have a much less aesthetic appeal.
