Tin Tiles and Plaster Ceilings

Pressed metal ceilings or tin ceilings were popular from the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century as an affordable alternative to expensive, artistic plaster. Tin-plated steel was pressed with embossed designs similar to the costly sculptured plaster, yet tin ceiling panels could be massed produced at a fraction of the cost. You can still get fabulous ornate designs in a tin tile, or if you really want to impress, see nationally recognized Joshua & Co. for simply incredible plaster-ceilings by true artisans.
