Faux Tin Ceiling Tiles vs Faux Tin Ceiling Wallpaper


by DoItYourself Staff

Faux tin ceiling tiles are an affordable option for people that are looking for a way to achieve an aged look in their homes. Faux tin tiles made out of wallpaper provide all the looks and appearance of real tin, without the price. These options are highly popular in older homes that are being renovated or decorated.

Faux Tin Ceiling Tiles

You can install faux tin ceiling tiles over your existing ceiling with ease. These tiles are available in numerous designs, textures and finishes. Some of these tiles are available painted. Others will need to be painted, before or after installation. You can either staple or glue the faux tin ceiling tiles on to the existing ceiling. Some tiles also have a tongue and groove technique that is very convenient. Faux tin ceiling tiles are quite durable and hardy, and may last longer than the wallpaper.

Faux Tin Ceiling Wallpaper

Similar to the faux tin tiles, the wallpaper tiles are also very easy to install. However, the requirement for a somewhat flat and smooth surface is more important when you are using wallpaper. You also have to cut the wallpaper in the required dimensions, whereas with the tiles you can just purchase the required number. Once the wallpaper is glued on to the ceiling and has cured properly, it must be painted to achieve the desired look.
