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 while others will need to be painted either before or after installation. You can either staple or glue the faux tin ceiling tiles onto 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. As such, they may last longer than the wallpaper.

Faux Tin Ceiling Wallpaper

Faux tin textured wallpaper tiles are also very easy to install; however, it is much more important for the surface to be covered to be perfectly flat to receive the wallpaper. You also have to cut the wallpaper in the required dimensions, whereas with the tiles you can just purchase the required amount. Once the wallpaper is glued onto the ceiling and has cured properly, it must be painted over to achieve the desired look.
