Wrought Iron-Faux Tin Ceiling Tile - Antique Copper 25-Pack

This material is extremely easy to use and install. You can cut it with scissors or an straight edge knife. We applied glue around the perimeter and then dots in the middle. My husband left a small gap around the edge of the room and we put up crown molding. Everyone who comes in thinks it is painted stamped tin. Tv

Very easy to handle. Beautiful! Lightweight. I cut with scissors and did get a little crack here and there on the edges. But glued up nicely. Recommend using a paper cutter for a easier cutting, because this tile has raised designs.

Like many tile patterns, the repetition of it alters the look of a single tile. We use these on the ceiling of the back porches. Along with the wrought iron railing, it gets a New Orleans kind of look.

We loved the design, but the tiles were only available for a "glue up" ceiling style. So, what do we do? MODIFY! First I trimmed 1/8" off all the edges to reduce the tile from 24"x24" to 23.75"x23.75" (soooo much fun). Then I cut 1/2" foil-faced foam board (from a local home remodeling store) down to 23.75"x23.75" and glued the PVC tile to the foam board for stiffness so it doesn't sag in the middle. For the tiles around the edge of the room, I had to trim the tiles. The easiest way I found was to use an abrasive blade for masonry in a radial arm saw - it was like a hot knife thru butter! Clean, fast cut thru the raised surface. Using a utility knife will just leave you upset...trust me. Remember to trim the PVC tile for the opening in the grid, but cut the foam board about 1/2" extra wide on the cut side so it can rest on the grid ledge. (see pix) I also painted the extra 1/2" edge before gluing so it wouldn't be noticeable if my cut wasn't perfect. For cutting holes in the middle of the panels for the lights, I used a small abrasive wheel on a hand-held rotary tool. Trust me, blades will catch on the PVC and go in a direction you REALLY don't want them to go! And a saw blade will pretty much destroy the thin PVC tile.

Product is well manufactured. Installing on ceiling tomorrow. 4/5 stars because they sent the wrong tiles the first time and I had to return them.

Installing now in my very large, lime green kitchen with red island and antique white cabinets. I ordered silver. These are not high gloss. They are a soft, satin sheen. Looks great in coordination with my stainless steel appliances. Beautiful design. So far no damages or imperfections found with the tiles I have opened. They arrived well packaged in bubble wrap to prevent damage. Color is even throughout the tiles. These provide an antique Victorian Gothic type look to my kitchen which is what I was going for. They would also look great in a contemporary designed kitchen. I will likely use in a bathroom as well. I ordered the Instagrab blue the manufacturer recommended and found one tube of glue with do about six 2'x2' tile for a popcorn ceiling placement.

2 0f the 7 boxes of these tiles that I purchased are flat black unlike most of the tiles that are satin. They do not match and stick out like a sore thumb. Very poor manufacturing quality control. I will now have to paint the entire new ceiling so that it matches. Not happy...buyer beware!
