Faux Tin Wall Panel Installation at Decorative Ceiling Tiles

Описание: http://www.decorativeceilingtiles.net - If you’re one of those people who enjoy bragging to friends and family about the specialty contractor you hired for your home improvement job and the old-world craftsmanship the project required, you may be disappointed with Decorative Ceiling Tiles’ many styles of wall panels. They can be installed with nails or glue, and if you can use a hammer, tin snips, and scissors, you can quickly place the panels on just about any wall. Of course, if you do it late at night when no one is watching, you can still brag about the special experts brought in to install your decorative wall panels!

Glue-up panels can be attached to most wall surfaces that are stable without much preparation work required. The wall should be cleaned of any debris, and if there is any loose plaster or drywall, it should be scraped away. The panel styles vary from 24-inch to 15-inch squares depending on the style you choose, and it’s always a good idea to do a little layout work on the wall prior to actually gluing any panels in place.

In most cases, it’s best to work toward corners so any partial pieces of panel required are away from the central part of the room. You may want to start with a full panel at the top of the wall and end up with a partial piece at the bottom, where it may be hidden by furniture, but this is largely personal preference. A partial panel at the top with metal or wood trim where the wall meets the ceiling can look very nice, too.

Nail-up panels are installed in much the same fashion as the glue-up varieties, but in most situations, you’ll need to put a suitable nailing surface in place first. Sheetrock, plaster, and most quarter-inch plywood paneling are usually not sufficient to hold nails in place, and with most interior framing being 16 or 24 inch on center, there needs to be a more secure nailing anchor installed. Plywood sheets ranging from 3/8- to 5/8-inch thick often work best and are normally light enough that one person can work with them without much effort.

While installing the panels is very easy, it never hurts to have a little additional assistance. Decorative Ceiling Tiles provides numerous helpful installation tips for all of our ceiling tiles and wall panels on our website as well as all of the options you will need to shop for your tiles.

The most difficult part of using decorative wall panels in your home might be deciding which type and style is right for your home. Fortunately, Decorative Ceiling Tiles provides the opportunity to order samples, and in some cases, we have sample packets available that provide a mixture of various styles. Even if you’re reasonably sure of what style and color you want, it’s always a good idea to order a few samples first, even for a commercial setting like an office. Decorative panels are like many man-made building products in that colors and shading can vary slightly from the photos on Web pages and even the samples you may see in stores.
