Our products are made from bright tinplate. This is T1 grate tin-plated steel and is 25% recycled steel with 100% virgin coating. The sizing of our material is 0.010” and the panels are 24” x 24”. All finishes are powder coated.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO SPECIFY YOUR MATERIAL REQUEST:
Installation Type:
Nail Up: Panels comes with a ¼’ overlapping seam and us used with wood substrates such as plywood, furring strips, joists, etc. For installation, it’s best to use 18-guage brad nails. You can then touch up the small holes with paint after.
Drop-In: Panels will fit the standard 24” x 24” suspended ceiling grid system that has 15/16” t-bar widths. The Drop-In panels come with a 1/8” edge that is embossed so it can sit right in the grid opening. If you’re working with a 24” x 48” grid, you can get one of our T-bar pieces to convert it over to the 24” x 24” grid.
For irregular rooms, break the whole area into sections to find the total number of panels needed.

Since the 1800’s tin ceiling tiles have been used for both their elegant look and their ability to function as a fire protectant. In many cases they would put tin ceilings in urban buildings that had businesses on the first floor and families living in apartments above the business. This was meant to stop the spread of fires into personal homes above and did actually prevent and deter a lot of fires from spreading which saved many lives.
Metals such as aluminum and steel are highly fire resistant and non-combustible. In fact, metal tin tiles are fire rated at over one-hour. They will eventually loose their integrity after being exposed to extreme heat for long periods of time, but our tiles that are made from T1 grate tin plated steel are very thick and will last longer under extreme conditions than most because they are 0.010 thick and are ASTM E 84-03b rated. Our products have been tested up to 1000°F and still passed. And this isn’t new testing. Since the early 1900’s they’ve performed heat tests with propane torches to ensure the tin tiles can withstand extreme heat and still stay intact.
The bottom line is this: When you’re considering tiles for your ceiling. Whether it be a place of business or your home, you should seriously consider upgrading from plastic to tin. Plastic melts in approximately 5 minutes. Tin can last for over an hour. Over 2,500 people were killed in residential fires last year, and we want to decrease that number going forward by providing the safest products on the market.
