Selecting the right tiles can be tricky, so check out our tips below for adding ceiling tiles to your cottage.
Types of Ceiling Tiles
There are many kinds, and it is important to understand each when selecting your own. Decorative Ceiling Tiles offers, as their name implies, a variety of decorative tiles. Their main function is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space, versus acoustic tiles whose primary purpose is to enhance sound design. Decorative Ceiling Tiles offers a variety of materials—aluminum, real copper, PVC, Styrofoam, and real and faux. Each material is widely applicable, but there are some that are better suited for different environments. For example, PVC is best in damper areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms and even kitchens, while tin is a great choice for living rooms, bedrooms and even covered porches. Decorative Ceiling Tiles also has suspended tiles, good for basements or homes with higher ceilings and/or uneven surfaces, as well as traditional surface mount.
How to Choose
Now that you’re familiar with the different types of ceiling tiles, it is time to narrow your options. First, if you haven’t already, you’ll want to consider what kind of look and feel you’re going for. To do that, you can check out the quiz on each product page and the home page, or chat with a specialist at 866-297-0380. Next, you’ll want to consider what your ceiling is like, and get the right tile for the application. Decorative Ceiling Tiles offers glue-up, drop-in, and nail-up installation methods. Each have their pros and cons. Glue-up is great for DIY, but requires a flat, clean surface for it to stick properly. Drop-in is a great option for those wanting access to utilities above the ceiling, but reduces the overall ceiling height. Nail-up is good for uneven surfaces but can be difficult to remove. Last but not least, look at pricing and figure out what option works best for your budget. For example, you may want the look of copper, but if you aren’t able to afford real copper, you can opt for a faux metal tile.
