How to Dress Up Your Ceiling with Decorative Tiles

Sometimes referred to as the fifth wall, the ceiling is often the most neglected design space in the home. Cover a plain white ceiling with a patterned panel and it instantly becomes an eye-catching feature.

Ceiling tiles made of tin have graced businesses and homes for generations. Tin ceiling tiles are still popular today as well as panels made of vinyl and other materials. Van Dyke’s offers Shanker Original Design Ceiling Tiles in an array of styles. Ceiling tins add a dramatic flair to any room. They are also used to hide ceiling faults and are excellent for fire retention. Ceiling tiles will resist moisture and mildew and will not crack, peel or warp. They can also be used for decorative kitchen backsplashes.

Vinyl decorative ceiling tiles also are available in classic designs and offer several advantages over tin tiles. Installation requires no special tools, no special skills, and no sheet metal cuts. They will not dent or tarnish and give the appearance of pressed metal or tin plates at a fraction of the cost. They can be installed as a glue-up, nail-up, or drop-in.

Van Dyke’s also offers steel cornices, ceiling grid tape, cone head nails, ceiling grid covers, decorative strips, and more installation accessories.

Lighting Ceiling Medallions are another great way to add a design element to your ceiling. Prefinished ceiling medallions are beautifully detailed and are offered in many styles and colors. Van Dyke’s also has a number of styles of unfinished vinyl medallions in various patterns and sizes ready to prime and paint.
