If you\u2019ve been browsing decorating magazines or websites like Houzz, you\u2019ve probably noticed a trend: metal ceiling tiles. Metal ceilings tiles can turn an ordinary ceiling into a work of art. The look is sharp and distinctive.<\/p>\n
When you think of a metal ceiling, you might picture an industrial space. But metal ceilings are highly versatile for the home because they can be used to create all sorts of looks. Go for a sleek and modern vibe, a rustic farmhouse aesthetic or the rich and expensive look of a high-class hotel.<\/p>\n
Metal ceiling tiles come in a variety of colors, from traditional metals like gold, silver and bronze to more muted whites, creams and browns. Some are distressed to create a historic feel, while others are sleek. The pattern possibilities are almost endless: geometric, antique, carved, recessed, scrolled, circular, floral and more. <\/p>\n
One of the most popular uses for decorative ceiling tiles is covering old and ugly popcorn ceilings. Popcorn ceilings have fallen (way) out of fashion, but at one point the texturing technique was used by almost every builder. That leaves a lot of people who own older homes with a choice: live with them or do something about it? <\/p>\n
\u201cPopcorn\u201d or \u201ccottage cheese\u201d texturing can be removed, but the process is messy, labor intensive and time consuming. If you\u2019re hiring a professional, the project could cost $400-$1,000 per room<\/strong>. If the ceiling contains asbestos, which is common in older homes, you could spend north of $3,000<\/strong> per room.<\/p>\n Covering the popcorn ceilings with decorative tiles is relatively quick and painless in comparison. Even if your ceiling contains asbestos, the asbestos does not need to be removed when the tiles are installed as long as it has not been disturbed. And in many cases, installing tiles is cheaper than removing the texturing.<\/p>\n
