the foam tiles you seem to apply with glue, i looked at these for my kitchen up in a-town, but at 550 a piece plus shipping, i just couldnt justify it when i have so much other stuff to do. if they do a free shipping on any amount of tile sale, then maybe if i have a bunch of other stuff done, i would think about doing it. they would look really good in your house Chuckie,

I did not but their product but something similar from Home Depot for one small room but I have not installed it yet. It is a press/foam board material with nice pattern on it and will look great in my low ceiling small room (better than antique tin).
I looked at fake tin ceiling and new reproduction tin ceiling for the other rooms. I purchased original antique tin ceiling for several reasons. I did not like the fake tin ceiling that was not made of tin because it looked fake (personal thing); new reproduction tin is very thin, looks very ‘new’ and cost per square foot is high but probably would be far less work and easier to install than original tin.
Antique tin ceiling is cheaper but much more work and not easy to find. It is heavy/thick material and not easily damaged like the very thin new repro tin ceiling. A lot more work is required for antique tin; cleaning and painting; repairing ‘dents’ from when it was removed from its original location; hard to cut and must me special nailed or screwed in place (not just glued). When installed it will have a few flaws in places and will look like real antique ceiling.
I think any way you go will look good. It boils down to your own personal taste of what you want that counts.
A new modern antique kitchen/room look – new reproduction tin or fake tin would be the way to go but for a more original “old looking” antique feel, go with the antique tin ceiling - if you want to do the extra work required. . Whatever you do – it will look great!
