Ceiling, the overhead surface or surfaces covering a room, and the underside of a floor or a roof. Ceilings are often used to hide floor and roof construction. They have been favourite places for decoration from the earliest times: either by painting the flat surface, by emphasizing the structural members of roof or floor, or by treating it as a field for an overall pattern of relief.

Craftsmanship of what’s known as a dropped ceiling design dates deep into architectural history. Over time, ceilings were dropped for a variety of reasons, for form and function, to offer desirable acoustics, and of course, for decorative purposes. Decorative tiled ceiling designs date back to the early 1300s in Japan. While Roman ceilings brought some of the most artistically created ceiling designs we’ve ever known to light. Eventually northern Europe took to this trend, especially in France where Baroque coffered designs with ornate rosettes and intricately detailed crown molding took center stage among high-society. The history and vision of ceilings in Rome alone could honestly warrant their own topic that we could go on an on about.

Tin ceilings were introduced to North America as an affordable alternative to the exquisite plasterwork used in European homes. They gained popularity in the late 1800s as Americans sought sophisticated interior design. Durable, lightweight and fireproof, tin ceilings were appealing to home and business owners alike as a functionally attractive design element that was readily available.
