Giving your kitchen cozier look (with Antique Copper Tin look ceiling tiles)
By faustHello everyone,
Just wanted to share with you the details of one of our latest projects. We installed PVC glue on ceiling tile in the kitchen ceilings.
-
First - we snapped a chalk line through the main focal point in that room - light fixture.
-
Then we applied a glue (Contact Cement) to the ceilings along this line with a foam roller
-
Glue was applied to the back of the tile (it is a good idea to apply glue to three-four tiles at once)
-
First tile was applied the way that one of its corners "touched" the light fixture. Then we continued the first row. It is very important to make the first row nice and straight.
-
Then we worked our way to the sides. Last thing was to install matching moldings. We choose Antique Copper cove molding (3/4")
* For 350 sq.ft. room we used little less than 1 gallon of Contact Cement (from Home Depot)
* It is very easy to cut those tiles with scissors or utility knife.
* The whole job was completed within 7 hours.

To Joan,
The thin sheetrock will be the best (I think the thinnest one you can find in HomeDepot/Lowes is 3/16"). You don't have to sand the joints, they will be covered by the tiles.
Good Luck!
Joan
I have a plaster ceiling and is having to be replaced. Would you recommend to put up plywood then the tiles? or Sheetrock?

Feel your pain :-)
This is my favorite comment - "Where were you last week/month/year - we just finished our ceilings" :-)

Where were these things when we installed a real tin ceiling in a neighbors' home?
It took for-ev-ver. Every single tile had to be cut with tin snips as none were square. It took more than a week to complete.
Yours looks just as good.
