About Faux Tin Ceiling Tiles
Faux tin ceiling tiles are available in Styrofoam (foam) and PVC (plastic). These tiles are extruded or molded in a wide variety of patterns and styles then are painted or finished to mimic the look of tin. Faux tin ceiling tiles cost about $3.00 to almost $60.00 per tile. All the cost factors are discussed below. The average faux tin ceiling tile price is about $6.00 for foam and about $12.00 to $15.00 for plastic/PVC.
Styrofoam ceiling tiles are feather-light and can provide a very authentic appearance. These tiles should only be used on ceilings as they can be dented or scratched. Styrofoam tiles are sized at 20” x 20” (actually 19.5” or 19.6” square) and made to be mounted directly to the ceiling with an adhesive. They can be fragile, so handle with care.
PVC ceiling tiles are also lightweight but are more rigid and durable. These tiles can be used on walls and back splashes, as well as, on ceilings. PVC tiles are sized at 24” x 24” and can be dropped into standard suspended ceiling grids or applied to the ceiling with an adhesive, nails, or staples.
