If anyone is looking for a inexpensive alternative to traditional tin ceiling tiles, I highly recommend that you read this thoroughly. PVC faux tin ceiling tile is an amazing alternative, in the sense that it is much more cost efficient especially in today’s economy as well as easy to install. If you can afford 50+ dollars per tile for actual copper then I guess this is not an issue for you. However for the masses that need to budget their income while having a beautiful home please read on. PVC tile is light in weight, which makes it possible for anyone to install. Not to mention it can be cut with scissors and put up with simple tile cement. The best part perhaps is that it can be glued right over old popcorn. Popcorn removal is a pain in the neck and the wallet. It can cost a couple hundred dollars to have it removed. Remember when you were a kid and your Mom made you clean up your room. Did you enjoy doing that or did you shove your clothes in the closet. Well consider the popcorn your clothes and the PVC tiles your closet. You may ask well what happens if we have a leak in the roof. You get it fixed first off and don’t worry about damaging the tile. It is completely water resistant and dust proof as well. If you have allergies this is the best material to use. Tin does collect dust. Tin like any other metal can also develop a bio film. Although it is unlikely to cause a major health problem such as endocarditis or cystic fibrosis I prefer to be safe than sorry. It is definitely going to make the air less pure and heighten allergy symptoms. Now that you know how easy and “healthy” PVC tile is, there are also many different styles to choose from. I have seen everything from antique copper to rosewood style. The best part of all is that you really can’t tell the difference between PVC and the actual material you are going for. When I say it fools the eye I mean it really fools the eye. As far as pricing goes it can range from as little as $5 a tile up to $10 dollars per tile. I assume it is relative to the design. I did my kitchen in an antique copper and my bathroom in a teak wood. Needless to say I am very pleased with the results. I hope this has given you some good information to make an informed decision.
