tin ceiling

21 years ago

Does anyone know any sources for INEXPENSIVE tin or sheet metal to create a tin ceiling? The gorgeous squares that are pressed tin are VERY EXPENSIVE. We thought maybe we could get a tin-ceiling look (It would be on a very high sloped ceiling in a game room)with some type of sheeting rather than squares that would take forever to install.

There is a type of thick, embossed wallpaper that looks much like old stamped tin if you paint it correctly.
