Installing a Tin Wainscoting Step By Step - Fastening

With the panels overlapping each other, apply fasteners every six inches around the perimeter of the panels. Here a brad gun is used, but manual nailing or screws can be used depending upon the substrate and/or preference. Nailing in at a 45 degree angle helps prevent nails from pulling out of the wall.

Why are Tin Ceilings so popular today?

Tin Ceilings remind us of a different time in our country's history. Tin Ceilings stir memories of gentler days when elegance and beauty reigned. A slower paced era where style and grace were the watchwords in home decor. Old time victorian homes, formal parlors, farmhouses with wood burning stoves and other historic architecture we've seen in literature and film or remember from our childhood.

It is said that "Everything Old Becomes New Again". It reinvents itself and becomes fashionable again, perhaps because it was so fashionable in the first place. Fashion goes in and out of style as modern ideas are introduced to the market. But the popular styling's of the past always cycle back into modern contemporary culture. The Tin Ceiling exemplifies this concept.
