Since 1958, the owner's 47-year design and installation experience covers nearly fifty years of history. In 1950's, 12 inch or 12"x24" Celotex fiberboard tile was stapled/glued to existing ceiling, which did not hide anything.

The 1960's brought in the T-Bar grid system to drop ceilings below pipes, etc. and allow access to utilities above. Until now, tin or custom-fit hand-crafted wooden coffered ceilings still had to be nailed to wood covered ceilings. Now an installed standard 15/16 inch 2'x2' T-Bar metal grid system can convert your rooms to the style of 19th Century traditional tin or wood coffers.



In the ceiling to the left, click the picture for a larger view, T-bar grid and wall molding are covered with hard wood, then removable, lay-in wood coffers are fitted into the wooden grid. The height of the coffer recess is 3 inches.


Recently patented, manufactured wood ceilings are here now. Labor cost, cut approximately 70%, off hand-crafted custom wood ceilings and also utilizes wasted board as it re-faces the metal grid system. Wooden ceilings now meet modern needs by hiding heat ducts or pipes, while allowing access to anything above the ceiling. Nearly undetectable wooden ventilation panels cover speakers, etc.
European plaster ceiling designs were copied into tin ceilings of the 1800's. Tin is available, but now can be reproduced in polymer.

The ceiling in the portico below, outside 5 years, has not been repainted yet. These Polymer panels and decorative strips were glued and nailed to wood.

Pictured to the left is an existing skylight framed in wood. The skylight is at the original ceiling height.
Combining panels of recessed-coffered wood and white panels of molded Polymer shows materials can be interchanged for design. Note, any vault or drop that can be formed with grid can now have beautiful wood, tin or polymer panels or any combination.
