Ceiling Tiles The look: Stamped steel came into fashion when Victorian homeowners used panels as a less expensive way to mimic decorative plaster (itself a less expensive way to get the look of carved wood or stone) while providing some fire protection. It's an example of the age-old practice of replicating vintage charm with newfangled materials. The shortcut: PVC and foam tiles express all the embossed detail of metal but can be trimmed with a utility knife and stuck to the ceiling with adhesive. Which is to say, the work goes much faster than using metal snips and nails. www.decorativeceilingtiles.net
