Samples of panels supplied by Heritage Tin Ceilings

 

Excellent Step-By-Step Photographs

Photographs kindly supplied by Paul Stewart of Secane, Pennsylvania, USA

Paul Stewart kindly took several photographs throughout the construction of his ceiling.

The following panels were used:  Bluebells for the central panelling, Stockholm for the border/filler area and Celtic cornice

 

The first job should be nailing up builders ply to create a nice flat base to work upon. The central panels are fixed first, then the inside edge of the moulding strip. The cornice follows. Next job will be to measure and cut the Border/Filler Strip. The neat "factory cut" edge of the Border Panel will be placed alongside the cornice, covering up the flat flange which runs the length of the cornice. The other border edge, which will be cut to size, should slip easily underneath the Moulding Strip. When finished there should be no rough edges visible on the Border/Filler.
 
The cornice needs to be mitred as neatly as possible. Mitre Leaves or Mitre Ribbons are supplied to hide the angled joins but it is still essential to minimize the gap in this area as much as possible.
 
Notice the large tacking nails, lack of Rosettes and corner Mitre Ribbons which are added
further along in the project.
The Mitre Ribbon has now been added.
 
The Rosettes have been attached where the Moulding Strips meet.   Voila - the finished project !
