Pressed Metal Interiors for Residential and Commercial Fitouts

 

Pressed metal panels are also called tin ceilings, art metal ceilings, tin tiles, ceiling tin or faux tin ceilings.

These words are used interchangeably on this website.  Believe it or not, Australian pressed metal  panels are not even made from tin!  We now use a far better product - an aluminium alloy.

Dies from as much as 100+ years ago have been re-created and we are now able, once again, to enjoy the decorative ceilings and walls from yesteryear but with added advantages.

These beautifully crafted panels are being cleverly utilized in both the home situation and in a wide variety of contemporary commercial fit outs

   

Depending on the design chosen and the way in which the panels are painted you can achieve a very formal look or a comfy, cosy cottage effect.  When two identical patterns are painted in very different ways they then become barely recognizable as the same product. Our metal products are now being found in restaurants, night clubs, mansions, shops, private residences and even the main Sydney railway station ticketing office. Their use is only limited by the imagination.

Feel welcome to ask us how to achieve the look that you want in your project.  We can help you with both designs and calculations.  Personal client contact is what our business is famous for.

Learn why our pressed metal ceilings are far superior to similar looking products:

*Durability

Our pressed metal is made from durable aluminium which moves and flexes with the structure making it ideal for cyclone/tornado areas. The panels won't rust, crack or fall off and they resist moisture and odours. This makes their life-span virtually unlimited. The panels are made to lap over each other, many having flanges to assist overlocking.  This creates a seamless join.

*Designs/Patterns

We offer a stunning range of historically correct metal interiors to suit Victorian, Federation, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and contemporary styles. Especially beautiful are the floral designs. Take a look at the pressed tin  patterns where you will find so many uniquely Australian designs. 
 

New and old  pressed metal ceilings match seamlessly.

Our new sheet of Acorns panelling (in the centre of the photograph) exactly matches the pattern on this 90 year old ceiling. The adjoining old sheet (at the top of the photograph) has been treated for rust. When painted, the old and new panels will be indistinguishable.

*Panel weights and dimensions

The aluminium alloy used to make the panels is very strong, yet extremely lightweight. The panels are large - usually 1800 mm x 600 mm or 1800 mm x 900 mm (6' x 2' or 6' x 3') so a large area can be fitted relatively quickly. The following link lists the sizes of the various panels available pressed metal sizes.

*Value

Our metal panelling will add more value to your property than it costs. It becomes a work of art and as such it adds a luxurious quality to any decor.

Pressed metal wall panelling

You can find a special range of pressed metal suitable for walls. The designs featured in our tin tiles for walls range are one-way designs suited for vertical surfaces. Additionally, many of the ceiling patterns are also suited to wall application.

Metal panelling be used to cover the walls from floor to ceiling but it can also be used to great effect just on the lower parts of the walls - just up to Dado height. Many of our designs are 900 mm (3') high and these are especially suited for lower wall application.

The wall panels traditionally sit on top of skirting boards and are finished with a nice timber trim across the top.  Alternatively, we have a wall frieze which is intended for this purpose.

 

Painting your metal ceilings

Most clients choose to paint their metal ceilings themselves in one tone or they clear coat them to retain the shiny metal appearance which is proving so popular in modern fit outs.. The patterns are pressed deeply into the panels so both natural or electric light create lovely shadows on the designs.  If you are painting your ceilings  we suggest you use an oil based paint.

"I got the package on Saturday. It all looks good! After looking at it on the site and seeing it in real life, it's just larger than life! I can't believe how detailed everything is. It hasn't been installed yet, we're still kicking around colors. I can't wait to see it from the ground looking up!"   Paul Stewart, Secane, PA, USA.
 

"The ceiling panels arrived late last week very well packaged and in excellent condition. I absolutely love the patterns - they are beautiful. I am currently painting them before installation and I am even enjoying the job because I get to look at the patterns as I work.
