If you choose not to cover your ceiling as recommended, we suggest applying adhesive to the back side of the tile during installation to provide additional holding strength.

A:  Hello Judy, You may be able to install these over popcorn ceiling but for the best install I would have it removed first. A flat surface makes it much easier to align and install the tiles. Also if you intend to use a combination of nails and adhesive you will have a much better bonding surface. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

A:  Yes, it can be installed directly over a popcorn ceiling.

A:  The clear coat makes the tile resistant to rust. It has a glossy finish, but retains the natural tin color. The manufacturer probably has a recommendation for painting them, perhaps the matte finish.

A:  Thank you for your interest in our Hamilton Nail-up Tin Ceiling Tile in Clear. We recommend using standard mild soap and water should be used to clean the tiles. Standard cleaning shouldn't wear the tiles over time, as they are manufactured with a powder paint finish. However, since they are a real tin product over an extended period of time the finish may be affected if too much water exposure or cleaning agents are used. If you have additional installation questions please feel free to reach out to our customer care team at 800.434.3750. Thanks again!

A:  Thank you for your great question! Yes, our Hamilton Nail-up Tin Ceiling Tile in Penny Vein. We do recommend being cautious with installing these panels in a bathroom.
