And when the installation was done properly the results are visually and aesthetically rewarding.<br /><br />There's a company in Houston, Texas called the "Chelsea Decorative Metal Company."<br /><br />You'll be able to find its address and phone number further down in this report, but this firm sells at least 19 different styles of decorative metal plates measuring 2 feet by 4 feet.<br /><br />They also supply two different styles of molded filler (measuring either 3.5 inches by 48 inches or 4.5 inches by 48 inches) along with 11 different cornices with projections as small as 1.5 inches all the way up to 9.5 inches.<br /><br />If you are interested in learning more about the designs and to get a complete 12 step installation instruction hand-out get in touch with Glenn "The Tinman" Eldridge at Chelsea Decorative Metal Co., 8212 Braewick Drive, Houston, TX 77074.<br /><br />The phone number is (713)-721-9200 and fax: (713)-776-8661.<br /><br />You can also visit the website at the tin man dot com (www.thetinman.com).<br /><br />P.S. The materials that are used to install a pressed-tin ceiling can also be used to put up a kitchen or bathroom backsplash. There's an article that appeared in Workbench Magazine's March-May issue of 1996 authored by Larry F. Williams called: Kitchen Transformation--Put Up A Backsplash for a simple, subtle, cost-effective alternative to tile, try pressed tin." I'm sure that if you ask Chelsea Decorative Metal Co. they can get you a reprint. That article shows the 7 easy steps, along with photographs, to properly install a backsplash using pressed tin panels and moldings.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14938909-112266837242485411?l=rehab-do-it-yourself.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gerard LeBlondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02505860640139015202noreply@blogger.com5
