We are restoring a ca. 1902 home in Oklahoma. This home was built by a founding father of the town, and a man considered a "Pioneer of the Chisholm Trail". We are trying to go with techniques that are appropriate to the time period of the house's build date. We decided to go with a "flashed copper" ceiling tile effect in the living room, but could not afford to go with the "real deal". We have purchased the R10 ceiling tile and are applying a faux finish painting technique to get the appearance we want. The paint system we are using is the Sherwin Williams Illusions Metallic paints. The tiles are being painted with 2 coats of the Copper (uncut) and then one coat of the Silver (uncut) to achieve a "flashed copper" look. We are tremendously happy with the results and how easily your product installs. I just had my 79 year old mother come over and see what I have installed so far and she started tearing up over it! She thought they were real copper tiles! She couldn't believe it when I told her they were polystyrene, I had to go get an unpainted tile and prove it to her!
