Here's some pictures from a couple installs.  I installed the tiles using ceiling-link.  They came out great and appear to be real wood once in place.  I also used the tiles on the underneath of the my soffits, using casing for the face trim.

My project turned out great. The tiles are very easy to work with. When people walk down into my basement they immediately comment on how great and unique the ceiling looks. I would definitely use this product again if I had a reason to.

We recently renovated our basement into a gathering room.  We needed a drop-ceiling in 1/2 of the room because of all the duct work & water pipes.  I really didn't want to go with the old, boring, chalky tiles, so I happened upon your website and decided to give your Stratford tiles a try.  I'm so glad I did !!  I love them !!  And the price was right too.  Our contractor said they were very easy to work with.  Everyone that has seen them loves them too.  It really gives the room a polished look.  I've attached a couple of photos of our "beach" room.  I give them 5 stars !!

It is great hearing from you and the Ceilume team.  In relation to the installation of our Ceilume tiles...where do I begin.  Your service since the moment we came across your company has been tremendous.  We started this process with samples being mailed out to our home.  After getting over the initial reaction of how light, simple and easy this product was we were convinced that the price was right to move forward.  Within about 10 days our entire shipment arrived.  I was able to enjoy time with my 5 young boys ( all under 12) installing the tiles in the grid as well as cutting out the can light holes.  This may have been one of the quickest, cleanest and easiest do-it-yourself jobs I have ever completed.  We were even able to frame in our retracting projector screen and projector for the home theatre.

Contractor enjoyed the ease of installation.  Am happy about ability to be able to clean if necessary.  Really opened up the room.  Will definately refer to others.

We LOVE our new ceiling! We have received so many compliments from guests. They all think it is real tin. The best part is that no one can tell that it is a drop ceiling because the decorate strips camouflage the usually obvious metal grid. The grid just magically disappears. The product quality is outstanding and was very easy to work with.  The customer service department at Better  Than Tin is fabulous. We called a few times with questions and they were incredibly helpful and pleasant. They also followed up with us after the installation to see how everything went. That gesture is the definition of excellent customer service!

My basement project is completed.  What started as a man cave turned into a very nice entertainment area.  The ceiling panels added a very nice element to both the TV room and workout area. 

Attached are the pictures of both completed rooms. 

Customer support was excellent.  The sample tiles were critical in going with Ceilume. 

Tiles worked beautifully and transformed a dismal, ordinary room. We chose to create a coffered ceiling that is really amazing. Following up with another email to tell you how pleased I am with the way the ceilume tiles worked for me.  The tiles truly appear to be as if they were cast plaster (the effect I had hoped for) and they serve to lighten up a dark room nicely.  The coffering was a challenge with each area needing to be adapted to the vagaries of a ceiling created in the 19th century, but it was certainly worth all the measuring, leveling, and finagling we needed to do. I'll be delighted to send photographs when I have returned home.

Love the ceiling, it upgraded the entire look of the room. It was extremely easy to install and even to cut with scissors.  Had a party last week and all of my friends could not get over how "rich" the ceiling looked.  They loved the fact that I just popped them in.  Have recommended them to a friend at work. The best part is they are flexible... my drop ceiling is only about 2 1/2 inches from the original ceiling and I could not use a regular Armstrong-type panel, because they are hard, do not flex, and there is not enough room to angle the panel to get it into the grid/square. I tried and hated them....they were plain and ugly and the ends chipped off while trying to get them into the ceiling grid (I think they were made of compressed paper) .  Also would have had to dispose of the old tiles... lots of trash in a landfill (and lots of extra work) - love the eco-friendliness of that!! It did not take long at all to install and I did it myself.  The room is approximately 13 1/2 x 24.  It is the best possible product I could have used (without paying someone $3000 to drywall the ceiling) and I did my homework on the internet!

We are incredibly pleased with our recent order.  We get a ton of compliments from our guests. 

You may laugh at how I constructed it and I should tell you it works perfectly.   I attached the ceiling with Velcro.  I glued one strip on the ceiling which is a metal overhang and then the opposite strip on the tile. Waited until all was dry and then popped them up.   I did that because if I ever get a water problem above I can always take the tile off and fix it. As you can see the room is a small DIY addition and leads onto a deck. The first picture was of the ceiling before it was tiled and it looks lush because the photo is a summer shot.  The other three is as it is now in the winter.So thank you for asking and I am recommending this product to whoever asks me and will not hesitate to use it again.

The installation of the ceiling went well. Utilized a total of 238 tiles, took about a 30 hr. total work effort between my wife and I to complete. Overall very satisfied and the ceiling looks great.

I was just reviewing old project info and realized I need to make good on my promise with the photo.  Please see attached.

Everyone was really impressed with ceiling.  We ended up doing some precision soffit framing to avoid cutting the tiles.

Thanks for your product making our work look good.

Hello, here are some pictures.  My wife and I love this product!!!!  It made the house.  Thanks again!

Well, I'm finally getting around to sending these in...

We installed the Jackson tile, finishing with your Evangeline border tile (which cut much nicer with a backwards 200 tooth plywood blade on a table saw).

Our Media room, rocks, lots of comments.

Thanks!

Our installation is a little unique, stapled/glued directly to the ceiling, cut exactly to the walls and then caulked at the wall. We also painted all of the background surface and left the raised in white.

Where the tiles meet, I routed a strip of wood to match the raised design on the tiles. I'll also be putting your tiles in my living area.

We recently installed one of your ceilings in a client's family room and the results are spectacular!

The tiles were copper leafed rather than painted, which makes a huge difference in the amount of glamor... See the results!

I'm sure you get beautiful photos all the time, but I'd like to add this photo of the installation we did.

The client is thrilled and we couldn't be more pleased.

We built a home on the Mississippi River and see barges, Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and other river traffic.  It seemed appropriate to use turn of the century décor for the location, so used the Medallion tile edged with Stratford.  I had too many Medallion and not enough Stratford to do the job. You exchanged the tiles with no questions asked.  We appreciated working with you. We found the price equivalent to inexpensive big box store low-end tiles, but Ceilume tiles looked like tiles twice the price at the big box stores.
