Variety

Shanko ceiling tiles come in easy to install 2’x2’ sheets with over 47 distinctive motifs, repeating in 3”, 6” and 12” patterns as well as 24” full tile designs. Our wide selection of cornices come in 48” lengths and range in projection size from 1½” to 15 5/8” to complete your look. Shanko also carries accessories (face plates, conehead nails, and hold-down clips) to complete your project.

Tin ceilings were traditionally painted white to give the appearance of hand-carved or molded plaster. Today, tin ceiling tiles are also used for accent walls, wainscoting, backsplashes and other design accents. Every Shanko tile and cornice is available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, including powder coated Solids, hand-painted Vintage colors, Antique finishes and Shanko Exclusive Woodgrain finishes.

Onsite Powder Coating

Shanko has its own state-of-the-art powder coating facility onsite! This process uses static electricity to adhere powdered pigment to the tiles, which are then cured in our ovens. All tiles are available in a range of RAL colors, and can be color-matched to Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams palette. Cornices, Drop-grids and accessories can be powder coated to match your tiles.Powder Coating video >>
