OUR FINISHES

Unfinished Steel

Unfinished Steel tiles highlight the authentic beauty of raw metal — ideal for customers who prefer to apply their own finish. This option allows for complete creative freedom, whether you choose to paint, seal, or age the metal for a vintage patina. To preserve the surface and prevent oxidation or rusting, Shanko recommends applying a clear polyurethane or high-quality metal paint after installation.

Clear Lacquer

Clear Lacquer tiles preserve the original luster of your tin ceiling while adding a layer of durable protection. The transparent coating seals the metal surface against moisture and wear without altering its natural color or sheen. This finish is perfect for those who love the pure metallic look but want the confidence of long-lasting protection against rust and tarnish.

POWDER COATED

Powder coating is the process of coating the tiles with a powder that is applied using electrostatic or compressed air. The tiles are then passed through an oven where the finish is "Baked On." This produces a smooth, durable finish that is extremely resistant to scratches, cracking, peeling, or rust. It is one of the most durable painting methods available.
