Tin Ceilings by the Tin Man is the Tin Ceiling Company with a Heart.

Tin ceiling(s) are our Life and Only Business. (We are a) Manufacturer and Supplier of Tin Ceilings. Chelsea Decorative Metal Company is a family owned business now owned by Glenn "The Tin Man" Eldridge. His father Teddy, sold tin ceilings, as well as installed tin ceilings in New York City. Glenn worked at Yankee Stadium as a vender, but it was after going to the Woodstock Festival (1969) that Glenn joined his father and began installing tin ceilings. Today, he is one of the few people that not only manufactures tin ceilings, but has also been an installer of tin ceilings. By the way Glenn named his dog Rin Tin Tin.

Chelsea's tin ceilings are used both residentially and commercially. Commercially they are used in restaurants, office buildings, bars and night clubs, retail stores, churches and movie sets. (You can see the tin ceilings in "Coyote Ugly" and "Spiderman". Many TV shows use the tin ceiling material for background to their sets.) Residentially they can be used in every room, adding elegance to the dining rooms, fun to the playrooms and just plain adds nostalgia to any room. Kitchens are the most popular room for tin ceilings. The tin ceiling sheets can also be used on walls as a back splash, a wainscoting and (people even use the tin ceiling sheets for) wall hangings. The tin sheets mostly come in 2 ft. X 4 ft. sheets. Some tin sheets come in 2 ft. X 2 ft. sheets. Either size makes it easily to install. The tin ceilings are so popular that they are even used (as suspended (tin) ceilings or drop (tin) ceilings. The Tin Man's sheets are ORIGINAL DESIGNS, that date back (to) the 1800's. (The tin ceilings were used an an alternative to the decorative plaster of the time.) The tin sheets come in a shiny silver tin finish, which can be paint directly to with an oil-based paint. You can also paint the metal sheets gold or copper for a brilliant metallic look. (Note: We now have the tin ceiling sheets in a beautiful copper finish.)

(All the tin ceiling sheets are) made of Tin-plated steel which is excellent for paint retention or you can see our (Decorative Hand Painted (Faux) Finshes at http://www.thetinman.com/finishes_faux.htm.
