American Tin Ceilings

What American Tin Ceilings does

American Tin Ceilings (legal entity: The American Tin Ceiling Co.) is a Bradenton/Palmetto, Florida-based manufacturer of decorative tin ceiling, wall, and backsplash panels, operating as a subsidiary of Renovation Brands. Founded in 2004 and self-described as the world's largest manufacturer and direct shipper of tin ceiling tiles, the company produces 24"x24" stamped panels from T1-grade tin-plated steel (0.010" thick) in 35+ patterns and 50+ colors across three finish tiers (Unfinished, Standard/Premium powder-coated, and hand-applied Artisan), with a Class A ASTM E84 fire rating. Its differentiated technology stack includes the patented Snap Lock interlocking tongue-and-groove system enabling direct-to-drywall installation without plywood substrate, micro-perforated acoustic panels achieving NRC 0.85 (certified by Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories), and electrostatic powder-coating baked at 400°F followed by optional hand-applied artisan distressing.

The company serves three primary customer segments: residential homeowners (kitchen backsplashes, ceiling upgrades, accent walls) purchasing through its Shopify e-commerce storefront with project calculators and free design consultations; commercial/hospitality clients (hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, sports venues) requiring fire-rated and acoustically performant decorative ceilings; and trade professionals (architects, interior designers, contractors) served through a dedicated Trade Pro Partner Program offering volume pricing, free samples, and spec documentation. Named enterprise installations span Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, Disneyland, Marriott, Starbucks, Intuit Dome, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Barclays Center, Gensler, and Google. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tile, molding, and accessory sales at unit prices ranging from $2.00/sq. ft. (raw tin) to premium Artisan tiers, with international orders handled by a dedicated sales desk shipping at $2–$6/tile worldwide.
