So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Why You Should Choose Tin Tile Ceilings

By Grant Webb

These brand new tin tile ceiling and wall products are easily the most beneficial product of their kind. They have so many benefits and advantages that just keep delivering over and over again.

Tin tile products are waterproof, dust proof, are not edible for rodents; they do not crack, shift, shrink, warp, fall off, or peel. All of these defects are present in wood and drywall. During a fire wood and other conventional ceiling and wall types act as accelerants and can actually increase the amount of damaged caused by a fire while tile products do not. Regardless of it being pre-treated or not, wood eventually gives way to water and moisture. When this happens, wood warps, cracks, molds, weakens, loses its original color, and no longer carriers the visual and structural characteristics in which you purchased it for.

Dont get me wrong, plaster wood, and drywall all look nice in their applications but do not provide the beauty and protection like that of tin tile ceiling and wall products. In fact, if you were going to grade all of these products based on there ability to stand up to fires, drywall would easily be the worst, wood would come in at a close second, and tin tile products come in first place because they stand up so well to fires.

Tin tile products are a homeowners dream in that they are resistant to your everyday encounters of water, dirt, dust, rodents etc. For these reasons, tin tile ceilings have climbed to the top of the popularity charts of homeowners. Tin tile ceilings answer the call for a decorative while durable finish that looks great in all residential homes and commercial properties. Because they are so flexible in where they can be applied, the possibilities are endless.

The production of tin tile products really began to take off when engineers and architects began to realize how rapidly their popularity grew. Regular homeowners quickly fell in love with their great look, ease of installation, and unique appeal. I do believe the as time goes on, we will see more and more tin tile ceiling and wall products installed instead instead of the older more boring plaster, wood, and drywall.

Under the supervision of the Fire Underwriters, The Columbia University Fire Testing Station held and completed a very successful test proving the superiority of a tin tile ceiling compared to that of wood, plaster, and drywall. On November 11, 1914, a structure was set fire to show the effects of fire on wood, plaster, and drywall. During the duration of the test, the tin tile ceiling resisted or acted as a retardant to the 1,369 (F) fire for more than an hour while the wood and plaster structures collapsed and fell in less than 13 minutes after the fire was started. The plaster and drywall failed and was destroyed at only 849 (F). This test concluded that tin tile ceilings are not only much more durable and fire resistant than conventional ceiling types, they would remain in tact or in very similar shape for much longer than wood, plaster, and or drywall.
