Step 1
Measure the ceiling to know how much tin ceiling you will need to purchase. For large size projects, wholesale purchases may be made by a business or governmental organization when appropriate. Wholesale costs are lower than retail costs, but most of the time purchasing in a large amount of tin ceilings is necessary.

Step 2
Determine the style of tin ceiling you are interested in. One of the key differences besides the pattern on the tin ceiling is the size. Six inch, twelve inch and twenty four inch patterns are available. All options work the same; this is a personal choice.

Step 3
Locate any local manufacturers or distributors of tin ceiling. Most home improvement stores do not carry this product, but some may be willing to special order it from their suppliers. Ask for the suppliers contact information to see if they sell directly to the public.
-
Step 4
Shop for tin ceiling online. Tin ceiling can be purchased online and shipped to your location's address. There is a large amount of options to choose from online, too, but you may need to insure the company carrying the tin ceiling online has enough available to be purchased for your project.

Step 5
Purchase all needed tin ceiling at one time whenever possible. Even from the same distributor and manufacturer, batch colors may differ slightly when they are not produced at the same time. Therefore, purchase all that is needed ahead of time.
