Anyone know of a cool, easy to install ceiling tile to cover old acoustical tile?

Question

Looking to cover those old white ceiling tiles from the 50's or 60's. I don't really want to take the old ones down. They are actually in great shape. I just think they look pretty cheesy. Anybody know of an easy solution. Also if you have a link where I can buy that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

How about a tin ceiling?  The tiles are easy to install and look beautiful.  They come in 12" x 12"  12" x 24" and 24" x 24" in all sorts of patterns and finishes.  There are a few manufacturers.
