Jennifer Motruk Loy, director of marketing with a Washington D.C. based architecture and design firm, tells The Washington Times that the number of vendors selling tin ceiling products is growing rapidly, a sign of interest from both businesses and homeowners. In the same article, Cheryl Campbell owner of D.C.'s Urban Revivals agrees, attributing the popularity of tin ceilings to the fact that, "real metal ceilings stand out immediately for their beauty."
