Thank you so very much. You are the most efficient company I have had dealing with since I started my renovation. Your website is simple to navigate, my previous sample order was delivered in less than a week and you were speedy to correct MY mistake. I will refer Shanko to anyone who admires my powder room. Thank you again, Mary M
First I will start off with the fact that I am in Canada, the tiles came really fast. I also forgot to add the nails, they added some for me... No charge! The service was the best I've had in a long time. The tiles are beautiful! Now for my project... I have always wanted tin tiles in some way or another... I also hate my kitchen an wanted a backsplash. I am a woman with no skill for cutting ext. I cut, painted and installed these myself. It did not take me 4 hours as the youtube video I found on installing them said... But most of my time was in painting, and the company sells beautifully painted tiles, just not the colour I wanted. I have yet to seal the edges with silicone, not sure how well I will do at that part, but the overall job is done. I love it! I ordered 12 tiles and have 2 complete left over and a bunch of cut offs that I plan to use in my bathroom for a little backsplash I have pictures if you would like to see, but I can't figure out how to attach them here Nicole
Dear Shanko, As promised, here's a photo of my kitchen with your tin ceilings installed as a backsplash.
Every single one of my friends who's seen it has said exactly the same thing "WOW, that's beautiful!" or "WOW, what a difference". Some said it makes the kitchen look larger.
I was going to distress the tiles using paint but the feedback is so positive that I think I'll leave everything just as is.
Thank you very much for a wonderful product. That finishing touch made a huge impact. My beautiful kitchen now seems gorgeous to me! Even the dog loves the kitchen! (He's the black spot on the carpet) ;-)
Best regards, M Smith, Miami Shores, FL

Mr. Shafer recently received a letter from descendants of the original owner of the East Elm Street store, along with a photograph of the proprietor taken sometime in the 1930s. The original tin ceiling that remains today is visible in the decades-old picture.
We used 12" Sante Fe tiles to redo our fireflace surround. We used steel tiles and sprayed them with copper hammered paint. This was an affordable and unique way to update the room. It looks absolutely amazing. (Photo available upon request.)
