Ceiling Domes
A ceiling dome can encompass an entire ceiling or it can simply span a small space, and while the ceiling dome works well on its own, it can prove a focal point for ambient lighting, and hanging objects.
Today's contemporary ceiling domes are inspired by a rich architectural history. The first domes were of simple design and appeared in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and India. The Romans advanced the construction of domes on a larger scale. A fine example is seen in the Greek Pantheon.
Byzantine architects developed the dome further, and inspired both Islamic and Italian Renaissance architects. Renaissance architects raised stunning multi-layered domes, and domes decorated with religious frescoes.
A saucer dome is named as such because it has the appearance of a shallow saucer when viewed from bellow. Saucer ceiling domes are low-pitched in terms of depth. Elliptical domes, named for their elliptical bases, are less common. The Persian, or onion dome, is more than half a sphere and raises to a point. The most famous examples are those seen at the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, and at Saint Basil's Cathedral, in Moscow, Russia.

Ceiling Medallions
When we think of the interior of a room, we often think of furniture, windows, doors and color schemes, yet we tend to overlook the potential of ceiling decoration. Ceilings offer many possibilities to enhance your living space, enhancing a room greatly, or simply providing that much needed finishing touch.
Ceiling medallions are decorated with relief work, and this can range from simple moulding rings to elaborate leaf, filigree, and geometric designs. The traditional shape of the medallion is round, though definitely no limited to this. Oval, square and even cross shaped medallions can give your ceilings character and a unique appearance.
Ceiling medallions have come to represent elegance and attention paid to detail. The ceilings of old Europe were among the most ornamented in the world. Elaborately designed ceiling medallions often accented ballrooms and dining halls. During the Italian Renaissance, medallions were often gilded, and in Victorian England, medallions were often white and combined with extensive moulding to create a grand effect.
Today, the elegance of ceilings past can be easily reproduced with Architectural Depot's ceiling medallions. No matter the size of the ceiling in question, medallions ranging from 10 to 60 inches in diameter are available in a variety of designs to suit your needs. Polyurethane construction makes them take on the look of plaster, yet they are perfectly suitable for painting. Easily apply them to your ceilings and enjoy one of the easiest do-it-yourself ceiling projects.

Tin Ceiling Tiles
Tin ceilings were introduced in the early 1860's, as a way for middle class homeowners to replicate the look of expensive hand-carved plaster work at a fraction of the cost. They increased in popularity through the turn of the century for use on the walls and ceilings of taverns, food establishments, grocery chains and other buildings because of their fire resistance, as well as resistance to mildew, moisture and vermin.
Many times referred to as "tin ceilings" the panels were never actually made from tin. Some companies used tin plated steel, but eventually found this costly and unnecessary as most people painted over them anyway.
Many tin ceilings originally installed one hundred years ago, are still in good repair today. While disappearing briefly during World War II, tin ceiling tiles have regained their popularity, as people continue to recapture our country's architectural heritage. Tin ceiling tiles are truly a part of Americana.

Wainscot Paneling
In the days before paint was scrub-able and wallpaper was mass-produced, wainscoted walls served a practical purpose; covering the lowest and most vulnerable portion of a wall. Covering with wood paneling provided an attractive and decorative wall treatment tough enough to withstand cleaning and resist any damages due to everyday use.
Even with today’s modern paint and wallpapers, wainscoting still serves its intended protective purpose; however people use it most often because of the way it transforms a bland space into an elegant room by adding interesting detail to walls that don’t otherwise have any built-in character.
Sure, that all sounds reasonable until you start to consider the cost. Until recently the trouble was, if you wanted wainscoting you either had to make-do by faking the look with trim applied directly to the wall or spend alot of money on a custom carpenter and custom-shaped panels. Now with high speed production techniques and modern, precision made MDF products, we make installing your own wainscoting a more viable option.
We offer several types of wainscoting, whether you are a do-it-yourselfer, a contractor, builder or you have a carpenter to do the job for you, our pre-manufactured kits save time and money on the job site and come with detailed instructions.
