Surface Mount Ceiling Tiles

No drop grid? No problem. Surface mount ceiling tiles attach directly to drywall, plaster or even popcorn texture, so you keep your full ceiling height while adding real decorative character. They are a favorite for Houston-area homes, condos and storefronts with low or damaged ceilings. Here are 12 surface mount styles our customers love.

Pattern names and numbers are shown so you can reference them during your consultation. Most styles are available in multiple finishes and colors.

Line Art #R24

Thin, crisp lines form a quiet geometric frame on this 20×20 glue-up foam tile. Because it mounts straight to the existing ceiling, it is a fast way to cover popcorn texture or minor cracks in Houston homes and condos without a messy tear-out.

Diamond Wreath #R02

A feathery laurel wreath sits inside a double-lined diamond with curling accents in each corner. This lightweight surface-mount tile is paintable, so it can match a room's trim color exactly or be finished in a metallic for a tin-ceiling look.

Ivy Leaves #R37

Trailing ivy vines frame a softly raised center for an organic, garden-inspired ceiling. The tile glues right over most surfaces, including popcorn ceilings, which makes it a favorite for kitchens, breakfast nooks and sunrooms.

The Virginian #R08

Colonial-inspired details and a stately raised border give The Virginian a classic Southern feel. It installs with adhesive directly to drywall or plaster, so low ceilings keep every inch of height while still gaining decorative character.

Romanesque Wreath #R47

A round wreath encircled by Roman-style ornament brings an old-world elegance to any room. As a surface-mount tile it is perfect for spaces without a drop grid, such as dining rooms, master bedrooms and boutique storefronts.

Victorian #R14

An ornate center medallion is framed by sweeping leaves, scrolls and a solid outer border straight out of the 19th century. Paint it white for a plaster look or finish it in bronze for a rich pressed-tin effect over a formal room.

Circles and Stars #R82

Interlocking circles and four-point stars create a lively repeating pattern that hides seams once installed. It is a fun, versatile pick for kids' rooms, retail spaces and coffee shops, and it glues up quickly with no special tools.

Spanish Silver #R139

Inspired by Spanish Colonial ironwork, this tile pairs bold rosettes with a deep frame. It fits right in with the Mission and Mediterranean architecture common around San Antonio and Houston, and it can be painted to match stucco or wood beams.

Bead Board #R104

Classic farmhouse bead board in an easy 20×20 foam tile, with none of the hassle of nailing up planks. It is a popular cover-up for dated popcorn ceilings in porches, laundry rooms and coastal-style homes from Galveston to Katy.

Wrought Iron #205

Bold scrollwork reminiscent of a wrought-iron gate makes this 24×24 PVC glue-up tile a true focal point. It is available in deep metallic finishes, and because it adheres directly to the ceiling, it is ideal for rooms where a suspended grid is not an option.

Kensington Gardens #R30

A delicate floral medallion is ringed by beadwork and scrolling garden motifs for a refined English-manor look. The foam tile is light enough to install over existing ceilings, giving bedrooms and sitting rooms an heirloom feel.

Chestnut Grove #R31

Leaf-and-nut detailing forms a warm, rustic border around a calm center field. Chestnut Grove suits lodge-style dens, wine rooms and Hill Country homes, and it takes paint well for a custom color or faux-wood finish.
