Urgent! False Ceiling With Or Without Fan

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I'm facing two choice :

1. L box false ceiling where I can install ceiling fan

2. False ceiling with a S shape curve that cannot install ceiling fan

Choice 2 add a lot of modern feel to my reno theme n I'm thinking of buying a Vornado or Ifan Fan in place of the ceiling fan. But such fan seem to be much less practical than ceiling fan..

Anyone can share experience if u have Choice 1 or 2 for ur house?

i am going with option one. false ceiling with ceiling fan.

the other option is dyson fan for modern look.

hope this helps :yamseng:

i think no:1 is better if u dont wish to spend much money on the reno, why not do a round design with ur fan in it? i think to do it just add a $500 or so? hear fr friend with the round design, so not sure.

Suyun, is Dyson fan a standing fan? does it consume more energy than a normal ceiling fan?

Anyway, I wonder if a S curve ceiling really look nice on a small living room? Maybe L box could make the living room look more spacious.. Anyone has pic of a curve false ceiling to share? Thanks!

If u edy having a false ceiling, adding a ceiling fan will even make ur living room ceiling seems shorter... n doesnt look so nice either

I have been to houses with and without ceiling fans.

ceiling fans will increase the ventilation, although you might not really feel the wind, but at least you wont feel stuffy. Without ceiling fan, you really need to on the aircon or get a standing fan.

I saw bad remarks on Dyson fans. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=52338&st=0&p=744628&hl=dyson&fromsearch=1entry744628

My flat which is currently under reno, will have 6 ceiling fans. 4 in bedrooms and 2 in study and living room respectively...

L box false ceiling is enough :)

Yep.. L box or cove lights false ceiling is nice as it is :sport-smiley-018:

Suggest to get:

1) Slim & modern looking tower fan and/or

2) Aircond

Ceiling fans yeah,,, do not actually provide good wind to you unless you're under the fan, it's more for circulation. ON a hot day, still crawl back to bedroom to switch on a/c. My suggestion is ceiling fan still and get another nice tower fan.

I'd go for Option 1. Mainly it's cheaper.

The most practical is wall fans.. Ugly but serves it's purpose best.

Guess what, my ID actually thought of an ingenius idea that really impressed us! He made a S curve but bend it in such a way that can accommodate a ceiling fan nicely! My false ceiling is done now and with all the lightings, the effect is really superb!

The fan is installed on the ceiling.. Not a false ceiling.. So it can hold the weight :)
