Fixed for TS

May I know what is TS?

TS - Thread starter

Sorry, I am newbie for this thing. What is the usage of this TS??

TS=Thread Starter, is the person who started this topic.
In this case the person is - jessw - you lah.

When we say TS , this "Thread"
Lowyat.NET -> Roundtable Discussions -> Property Talk -> Home Renovations and Interior Design -> Plaster ceiling renovation

Starter = jessw - you

That should be the meaning unless I am very much mistaken then

LOL~~~~

phonix69, you are right. TS=Topic Starter.
jessw, you can click here and look at the top row (On top of Announcement: Classified Section for Advertisement) there is 5 column with wording as 'Topic Title', 'Replies', 'Topic Starter' and 'Views Last Action'

I've checked all the topic and none of them are related to East M'sia. I found out it is RM 3.50 per sqft for ceiling and same price for cornice. Do these prices are reasonable? summore one of my fren advised that not to do the ceiling and juz add the cornices because my apartment just left 8ft in height after the ceiling added. I am dizzy...... my dream has been broken...i really really wish to stick to my plan, should i?

8 feet only ah
Mine is 9 feet and I thought it was low.
I am going ahead, as my original ceiling is not level and looks "wavy".

Do you plan to put a ceiling fan in the plaster ceiling area?
If yes, better don't put up the plaster ceiling.

Originally it is 9.5 feet, if the ceiling added, it will be 8 feet.

If no ceiling fan, maybe still can consider. Coz after put up the plaster ceiling probably you still get a clearance of 7 feet. You judge yourself whether comfortable or not.

Not much people using cornice lol, but you may want to consider putting a Dome or ceiling Panel for your fan, which allow 3-4in high for the fan itself.

Also consider what type of downlight the you plan to use, example: If using External box type, than the gap between plaster and ceiling will not require so big. If you decide to use Long type (8 inch) or Vertical type (4 inch) that this will impact on your plaster and ceiling gaps. Because I do the mistake didnt put it into consideration, end up my contractor just open 9inch gaps between it...

You may also want to consider using baby fan which smaller than traditional fan, but I'm not sure is the power or not

If you add plaster ceiling it will deduct only around 8"
(Low ceiling do not use too big a vertical bulb downlight , so only deduct you around 8" height or you can go for those horizontal bulb downlight, deduct you 6" height).
All in all still have height approx. 8.5'nett. OK lah...
Go for it girl

External box type? how it looks like? long type ? vertical type??
Besides, I am not planning to do the ceiling fan...

Err maybe I put it this way:-

Original ceiling height - 9feet 6inches
Plaster Ceiling - 8 inches (Type of downlight determines your plaster ceiling depth)
After Renovation - "9 feet 6 inches" less "8 inches" = "8 feet 8 inches"
Conclusion : Ceiling height still higher than "8 feet 6 inches"

OK mah , Lu pergi buat lor

Thanks for your details....
normally the plaster ceiling needs 8 inches ? I understand it is determined by the downlight. Any recommendation for the downlight? prefer less inches
and not so energy consumption...
