so cham no 1 answer TS..
how low is your ceiling?
installing plaster or not?
my suggestion is to ask the electrical shop for opinion...
got some fans from DEKA if not mistaken for low ceilings..

give you an idea, my ceiling is 9ft2in height, installed plaster becomes <9ft. what i did was created a box in the plaster so that the fan sits on the original ceiling still....

wow! u must have long hands... LOL!
u r 5'6", and assuming after plaster ur ceiling height is 9', u would still have a gap of 3'6"...
my advise still stands, get your electrician to recommend you a fan with a shorter arm, and if I m not wrong, DEKA has such fans....
good luck!

hahaha.. sorry my bad... missed out 2" from your height....
the way i see it you got 2 option, do the box, or get a short fan..
ur choice bro..
good luck

no need remove all plaster ceiling... get your contractor to see what he can do
I installed the box, using DEKA normal fan hooked up my ceiling
kautim
i dont go around walking in my living room with my arms up in the air all the time...
baby fan also is a good call..
