hi
my ceiling for a old terrace house is 8.5feet after completing plasterceiling etc.

should i still go for a ceiling fan or no?
I like ceiling fan as it is more cooling compared to a normal standing fan.

I wouldn't recommend putting a flat plaster ceiling with your ceiling height. It would be better to do plaster ceiling on the side and then put a fan directly to the ceiling in the centre. That would make your house looks more spacious. Just my two cents

Heat stratification is essential to human dwelling comfort. Posts here and here deals with the issue. lord_drake's advice is sound. Noregrets commented here too.

plaster ceiling dont really last long although in some cases aesthetically nice. if die die must have plaster ceiling, you also dont need to whole ceiling plastered. get an interior designer to work out the design!

Maybe you can tell us what is your slap height? minimum drop for plaster ceiling are around 3", will your slap height are less then 9ft? i guess not...

However, if 8.5ft u not install ceiling fan, what you plan to do? on aircond every day when you at home? or just install ceiling fan but remind yourself dont jump with hand raise up under the fan? I guess after sometime, you will already remember, at the fan area, you CANT jump, so everything will be good.

I think 8.5feet better not to install ceiling fans.

why not install wall fan?

Do a cove for the fan area

Alternatively, a solution for those who have no choice since already done plaster ceiling go for Ecobreeze

How about a bladeless ceiling fan?

If you're willing to spend RM2,000.

Wouldn't recommend Dyson bladeless fan. A friend of mine bought 2 for his condo living room. Can't really cool the room. Just aesthetically looks good.

On the same item, need some advices as well. I have a 10 ft ceiling in condo, and let's say after plaster ceiling it is around 9 - 9.5 ft (using 6 inch downlights).

1. Any ways to make my ceiling look higher? Planning to do a plain flat plaster ceiling now. or is it more advisable to do plaster ceiling on the sides for the 4 downlights?
2. If I proceed with flat plaster ceiling, will it be okay for me to install the ceiling fan? Will it be too low? Planning to get Panasonic Bayu 5 blades....

Thanks ahead for your comments!!

You can buy the ceiling fan for low ceiling, few brands have it. Not using hook but directly attached to slab or wood piece hidden inside the plaster ceiling.

Hmm, I was looking around for KDK and Panasonic, but I guess not these?

It is. They are also called baby fans for having short blade and short necks made specifically to suit low ceilings. Other brands may carry the same type.

get these, there's a few types from panasonic/kdk thats suitable for low ceiling

my unit is 8.7 ft... i installed 5 ceiling fans, normal bayu 4 /5 series... never regret..

by the way i am 190cm tall... never a problem easy to clean the fan...

KDK and Panasonic do have it, I remember Alpha use to carry one as well but cannot seem to find the model

The problem with wall fan and those baby ceiling fans is the cooling capacity is not as good as a ceiling fan.

A larger ceiling fan like 56" or 60" can circulate air better.

Don't go for flat plaster ceiling. You can box up some areas and it will look higher.

Anyway, 9 - 9.5 ft ceiling can still install ceiling fan. If you're still worried, then go for the short pipe version.

well, my living room 18ft =.=
I gonna use wall fan

Yea trying my best to adjust the boxes, coz the original ceiling looks weird with many levels, now need to make it equal @.@

Want to maintain a 9ft ceiling also hard. @.@

For an area of 14ft x 14ft, will a 4-blade fan be sufficient? Or is 5-blade fan better?

You're not alone. Fortunately, KDK produced a guide specifically here for ceiling fans.

👌👌👌

small room 4 blade.... big room 5 blade...

yours 5 blade...

even smaller room only use baby fan

Thanks a lot!! 😊😊😊

Actually I feel the size of the fan is more important.

Use bigger diameter fan for bigger size room.

For example, I have a room that is 14' x 16' but only using a 3-blade fan. Difference is this fan is 70" diameter and the coverage is very good for my room.
