Pradeep, plywood or Gypsum has little do with heat reduction . It is the air layer between the actual ceiling and the false ceiling that does bring the temperature down. So as long as you are having a gap of 4-6 inches between the two ceilings it shouldn't matter. Gypsum would be more cost effective. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore

Cornerstone Design, Thanks for your response. The electrician and false ceiling folks I've engaged are very competent, and are going to take care of installing the ceiling fans (of any type or kind I buy). My only task is to find and procure appropriate fans. Regarding the loss of about 10" due to the false ceiling: I only did a simple rectangular tray drop design for lights (approx 4-6"); however, the original ceiling was not straight, and approx 2-3" extra went in straightening it at the tray edges. Since the ceiling seems (perceived) low, I do not want to make it look lower visually. I am looking for fans that will be as close as possible to the false-ceiling without effecting its sweep functionality or energy efficiency. Any suggestions on where I can get good ceiling fans in Bangalore (all brands and varieties under one roof)? I would also like to see/consider the options you've mentioned (special fan like flush fan or ceiling swing fans). Where can I see/procure these in Bangalore? Thanks!

Go for that fresh vibe with "Morning Glory (0765)"—it's crisp! If you prefer warm tones, "Sugared Nut (L126)" is cozy. "Milky Way (L102)" is a subtle classic. "Pebble White (L136)" gives a touch of sophistication, and "Angel Cloud (L123)" is pure elegance. Test a patch and see which one vibes with your space!

HI, Curved ceiling corners and beams are an excellent choice for adding a touch of elegance and unique architectural appeal to a space. The fluid lines and curves can indeed make the room look fantastic, creating a sense of movement and sophistication in the design.
