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!

Hello Santapt,

For a tray drop design the Fan area is at a height than the peripheral borders. Hoping it is same in your case. At the cost of seeming repetitive, using a suitable fan drop rod will reduce the vertical height of the fan and address your dilemma. You may not need consider swing/flush fans in that case.

There are brand stores which have their models on display but not many big multi brand display outlets in Bangalore. Would be glad to know in case you come across any. Do let me know :)

You can have a look at the Havells/ Luminous Swing models online and place an order maybe they have it on display in their outlets. Please be aware that they do not have same sweep as a regular fan because of obvious reasons.

Flush fans are limited designs - Look at designer options at Fanzart in Bangalore..

Thanks
