Reclaimed wood ,use pallets you could take apart and nail them up .Could be free if you look on Craig's list for free pallets

Hello Chandni, Do you have a 3D view of the plan to use the wood. The suggestion on real wood material on external facade would depend on the likley placement. You may consider High Pressure Laminate sheets as well. They are durable, decorative, water and fire resistant. Thanks, Amit 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!

Hello, You may have to remove them , take them to nearest timber get them planed and then reinstall. after planing you may have to buy few additional pieces to cover up the material lost in planing. Otherwise, If the gaps are not very big you can try filling them with metal paste or wood putty.
