By: Kelly Church | 2007-09-10 | Construction Installing acoustic ceiling tiles is an option to consider when you have decided to change the type of ceiling you have in your home or office.

What is most amazing is the affordability of these products compared to price tags carried when they first came to market. Two examples are pocket calculators and cell phones – which in themselves have “merged” into a single unit for cutting-edge consumers.

Unfortunately, when the blades of a fan are closer to the ceiling than a traditional fan that drops down, there is a reverberation caused from the air bouncing up and down between the ceiling and the blades. This reverberation would normally cause any fan to wobble or vibrate. So, most flush mount hugger ceiling fans are manufactured with smaller motors and a relatively flat blade pitch so that they do not move ve... read more
