Yes! Stretch ceiling will sit perfectly flat, and it never sags, bubbles, peels, flakes, moulds, or fades! It can be installed right over the sagging ceiling, or, if it is in danger of falling, you might choose to knock the existing ceiling out and then install stretch ceiling right over the empty space. You may also want to check to make sure that the floor above isn't sagging, in which case you may need to install a structural column or beam. We carry over 280 colours in high gloss, satin, matte, sandy matte, and canvas textured finishes, as well as translucent, iridescent sparkle, and we have the ability to digitally print any high resolution image on any of the above.

Hi new to all this but thought I'd pass on some fan tips; Be very selective of the shape of the fan blades. They all look stylish but in my experience the flatter the blade the less air they move. We have now gone back to the original metal fans with the blades that bend at the edge, http://regencyfan.com/industrial, our fans are more stylish than the one shown (the blade shape is nice and clear in this example). Our weather in no where near as warm as yours I'd hate for you to make the same mistake we made, twice, before we learnt. Look at the fans motor size, some of the expensive and lots of the cheap ones have small motors that don't last long, unfortunately price does not dictate quality in this case so don't get caught out. My husband is a mechanic and this is one of his "things" when every we shop for electrical items (drills, fans, pumps etc.) always make sure the motor is quality and large enough to do the job and last. How may speeds. We have 8 fans in our home, one is in our extension and was purchased at a different time; It's low speed is realllllllly slow the next one is so fast it's like a cyclone and I'm not game to try the third one in case it dismounts from the ceiling. Be careful not to mount fans too close to down lights or you get a flickering effect caused by the blade passing over the light. Try not to mount the fan directly over the dining table as it will cause food to go cold. I'm with mydesignobsession when it comes to style/look I prefer visitors see my wonderful eclectic decoration then my ceiling fans! Good luck

Having been brought up in a Lockwood home I love cathedral ceilings but I do understand your concern in relation to heating & insulation. My parents had to replace their iron roof after it had passed its use by date. Depending on the state of your roof you could consider adding a roof over the top of your existing roof & adding insulation in between the old & new roof cavity. We also did paint the ceilings white in the bedrooms to add a bit of lightness to the room - but it added no heat. If you have high ceilings you are so lucky. It would in my mind a pity to paint them out in your main living areas. Have you considered doubling up your floor space by adding a mezzanine floor above some sections of the home? This will still give the gabled ceilings but also you to insulate the new floor cavity & any heater / heat generated under the sub floor wouldn't automatically go any high which would make parts of the home easier to heat. I hope you can visualise What I am suggesting. The view from the upper floor will also add a new dimension to the house.

Hi Jeannie, Just following up with your enquiry. The real estate agent valued this property (in its original state) at $2,000,000. He then recommended to the owner to update interiors (& the rest!)- which is where we came in. Our refresh only cost the owner $60,000 for all the trades in the description. It sold for $2,558,000 on the weekend! So yes, the price obtained completely covered the renovation and staging costs a few times over! Owner is over the moon.
