Ceilings on rooms?

[pedroboy]

Building out a new location, and was suggested to put ceilings on the high end rooms and call them suites or somthing special like that. Walls are a couple of inches off the ground and would ventilate properly out of the room. Any one ever see or hear of this?
Thanks...

Don't believe it. A couple of inches off the floor does make for a good air flow. You need open to the top as much as you can get. The hot exhaust will not exit out two inches on the bottom.

^^^^^^^^What he said! About the ceiling but not a couple of inches on the floor. One inch on the floor! More than that you can slide looking devices under the wall easily.

I have never seen a wall open on the bottom. If I were a young lady, I would feel very uncomfortable with any open space on the bottom.

keep ceiling open..spray paint ceiling black if possible. Gives a nice clean contemporary look. Even better with sleek Mod-walls.

Plus your beds would love it (won't overheat, space stays cooler)


Yes, one inch max open on floor (like mod walls)...more than that not necessary, especially with open ceiling

Thanks, just seems like it just seems like it could be very nice as long as the equipment is ventilated properly.

I did it with a Sunboard+ HP, floor to ceiling all enclosed with a solid door.

With the open layout of that bed and the fact I am higher end, we wanted to make a suite.

It can be done very easily and will create a unique room that clients will love.

Air in, Air out; it does not matter how, as long as you can provide the proper CFM

I have a Sunboard plus HP in a room with walls to the top.
I had to cut 24"x24" vents in the door to cool it. It was constantly overheating and breaking filter glass.

It is not a recommendation by me to have enclosed ceiling unless it is a very large room with the bed vented to the ceiling

We pushed more AC into the room with additional vents and ran the exhaust (w/ bypass) from the unit into the HVAC. We could not run ours outside due to pressurization issues of a smaller salon and a high efficiency HVAC (not enough new fresh air to equalize the salon's air pressure).

It worked great, room would only increase about 2-3 degrees if running non-stop.

IMO, all HP's must be vented out of the room.
