I live in an apartment where all ceilings are popcorn inside & the only smooth ceiling slants 30 degrees up. Can I jury rig this to work w/o damage?

I would not recommend trying to put it on a slanted ceiling. It should work on popcorn ceilings...

It wont work on a slanted ceiling. My ceiling is textured but the texture is flattened (I think its called knockdown) and it works fine. I would guess that if the ceiling texture is very coarse that it might damage the texturing. You can adjust the pressure that the spring puts on the ceiling by shortening the PVC pipe that connects to the spring.

Yes, but this "newer version" does not last 1/5 of the time the original design did. I had the original carpeted one. Lasted 4 year and 3 cats.....I bought the new one and it was shredded in 3 months. They suck now. Structural design is still awesome. But the surface doesn't hold up.... Better to buy it- strip it. And add your own carpet.My apartment is also slanted. It stays.

Yes, I think it will hold up if you install correctly. However, it will likely damage the popcorn finish. I would still get it though, it's a great rack. You can easily patch the ceiling if you ever take the rack down.

Michael I am not sure since my husband is the one who ordered and used this for the first time. All I do know is the bathroom looks great with it...no more popcorn ceilings !!! I will ask him if you'd like when I chat with him this evening.

Yes, works great. I removed popcorn ceiling in one room so far. It made short work of it. I purchased because contractors wanted $2500 to $3000 to remove popcorn from my front living area.Dust and cleanup is minimum. Will throw a little dust if you go past edge on outside corner. Very high quality tool

Yes, this fan can be mounted on up to a 26-degree slanted ceiling out of the box according to another website with detailed info. If the angle is steeper (26-45 degrees) you need to buy Emerson's angled ceiling kit. We have these mounted on a 14-degree angled porch ceiling. The Tilo is a great little fan and moves a shocking amount of air for its size.

Yes, it works will in final prep. You still need to wet & scrape before sanding. I can no longer do popcorn ceilings without it.

It has been awhile since I installed this fan and do love it. I have mine on back porch and shows no weather wear. As far as mounting on a slant I would say no for what is in the box. The pole would need to be longer to keep the blades from hitting the ceiling, unless you are only talking about a minimum angle slant. The pole is about 10" or less if I remember correctly.

Hello! The fan can go up to 29 degrees without an adapter for an angled ceiling. Otherwise, you'll need http://www.amazon.com/MinkaAire-A245-DKG-F612-DKG-Distressed-Highlights/dp/B006TTOBBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394720972&sr=8-1&keywords=A245-DKG If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know!

If the instructions say ceiling only then stick with that. Mine is on ceiling

If you have space with higher ceilings, you could use inside. The blower sounds like an old box style fan on high.

Yes, it has the standard ceiling-fan "ball mount" system that would let it work on an angled ceiling. Not sure what the max angle is, but as long as your definition of "slightly" is reasonable you should be fine.

You might have to smooth the area out where top piece will meet the ceiling but other than that, yes.

Yes, there is no other way to do it. Hopefully your ceiling is not higher than 8 feet.

Yes, I have mine on an angled ceiling. The cords are very long and you can cut them to any length that you want.

Depends on angle of projection. I have projected movies on my vaulted ceil at 30 to 40 degree angles (using table top as zero degrees), noting to make sure you don't block the vents that supply air into and remove hot air from projector. An angle greater then 45 degrees requires you to make or buy a bracket that holds your projector firmly in place. Projector requires 5 inches in rear to exhaust hot air from projector properly.

Easy answer, no. BUT I would think if you were handy and were able to trim the top at the angle you were wanting then you probably could mount it on an angled ceiling. If you have amazon prime you could always order it and return it if you don't think it will work. I ended up ordereing three different ones so I could see them. You will pay for shipping to return it but to me it was worth it. Good Luck!

The instructions say for outdoor use or in well ventilated areas. I don't know if its safe to use indoors. You can use a spray paint for popcorn ceilings, but it is hard to tell how many cans you will need, it all depends on how thick you put it on. You might want to go to a hardware store or Home Depot - Lowe's and ask someone in the paint department what you should use.
