Why You Will Want Flush Mount Ceiling Fans
What are flush mount ceiling fans? They are the same thing as hugger ceiling fans or low profile ceiling fans, except by name.
These fans are placed completely against the ceiling instead of using a small down rod for hanging. They are manufactured purposely for ceilings 8 feet and lower with blades positioned from the ceiling in the range of 6 to 10 inches instead of the 12 to 14 inches on a standard unit.
If your ceiling falls in this height category, talk to your local distributor and ask for this type of ceiling fan. Take care to never mount a low profile fan under seven feet from the base of the floor or allow it to be less than eighteen inches from the interior walls.
It is important to know that the short distance between the ceiling and the fan blades will inevitably decrease the effectiveness of the fan in circulating air around the room, unless you have a really high quality fan. For this exact reason, forking out a few more bucks for a high quality fan is definitely worthwhile in a long run. The normal price for any flush mount fan would be under 100 dollars and while it may be enough to cool down the room but for a few dollars more, you can get a better fan with the proper CFM rating and higher performance.
Flush mounts are an excellent answer to small restricted areas that sometimes can become stuffy such as a narrow hallway or a walk-in closet. As they are attached to the ceiling, it is a great source for circulating air without using any additional space. As an additional bonus, choose one that has a lighting option!
The product line for flush mount fans are also as many as the standard fan. There are contemporary, classic, traditional, transitional, white finish, stainless steel, and the established wooden designs available and so much more for you to choose from.
You may have a low ceiling but you can still have high performance, high quality fans with a flush mount fan.
