Flush Mount Ceiling Fans

Flush mount ceiling fans are special types of fans that may actually provide a solution to your problem. Do you have a low-hanging ceiling in your home or in a certain room of your house and none of the regular ceiling fans fit? Well, your woes are now over because the flush mount ceiling fans are exactly what you need.

Flush mount ceiling fans are also called as hugger ceiling fans or low-profile ceiling fans. Instead of having a rod that connects the blades to the motor, the rod is eliminated and the blades are attached to the motor itself. The clearance needed for such a fan is no more than 6 to 10 inches from the ceiling, which is better than the usual 12 to 14 inches clearance that a regular ceiling fan requires. As the rod is taken away from the equation, some six to eight inches in the fan’s design is eliminated as well. Now you have a ceiling fan that is perfect for a room with a ceiling no higher than eight feet.

The only disadvantage of these fans would be its lack of adequate airflow. Because the blades are too close to the body of the fan, it can’t produce as much ventilation as you want from it. The airflow induced is not as efficient as regular ceiling fans but they can do a good job in refreshing the room just the same. The performance of these fans may not seem comparable enough, but they can initiate the flow of ample air to make the room well-ventilated.

Because of these fans’ compact and light design, most models are also very energy efficient. Some are heavy duty fans with very powerful motors that would ensure you of twice as much performance than regular fans of its like. Performance is actually a very important consideration, given the fact that these fans work somehow inferior to the regular ceiling fans with long rods.
