Standard 8 foot ceilings -
Manufacturers design fans to fit a standard eight-foot ceiling, which puts the blades seven feet from the floor for the best air movement and clearance. -
Ceilings lower than 8 feet -
Use a Ceiling Mounting Kit or go with an a snugger model to achieve the desired seven-foot blade clearance.
-
Ceilings above 8 feet -
For ceilings above eight feet, the fan should be hung by a downrod to eight or nine feet from the floor. This is important because the higher the fan is hung, the less air circulates near the floor. Most manufacturers have accessory downrods available in lengths of one foot to six feet to achieve your desired height. -
Sloped Ceilings -
You will need to contact the manufacturer of your fan to see if they offer a ceiling mounting kit and an additional downrod at the appropriate size for the height of your ceiling. This will accommodate cathedral ceilings and sloped ceilings up to 40?. Most manufactuers out there do offer these products.
