Low ceilings or rooms without a down rod used to only be able to contain regular lights and nothing hanging from the ceiling area. However, manufacturers realized that more and more homes have rooms that are low ceiling areas. For small rooms or rooms that have low ceilings you can now install low profile ceiling fans.
When the ceiling is low in a room many people do not want ceiling fans because of fan blade clearance. There is worry about the dangers of walking into the fan blades or other potential problems. The low profile ceiling fans offer a solution to this problem. The fan blades on low profile ceiling fans are smaller than traditional, regular sized fans. This means that you have the benefits of ceiling fans without the problems of large blades.
Another difference in the low profile ceiling fans from traditional ceiling fans is how far the fan actually hangs from the ceiling. The amount of space to house the fan compartments and the mounting hardware is more compact than traditional fans. The low profile ceiling fans sit more flush with the ceiling so that you can have increased air circulation in less space. For more ideas on ceiling fans check out www.CeilingFanSpin.com.
