General Ceiling Height Tip
For ceilings at any height, we recommend that your ceiling fan be installed with the blades suspended 7’ to 9’ above the floor for optimum performance.
8 Foot Ceilings
For 8-foot ceilings, we recommend flush-mounted ceiling fans. Fans that sit flush to the ceiling can be approximately 4″-6″ shorter than standard dowrodded fans.

9 Foot Ceilings
For 9-foot ceilings, we recommend fans with a downrod length between 4″ and 8″. Installing the blades further away from the ceiling allows for more air circulation and fan efficiency.
10+ Foot Ceilings
For ceilings 10-feet or taller, we recommend adding additional downrod lengths of 12″, 18″, 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″ or 72″.
