Accessory Fan Downrods: Find the Perfect Extension | Lighting New York

Find the Perfect Accessory Fan Downrod for Your Ceiling Fan

Is Your Ceiling Fan Hanging Too High? The Solution is Here.

We all know the feeling. You install a beautiful new ceiling fan, only to realize it's barely moving any air. Or maybe it's just visually lost in a high-ceilinged room. The problem isn't the fan itself, but rather its distance from the floor. That's where a ceiling fan extension rod comes in. It bridges the gap, bringing your fan to the optimal height for both performance and aesthetics.

At Lighting New York, we understand the importance of getting the details right. You’ve invested in a quality ceiling fan, and you deserve to experience its full potential. A properly sized downrod can transform a lackluster installation into a functional and stylish centerpiece.

Why You Need a Downrod

A downrod, also known as a ceiling fan extension rod, does more than just lower your fan. It ensures proper airflow, preventing the motor from overheating, especially in rooms with high ceilings or sloped ceilings. Without the right downrod, your fan might wobble, make noise, or simply fail to circulate air effectively.

Choosing the Right Downrod: Style and Function

Selecting the correct downrod involves considering several factors: ceiling height, fan size, ceiling slope, and your desired aesthetic. First, measure the distance from the ceiling to the floor. As a general rule, the fan blades should be 7 to 9 feet from the floor. For ceilings taller than 8 feet, an extension is almost always necessary.

Next, consider the style of your fan and room. Do you prefer a modern, traditional, or rustic look? The finish of your downrod should complement the fan's finish and overall décor. Popular choices include matte black, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and white.

• Modern: Opt for sleek, minimalist downrods in matte black, stainless steel, or chrome.
• Traditional: Choose downrods with subtle detailing in oil rubbed bronze, polished brass, or brushed nickel.
• Rustic: Consider downrods with a slightly textured finish in bronze or black to complement a more natural aesthetic.

We carry various lengths, including 12 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch, 36 inch, 48 inch, 60 inch, and even 72 inch options, ensuring a perfect fit for any ceiling height.

Consider where the fan will be located. An downrod for a living room or bedroom might prioritize aesthetics, while one for a porch or patio might need to be more durable and weather-resistant.

Finally, think about any special features you might need. Do you require a downrod with a swivel for angled ceilings? Or perhaps an extendable option for maximum flexibility?

At Lighting New York, we are here to help you find the perfect solution. We believe that a well-chosen downrod not only improves the functionality of your ceiling fan but also enhances the overall look and feel of your space.
