Fan Downrods: Find the Perfect Extension at Lighting New York
Choosing the Right Fan Downrod for Your Space
The Problem: A Ceiling Fan Too High?
Have you ever installed a ceiling fan only to find it's not circulating air effectively? The problem often isn't the fan itself, but its height. If a ceiling fan is too close to the ceiling, it can't move air properly, leaving you feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. This is where a fan downrod comes in. It bridges the gap, bringing the fan down to a level where it can do its job efficiently.
Lighting New York's Solution: The Perfect Fan Downrod
At Lighting New York, we understand that every room is different, and every homeowner has unique needs. That's why we offer a comprehensive selection of fan accessory downrods to ensure your ceiling fan is perfectly positioned for optimal performance and style. We take pride in helping you find the solution to your home lighting needs.
We carry a variety of styles, sizes, and finishes to seamlessly integrate with your existing fan and décor. Whether you need a short downrod for a low ceiling or a long one for a vaulted space, we have you covered.
Finding the Right Length
Choosing the correct downrod length is crucial. A general rule of thumb is to have the fan blades between 8 and 9 feet from the floor. For high ceilings, you'll need a longer downrod. We offer options ranging from 12 inch to 60 inch, ensuring you can find the perfect fit. For lower ceilings, consider a close to ceiling model.
Transforming Your Space with the Right Downrod
A fan downrod isn't just a functional component; it's also an opportunity to enhance the aesthetic of your room.
Finishes to Match Your Style: We offer a wide array of finishes, including brushed nickel, black, white, bronze, oil rubbed bronze, matte black, polished brass, and stainless steel. Whether your style is modern, traditional, rustic, or something in between, you'll find a downrod that complements your fan and décor. Consider a wood downrod for a touch of natural elegance.
Specialized Downrods for Unique Situations: Do you have a sloped ceiling? No problem! We offer downrods specifically designed for sloped ceilings, ensuring your fan hangs correctly and operates smoothly. Need extra stability? Our heavy duty downrods are built to handle larger, heavier fans. A downrod with swivel capabilities can also be useful for angled ceilings.
Replacing an Old Downrod: Sometimes, you just need a replacement downrod. We offer replacement downrods that are threaded for easy installation and compatibility with most ceiling fans. Consider a downrod extension if you need to add a little extra length to your existing setup.
Common Uses for Fan Downrods
- High Ceilings: For rooms with high ceilings, a longer downrod is essential to bring the fan down to a level where it can effectively circulate air.
- Sloped Ceilings: Specialized downrods are available for sloped ceilings to ensure the fan hangs correctly and operates smoothly.
- Aesthetic Upgrades: Sometimes, a new downrod in a different finish can give your ceiling fan a fresh, new look. Consider changing from a standard white downrod to a brushed nickel or matte black finish to update your fan's style.
- Outdoor Spaces: For covered outdoor patios or porches, an outdoor rated downrod is essential to withstand the elements.
