Flush Mount Ceiling Fan

Varieties In Flush Mount Ceiling Fans

When looking to purchase a ceiling fan there are so many choices that it is almost impossible to make a decision.  One of the types of ceiling fans that one can choose from is the Flush Mount Ceiling Fan.  The Flush Mount Ceiling Fan is also known as a hugger or low profile ceiling fan because their motor housing is attached directly to the ceiling instead of hanging down from the ceiling from a rod.  These types of ceiling fans are designed for ceilings that are lower than eight feet and also feature shorter blades than the fans for higher ceilings.

Some of the companies that make the Flush Mount Ceiling Fan include Hunter, Craftmade, Monte Carlo and Minka Aire.  Among the different brands are also different colors, sizes and prices.  One will find these types of ceiling fans in the same colors as any other ceiling fan including black, white, bronze, silver and a variety of wood finishes.  There is also a wide range of prices for these fans.  There are a few that are just under $100 and some that are a couple hundred but there are also some that are in between.

It is recommended that when purchasing these ceiling fans that the more expensive ones are worth the money.  Because the Flush Mount Ceiling Fan is designed to be right up to the ceiling they have to have the right length blades to provide proper air circulation.  Usually a more expensive fan will provide the proper air circulation and save the purchaser some money in the long run.  Although most say to purchase a more expensive ceiling fan it is also recommended to do some research and compare brands and prices first.  The following is just one comparison of two ceiling fans.

Two ceiling fans that are very similar in style but very different in price are the Concord 52" Madison Hugger and the Minka Aire 52" Minka Delano III.  The Concord fan has five blades, three speeds, has a 16 degree blade pitch, which is very good airflow, and the 52" blade span is good for larger rooms.  The price of this fan is $220.  The Minka Aire has five blades, three speeds, a 14 degree blade pitch and a 52" blade span.  This fan also has a light attached to it and the price is $350.  The only difference between these two ceiling fans is that one has a light and is over $100 more.  This example shows that it is very important to do research before purchasing your ceiling fan.
