When accessing the need for a low profile ceiling fan, one can be sure the most important aspect of purchasing a fan is for the air-cooling result. Low profile ceiling fans are sometimes referred to as hugger fans since they hug the ceiling. They are typically installed in rooms where the ceiling is less than 8 feet high. With this in mind, they are closer to the ceiling and have less air circulation than traditional ceiling fans that hang down.



There are instances where a low profile ceiling fan is required since a traditional fan cannot be accommodated. Fan blades typically should not be any lower than 7 feet from the floor much for safety reasons. The location of your ceiling fan will determine if a traditional or low profile ceiling fan is necessary, such as a bedroom or over a dinning room table where the distance from floor to fan blades is smaller. If you find that a lighting kit is essential for your ceiling fan, keep in mind that it will add an extra 6 to 10 inches on the distance of your fan to the floor due to the lighting fixtures alone.
