Often called "hugger fans", these flush mounted fans usually hang 8 to 10 inches from the ceiling and mount without the use of a downrod. Designed to meet code requirements and keep blades 7 feet from the floor, they are perfect for ceilings lower than 8 feet. The unique flush mount design lends itself to smooth curves and interesting contours. Perfect for low ceilings and small spaces, these low-profile fans are some of the most popular fans in the world.
