Choosing the Appropriate Mounting System Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 – 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow.Click to see full answer. Similarly, it is asked, can you put a ceiling fan on an 8 foot ceiling?There are no lights hanging down below the fan to elongate the fan and extend the length that the fans comes down from the ceiling. In order for a fan to be considered to be OK to use on an 8 foot ceiling, the bottom of the blades of the fan must be 7 feet off the floor when the fan is installed.Subsequently, question is, how long should a downrod be for vaulted ceilings? Most ceiling fan manufacturers include a short downrod in the box, but to install a ceiling fan safely on a vaulted or cathedral ceiling you will need to have a total downrod length of at least 12 inches. Correspondingly, how long should ceiling fan downrod be? Standard ceiling fans include a downrod ranging in length from 2 inches to 10 inches, which is suitable for standard-size rooms with a ceiling height of eight to nine feet. However, fan downrods can range all the way up to 177 inches, depending on the manufacturer.Can a ceiling fan be too close to ceiling?If a ceiling fan is too close to a ceiling, say six inches or less, it can’t easily get the needed air to push down towards the floor. Just the same, the fan blades must have a tilt to them so they cut through the air and push it down. Airplane and ship propellers operate the same way.
