Depending on your ceiling height, you may need to install your fan using either a flush mount mechanism or a downrod. You can install flush-mount ceiling fans directly into the ceiling, and they are excellent options for rooms with low ceilings.
A downrod ceiling fan is attached to the motor housing and then connected to a rod. Linear downrods are available for those who require a long distance between their fan and the ceiling.
