There are several types of mounts that have been engineered to meet specific room and ceiling requirements:

The Downrod Bracket

The downrod bracket is a popular choice for rooms with high or vaulted ceilings. This mount involves a long rod that lowers the fan to an optimal height, improving air circulation in larger spaces. It's particularly beneficial in areas with ceiling heights above 8 feet, where a closer connection to living space is needed for effective cooling.

The Flush Mount Bracket

For those with lower ceilings, there is a flush mount installation option. This mount allows the fan to sit directly against the ceiling, eliminating any unnecessary space between the blades and the ceiling. It's perfect for rooms with ceilings under 8 feet high, offering a minimalist and sleek design that maximizes headroom.

The Angled Mount Bracket

For angled or sloped ceilings, the angled mount bracket works perfectly. It allows the fan to hang straight down, ensuring optimal airflow even in uniquely shaped rooms. This mount can accommodate various degrees of slope, making it a versatile option for attics, loft spaces, or any room with an unconventional ceiling.

The Dual Mount Bracket

The Dual Mount Bracket offers the ultimate in versatility. Designed to accommodate both standard and angled installations, this mount provides the flexibility to adjust based on the structure of your room. It's a great option for those who may change their space or move frequently, offering adaptability without compromising on performance.

Given the nature of their design, fans suspended by a longer downrod may exhibit a slight sway. However, it's important to distinguish between this expected motion and excessive wobbling, which can signal that something's amiss. If your fan's doing more of a dance than a gentle sway, it might indicate issues with the installation or that the fan itself is unbalanced.

To keep your fan's wobble to a gentle minimum, ensure its securely mounted. This is critical not just for aesthetics, but for safety and efficiency too. Additionally, check that the blades are properly balanced; even a slight discrepancy can cause significant movement. If you're not sure how to balance the blades or if the fan continues to perform its wobble routine despite your best efforts, it might be time to call in a professional.
