Minka Aire Hugger Fans – Comments submitted by Linda Pappa
Hi Airwafts. I just love what my ceiling fans have done for the downstairs rooms. Initially we were concerned with the blades being dangerously low, but we found a solution which helped a lot, which was a range of specifically made fans for low ceilings. These fans are designed to mount to the ceiling without a downrod. What that means is that there is an increased clearance from the blades of the fan to the floor and this proved ideal for our smaller rooms. These fans have all the same functions as regular fans but in a much less conspicuous manner. Apparently, low profile ceiling fans are also called Hugger Fans! Anyway, we couldn't be happier!
As always, be sure to review any fan products prior to purchase in order to make a better informed decision prior to purchase. |
