Huggers

Hugger fans, also known as flush mount ceiling fans, are secured tightly against the ceiling, as opposed to traditional ceiling fans, which hang from a downrod.

Huggers are a sufficient cooling option when the room you’re wanting to place a ceiling fan in is not very big. The National Electric Code requires that fans hang at least 7 feet above the floor, so if your ceiling is particularly low, a hugger fan is the best option for you. Huggers range in finishes, styles and sizes, and they can be customized with lighting options or can be installed outdoors.

Damp/Wet Location Fans

These types of ceiling fans are usually placed in an outdoor seating area, patio, porch or balcony. They differ in that wet fans can be installed anywhere and can be exposed to direct rainfall, whereas damp fans can only be installed in dry locations or damp covered areas. Do NOT try to install an indoor fan outdoors — look into one of these two options!

Traditional

Traditional fans are your everyday fans that you see most commonly. They can be ornamented with lights and designs, which add a sense of formality and unique style.

Contemporary

Contemporary or modern ceiling fans have a sleek and sophisticated style with minimalist lines and ornamentation. They offer unique styles and finishes that match best if your home has a modern-theme.
