While there are a lot of short people in this world, there are just as many tall. And…while there are a lot of cathedral ceilings, there are just as many rooms in a house that are not. Everything in a home is not always created equal. Meaning?
There are so many taller people who have foregone purchasing a ceiling fan due to the height of their ceiling when it is not necessary. With a little investigation they would have discovered the world of low profile ceiling fans.
So exactly what are these fans? A hugger ceiling fan is built to provide more freedom from the fan to the floor by shortening the distance between ceiling and fan blades. The majority of these types of fans will have approximately eight inches between the ceiling and the fan base. This is why they are described as hugger fans - they “hug” the ceiling.
Most of these ceiling fans have no center rod and the base is mounted on the ceiling, placing the fan blades higher up allowing more area space in the room. However if so desired, you can purchase one with a metal rod that is smaller than normal providing an adjustment option depending upon your preference of distance from ceiling to the floor.
A few prominent manufacturers are Emerson, Hunter, Monte Carlo and Westinghouse.
Best Three Hugger Fans
Hugger fans are beautifully designed to style your room and add zing to its décor. These fans have the feature that enables them to rotate both ways: clockwise and counter- clockwise direction. This increases its utility since in summer counter-clock wise rotation is adopted for fast and vigorous air movement and during winter clockwise rotation is preferred as the air will circulate a lot and bring in warm air inside the house.
Some other designer features include lighting that add glamour to it and brings in a new look and feel. Pocket wise too, these fans have an edge over the others as they are economical and power saving.

Before You Buy
An area that once was scarce-to-none in the fan market is now saturated with designs that are stylish and sophisticated and provide bold, beautiful colors.
However, one item that does need to be taken in consideration is that unless it is constructed properly, they will not be as effectual compared to standard ceiling fans due to the fact that the air circulation will be slower. Buying a better built ceiling fan will take the pressure off of this concern.
To say the least, installing these ceiling fans in the kitchen, the bathroom, the den and even in your bedroom, will be a blessing in offering that additional comfort that no one, regardless of room height, should have to sacrifice.
