Flush Mount Outdoor Ceiling Fans For Very Low Front Porch or Back Patios

Flush mount outdoor ceiling fans provide a nice summer breeze on a warm day.

Ceiling fans outdoors can be used decoratively or for a purpose.

Manufacturers design the outdoor fans to withstand dust, cold, heat and humidity.

The blades and motor are capable of resisting rotting and rusting as well.

There are many ceiling fan companies on the market today that offer a lifetime warranty for their products.

If you are concerned about the ceiling fan being too low on your front porch or back patio, then there are also flush mounted outdoor ceiling fans.

If you have a very low front porch awning or if your back patio coverage is low, then a flush mounted ceiling fan might be a better option.

This type of outdoor ceiling fan is also known as a hugger fan.

A ceiling fan that is flush mounted to the ceiling has a minimum distance between the mounting and the blades on the fan.

This type of mounting also prevents the light from being too low for maximum coverage.

Minka Aire Concept II

A very model of ceiling fans is The White Hugger from Minka Aire Concept II™. The White Hugger is a very Georgian style ceiling fan that would look perfect on the front porch of a southern style home with rocking chairs sitting underneath.

It also has a modern look to it so that it will work in any setting. The fan comes with a remote control for easy access and a light kit.

Monte Carlo Studio

The Monte Carlo Studio ceiling fan is also a perfect touch for a southern-style home. The Supreme Fan is all white which will help conform to any location.

However, the Aberdeen Ceiling Fan is also available which will add a Tuscan touch, giving your home an Italian flair.

You can purchase a white finish or a antique silver with brown blades, depending on the model of your choice.

All of the models will go well in any home and they are energy star approved, so that you are saving more money on your power bill.

Modern Altus Hugger

Another popular model is the Modern Altus Hugger Ceiling Fan. The model number ALTHUG-52-AL is perfect for a backyard patio or even a front porch.

It is made of brushed aluminum so it will pick up the sun rays and add a touch of light to the area that it is in. It is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so you can always use it indoors if you need to.

Special Features

As mentioned earlier, the Minka, Monte Carlo, and the Modern Altus are all very popular brands in the outdoor ceiling fan industry. Each brand varies from $100 to $200. Hunter, Ellington, and Emerson are also popular brands for flush mount outdoor ceiling fans.

A flush mounted ceiling fan is necessary for specific regulations. It is stated that the typical fan blades should not be any lower than seven inches from the floor. If your ceiling is lower than eight feet, then a hugger fan is necessary.

Another determining factor is where the fan is located. If it is positioned over a kitchen table or bed, then the fan will not need as much clearance room as opposed to an area that people walk under.

Also keep in mind that if you purchase a light kit, then it will add six to ten inches or more to the height of the fan.

The slight downside to a flush mount ceiling fan is that the higher blades will decrease the circulation. Hugger fans are less effective as far as wind movement, but they are perfect for low ceilings and minimal space.

When shopping for a flush mount outdoor ceiling fan look for one that has an airflow rating of a 4 or 5. There are probably many stores in your area that sell outdoor ceiling fans. Any home improvement store will usually carry them on their shelves.

Online vendors are also great providers of outdoor ceiling fans. On the websites, you can compare prices, companies, customer reviews, and look at a variety of pictures.
