Ceiling fan downrod length chart.
For example if your ceiling is 12 feet high and your ceiling fan is 12 inches in height you will need a 24 inch downrod to mount the ceiling fan between eight and nine feet above the floor.
For taller ceilings many fan manufacturers suggest dropping a ceiling fan all the way down to 8 to 9 feet from floor level.
See below to help calculate the ideal downrod length.
However for extra tall ceilings you may need a longer downrod than provided.

Made for rooms with high ceilings typically 8 feet or higher.
For a ceiling below 8 feet we recommend a flushmount or hugger fan.
Check the packaging to see if the downrod is included and note the size.
If your ceiling is at least 8 high you may want to consider a fan with a short downrod rather than a flush mounted fan.
Ceiling height in feet minus 9 includes the fan height downrod length for example if your ceiling is 12 high you will need a 3 downrod to ensure the fan is positioned at the proper height.
