This type of a fan comes with features like three or four blades, which are generally made of metal or plastic. Ceiling fan blades are generally mounted on the side, above or under the motor. Along with the blades, a standard ceiling fan has metal arms, a rod, and a tube that attaches the mounting brackets of a fan to the motor housing. It allows these fans to remain stationary on both flat and sloped ceilings.
Low profile ceiling fans
Also known as hugging ceiling fans or recessed ceiling fans, they attach to a mounting bracket. It is different than a standard ceiling fan which is generally pole mounted. These types of ceiling fans are ideal for rooms less than 8 to 9 feet tall. Since these fans are fixed closer to the ceiling, the airflow might not be as high as a standard ceiling fan. In other words, its cooling capacity can be much less than that of other high-profile ceiling fans. Therefore, if you live in a warmer region, a low profile ceiling fan may not be a suitable option for you.
Dual motor ceiling fan
