Does anyone think that this can flush mount or close to the ceiling? Going in an 8' ceiling height room thank you

The blades on tho fan are heavy and sharp. It will not flush mount, and it should only be installed well out of anyone's reach. I bought five, and they are nice fans, but all are mounted 15' off floor level. I would not recommend that they be installed on an 8' ceiling regardless of mounting method.

I do not think fan be flush mounted. Ceiling to bottom of light height is very close to 18inches.

I don't believe it can be installed as a flush mount, you would loose the affect of the crystals on top. It could be hung from one link on the chain, making the chain one link long. Hope this helps. It's a very pretty fixture and I'm glad I purchased it.

The way you see it pictured is considered flush mount but not using the extension rod. They do make true "flush mount fans" but they come down just as far if not further off the ceiling. This particular one really comes down pretty far so I would only recommend it if you have a 7 1/2 foot ceiling or more or in an area that would not cause injury to someone that is taller. I love ours and it is beautiful looking. Make sure you have enough clearance were you intend to install it with or without the extension rod

I mounted the Hunter 28724 in a room with a 7' 6" ceiling and the clearance is good. I utilized the 3" downrod (as opposed to the flush mount configuration). I am 6' 2" and the height is NOT a problem.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.

I use mine with a normal 8 foot ceiling and have no problem. I'm 6'5" for reference.

the unit comes with a flush mount, but a short (6") ball and rod hang from that to which the fan itself attaches. From ceiling to bottom of fan unit, under the blades, is about 14". I bought the globe lights and from ceiling to base of the light is about 16".

As designed, the system will lower to 8 feet FROM the ceiling. If you try to MacGyver something to lower further, it MIGHT work, but do you trust it enough to be walking/parking under it at that point? Personally, I wouldn't do it.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod. My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low. The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

While it does not flush mount, it sits so close to the ceiling that it would probably work in a place where you'd typically want a flush-mount fan. Even with the light, it only hangs down about 11 inches from the ceiling in total. I have other more traditional flush-mount fans with light kits that hang down farther (14-17 inches).

I dont think this fan would work for flush mount esp since it has a second light the shines UP on the ceiling

Don't think it would look good hung on chain, really made for flush mount, I've installed two, however, one on a slanted ceiling, one on an A frame ceiling.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

If you mount it on a ceiling I don't think you will be able to point it straight down. I use mine in my garage; they are mounted on the walls and come on when I pull in.

You can put it all the way to the top of a 7.5 foot ceiling/wall. The bottom of the unit is supposed to be about 30-39 inches off the floor.... an 8 foot ceiling would fit within that range probably as well...
