Extension Rod | AMELIA

These extension downrods for the Amelia fan by Faro Barcelona let you lower the Amelia ceiling fan under a high ceiling. Faro designs them specially as an accessory for this model designed by Héctor Serrano, in eleven lengths and three finishes.

A 26 mm diameter steel downrod

Each downrod is made of steel, 26 mm in diameter. It comes in matt white, matt black and matt grey. White and black match the two finishes of the Amelia fan, for a consistent installation from ceiling to blades. Matt grey offers a more neutral, discreet alternative.

Eleven lengths are offered: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 cm, then 1 m, 1.20 m, 1.50 m and 1.80 m. This steel fan downrod replaces the short downrod supplied with the appliance, which Faro gives as 10 to 20 cm.

Choosing the right length

A ceiling fan moves air more effectively when its blades are neither too close to the ceiling nor too close to people's heads. Under a high ceiling, an extension downrod brings the appliance back to a comfortable height. To choose the length, start from the ceiling height, subtract the height you want below the blades and the height of the fan itself: 27 cm without light, 40 cm with the cone and 48 cm with the ball.

If you are hesitating between two lengths, the shorter one is often the easiest to install. The Amelia fan instructions remain the reference for fitting the downrod.

For living rooms and attic spaces

These downrods are useful in a high-ceilinged living room, a mezzanine, a loft or a room under the roof timbers, where a fan fixed too high would lose effectiveness. Faro offers them for the Amelia fan and pairs the 30 cm downrod with its recessed versions.

Fitting and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. For maintenance, a soft, dry cloth is enough; avoid abrasive products that would mark the matt finish.
