For Plain ceilings – There is no special fitment or installation required. We provide all the Rods & hardware inside the box. The Default height is 4-6” rod. Extra rod lengths can be fabricated, should it be required.
5. Do Luxaire Fans require special installation for False ceilings and are there different types of false ceilings?
A false ceiling may be made of different materials like PoP, Gypsum, Solid Wood, Plywood, veneer, metal, or even glass.
Luxaire Fans are the heaviest in the market, made of high-quality metal and real wood (in most cases) and many of them are remote-controlled fans with different rod thicknesses and hardware. These are easier to maintain if one plans for the international system – an accurate method for a fail-proof solution. If a wooden ceiling is made of MDF or thinner plywood – still this form of installation is required.

There are permanently sealed bearings and double lacquered surfaces which ensure a long-lasting Fan finish and practically, a maintenance-free product. Use only feather touch and soft lint-free cloth for dusting wooden and acrylic blade fans. Use a slightly damp cloth if the dust is too thick but ensure it stays dry. Any Cleaning with chemicals would spoil the wood, fade the color or scratch the body of these Designer fans. After cleaning fans, always ensure that the light caps are tightly fit to avoid future breakage.
