A 48-inch down rod for Matthews-Gerbar ceiling fans, extending your fan to suit high ceilings.
This Matthews-Gerbar down rod is a metal extension that lets you mount your compatible ceiling fan at the ideal height for rooms with tall or sloped ceilings. The polished chrome finish offers a sleek, reflective look that pairs well with modern and contemporary interiors. It is field cuttable, so you can adjust the length to fit your specific ceiling height.
Best for
- Living rooms and great rooms with ceilings 10 ft or higher, where a standard down rod leaves the fan too high for effective airflow.
- Two-story foyers and stairwells, providing the extra drop needed to position the fan at an effective height.
- Bedrooms with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, allowing the fan to be lowered to a comfortable and efficient level.
- Covered patios and porches (damp-rated), extending the fan to clear tall furniture or architectural details.
Not ideal for
- Rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings, where a shorter down rod or flush mount is typically more appropriate.
- Fans that are not listed as compatible with Matthews-Gerbar down rods - check your fan model before purchasing.
Style and finish
The polished chrome finish is bright and mirror-like, adding a touch of modern elegance. It complements fixtures with chrome, nickel, or stainless steel accents and suits contemporary, transitional, and industrial design schemes.
