A 48-inch steel downrod for Matthews Atlas ceiling fans, finished in brushed brass, designed to lower your fan to the perfect height in rooms with dramatic or high ceilings.
This downrod is part of the Matthews Downrod Collection, crafted to pair with your Atlas ceiling fan for balanced airflow and a striking visual presence. Made of durable steel with a brushed brass finish, it's field cuttable and double pinned for a secure installation. Whether you're outfitting a two-story great room or a vaulted bedroom, this downrod ensures your fan hangs at the ideal level for both performance and style.
Best for
- Great rooms and two-story entryways with ceilings 10 ft or higher, where a standard downrod leaves the fan too high for effective airflow
- Vaulted or cathedral ceilings in living rooms and bedrooms, to position the fan at a comfortable height
- Covered or uncovered outdoor spaces, as it's rated for wet locations and can handle direct exposure to rain and snow
- Replacing a shorter downrod on an existing Atlas fan to improve air circulation and visual balance
Not ideal for
- Rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings, where a 48-inch downrod would place the fan too low
- Fans that use a threaded downrod connection, as this downrod is non-threaded
Style and finish
The brushed brass finish offers a warm, metallic sheen that complements traditional and transitional interiors. It pairs beautifully with wood blades and other brass accents, adding a touch of sophistication to your ceiling fan.
