A 72-inch steel downrod in a rich Rubi finish, designed to lower your Matthews Gerbar ceiling fan to the perfect height for dramatic ceilings and statement spaces.
This downrod from Matthews Fans is crafted for ceilings that demand presence. Its 72-inch length brings your fan down to where it can move air effectively, while the Rubi finish adds a touch of warmth. Made of durable steel and field cuttable, it offers flexibility during installation. Whether you're outfitting a great room or a two-story entry, this downrod ensures your fan performs beautifully.
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
- Sloped ceilings, as this downrod is sloped-ceiling compatible
- Indoor and covered outdoor spaces, rated for wet locations
- Homes with Matthews Gerbar ceiling fans that need a longer drop
- Custom installations where the downrod can be cut to the exact length needed
Not ideal for
- Rooms with standard 8-ft ceilings, where a 72-inch downrod would place the fan too low
- Fans that require a threaded downrod, as this one is non-threaded and double-pinned
Style and finish
The Rubi finish is a deep, warm red that adds a distinctive accent to your ceiling fan. It pairs well with both modern and traditional interiors, bringing a touch of sophistication to the room.
