Use our Rise over Run calculator to Figure the Slope of your Ceiling

Do you have a sloped or vaulted ceiling? Unsure whether you need a sloped canopy kit for your ceiling fans? You're at the right place.

If you have a flat ceiling, you don't need a sloped ceiling kit adapter. However, demand is increasing for higher, more steeply angled ceilings in the home. To help meet the needs of more homeowners, ceiling fan manufacturers offer a sloped ceiling kit adapter for most fans. However, you need to figure the pitch (angle) of your ceiling to tell if you need a sloped canopy kit. While it depends on the manufacturer and the model, most ceiling fans can handle a slightly steep ceiling out of the box. For example, Minka-Aire Fans with a universal hanging system can be hung from ceilings with a pitch up to 29 degrees. A sloped ceiling adapter kit allows these fans to be used in homes with up to a 45 degree pitch. Fanimation Fans with a sloped ceiling kit adapter can be used for a slope up to 52 degrees.

Simply fill in the form below to figure the slope of your ceiling.
