Ceiling fans come in various sizes, typically measured by their diameter in inches across the fan motor and blades.
When selecting the right ceiling fan for your space, consider the following:
Area dimensions: Allow for a clearance of 12 to 18 inches from the fan blade tips to the nearest wall to ensure optimal air circulation and wind strength. Consider features like cove lighting and floor-to-ceiling cupboards that may affect clearance requirements.
Ceiling height: For ceilings 2.4m or lower, opt for low profile fans. For ceilings exceeding 3m, consider an extended downrod to facilitate better airflow distribution to the floor. Browse our wide selection of ceiling fans suitable for any ceiling height.
Blade count: Choose a fan with 5 or 6 blades for larger areas to distribute airflow more effectively. However, note that more blades or longer blades increase the fan motor's load, potentially lowering RPM.
Sloped ceilings: If your ceiling has a slant or slope, send us a picture for personalized advice as installing a fan on such ceilings may require additional accessories.
