Ceiling Fan Tips from Shack Design Group

The Carrera Grande Ceiling Fan from Emerson.

When choosing your ceiling fan, remember that you’re choosing both a cost-effective appliance as well as a work of art. Ceiling fans are among the first things noticed upon entering a room and should be picked based on both decorative aesthetics and the fan’s performance. For a great example, see the Emerson Carrera Grande Ceiling Fan.

For maximum airflow and optimal performance, be sure to take into account these four basic guidelines when choosing your fan:
  • Area of Blade: The length, width, and surface area of the blades greatly effects airflow and needs to be matched with your needs.

  • Revolutions per minute (RPM): With multiple factors involved, the more rotations a fan performs in a minute does not necessarily mean greater airflow.

  • Blade Span: The reaching diameter of the fan’s blades is imperative to the fan’s performance.

  • Blade Pitch: A greater amount of airflow will be achieved with a greater blade angle (pitch); however, a more powerful motor is required for optimum blade pitch.

    Can I use a ceiling fan outside?

    The Torrento Fan from Fanimation.

    You can use a ceiling fan anywhere you have a ceiling. Covered decks, porches and gazebos make great spots for a fan. Underwriter's Laboratory lists fans for outdoor use are two types of listings: "damp location" and "wet location". Damp location is suitable for most outdoor uses while wet location is intended for more severe situations.

    Shack Design Group has a plentiful supply of both damp and wet ceiling fans for purchase. To see available damp rated fans, click here. To see available wet rated fans, click here! check back soon because our search engine seems to have a glitch!.
