Ceiling Fan Tips from Shack Design Group
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.
