What Are The
Different Types Of Ceiling Fan?
|
Ceiling fans are a great choice of light fixtures that can
be used for functional as well as decorative purposes. Apart
from adding style to your space, ceiling fans actually lower
your energy bills by circulating air throughout the rooms.
However, since there are different types of ceiling fans
available in the market, learning about the features of
different ceiling fan types can be highly beneficial in
helping you choose the perfect ceiling fan.
The Different Types of Ceiling Fan
#1: Standard Ceiling Fan
Standard ceiling fans are one of the most common types of
ceiling fan that feature a variety of operating systems,
five blades and a light. Available in antique bronze, white,
black, antique bronze and natural finishes, these ceiling
fans are versatile and can match almost any décor. One of
the greatest benefits of installing this type of ceiling
fans is that they can be customized to fit the décor of your
home in a better way. While the light has shades that can be
easily be changed, these fans can also be fitted using
different accessories such as customized blades, pull chain
, remote control or different light kits. However, before
buying these accessories it is important that you check the
manufacturer’s specification to ensure that the accessories
you buy will work with your fan. A standard ceiling fan can
be mounted on both sloped and flat ceilings by using a down
rod- metal pipe that attaches the mounting bracket of the
fan to its motor. This type of ceiling fan is an ideal
choice for indoor rooms that feature ceilings that are about
nine feet tall.
#2: Flush mount Ceiling fans
Also known as hugger fans or low profile ceiling fans’,
this type of ceiling fans are installed directly onto the
mounting bracket instead of using a down rod. Therefore,
this type of ceiling fans is best suited for homes that have
ceilings that are less than eight inches tall. Moreover,
since the blades of a low profile ceiling fan is close to
the ceiling, it cannot move air terrifically on its own.
However, since it is a useful tool that can help move heated
air throughout the room, using this type of ceiling fan can
help you run your HVAC system less frequently. Hugger fans
though are installed close the ceiling allow easy
customization just like standard ceiling fans.
#3: Remote controlled ceiling Fans
A remote control ceiling allows you to adjust lighting, fan
speeds and direction of the blade with a press of a button.
This type of ceiling fan is great option for those people
who are not tall enough and find it difficult to reach the
pull chords of the traditional ceiling fan. A ideal choice
for room that have high ceiling, this type of ceiling fans
can also be convenient for auditoriums, shops, large event
rooms or restaurants.
#4: Dual motor ceiling Fans
As the name suggests, a dual motor ceiling fan has two
motors and feature a central motor housing that is connected
to two horizontal rods. Each rod features its own fan head
that is adjustable. Dual motor ceiling fans can make a
strong decorative statement in a dining room, living room or
patio. Additionally, since these ceiling fans have the
ability to circulate air over a larger area, they prove to
be a great choice for both indoors and outdoors use.
#5: Damp Ceiling Fans
Damp ceiling fans are an ideal option for all those people
living in humid locations or in areas that receive frequent
rainfall. Equipped with all weather blades that are
resistant to wrapping and motors that can resist moisture
and humidity damage, damp ceiling fans are available in
exotic styles and are useful rooms or outdoor areas that do
not have high humidity or other precipitation. Popular rooms
that are best suited for a damp ceiling fan include
sunrooms, covered porches or patios.
#6: Agricultural Ceiling Fans
Equipped with sealed motors, agricultural ceiling fans
prevent the accumulation of dust and moisture and are a
great choice of fan to be used in poultry buildings, barns,
greenhouses and covered porches. Made of heavy duty
materials, this type of ceiling fan is capable of moving a
lot of air and can withstand harsh environments. Installing
these ceiling fans in an agricultural setting not only help
improve air quality, but also help reduce energy cost by
nearly 20 percent.
#7: Wet Ceiling Fans
Although most wet ceiling fans are usually made of palm
leaves, bamboo or various other natural elements, they can
also be constructed from more weather and industrial proof
material. This type of ceiling fan features all weather
blades and motors that help them running smoothly even in
high humidity and moisture ridden conditions. In addition,
wet ceiling fans can handle snow or rain and are an ideal
choice for homes constructed near the beaches.
#8: Commercial Ceiling Fans
A commercial ceiling fan is an ideal choice of ceiling fan
for classrooms, restaurants, retail stores or other places
of business. When installed in spaces that have ceilings
between 10 – 25 feet or in wider rooms, this type of ceiling
fan help keep the space cool in the summer as well as help
push the heat around the room during the winters.
#9: Industrial Ceiling Fan
Equipped with heavy duty motor, industrial ceiling fan
provide higher air delivery and are a perfect choice for
very large areas. While fans with straight blades are
suitable for very high ceilings, those with curved blades
can be mounted up to 25 feet. Industrial ceiling fans are a
great choice for gymnasiums, warehouses and other large
areas.
#10: Energy Star Ceiling Fans
Energy star ceiling fans are equipped with energy efficient
motors that allow them to operate on less energy. Available
in standard and low profile options, this type of ceiling
fans can help you save money on your energy bills as well as
provide environment benefits when compared to its other
counterparts.
With so many types of ceiling fans available, considering
the area, ceiling height, humidity and weather conditions of
a given space can go a long way in helping you find the
perfect ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor use. |
