What are the different types of ceiling fans?

Many houses and business use ceiling fans for both functional and decorative purposes. Ceiling fans come in various designs from simple to complex. With so many designs to choose from a perfect ceiling fan for almost any space. Some ceiling fans have connected light elements and simple lighting sets are also available if the fan you choose does not contain lighting.

Simple patterns can be switched on and off by pulling the cord or inverting the switch. Models that are more sophisticated may have dimmers or even use remote control to set lighting or change the fan speed. If you select the remote control, make sure that the remote control is compatible with the type of fan you buy. Some remote controls are universal, while others are recommended for use only for some fans.

Many ceiling fans offer at least three speeds, although some may offer fourŘi or more. While ceiling fans are often used to keep cool, also the possibility to reverse the movement of the fan to the heat distribution in the colder months.

In addition to typical ceiling fans, there are also ceiling fans specially designed for wet and wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, swimming pool and spa areas, saunas or terraces. They use blades made of weather resistant materials, as well as protected engines and work parts that resist moisture and rust. When buying this type of ceiling fan, look for the seal of the laboratory subscriber (UL) with a wet/humid value.

In addition to functional differences, ceiling fans also differ in style. They may have three, four or five "paddles" or blades. These blades usually range from size from long just over two feet (around 2/3 meters) to a slightly over fourtraces of long (about 1.25 meters). The size and number of blades needed depend on the size of the room the fan cools down.
