Types of Ceiling Fans

The typical ceiling fan features a simple design with blades attached to a central motor. Standard ceiling fans come in various sizes and styles to suit different room dimensions and aesthetics.

Low-profile ceiling fans are ideal for rooms with low ceilings. These fans are designed to be flush-mounted. They offer efficient and ergonomic air circulation without the need for an extended downrod.

There are ceiling fans manufactured especially for the outdoors, too. Designed to withstand the elements, outdoor ceiling fans are perfect for patios, porches, and outdoor living spaces. They are constructed with materials that can resist moisture and are equipped with weather-resistant blades.

Finally, for larger spaces and increased airflow, dual-motor ceiling fans feature two independent fan heads on a single mounting system. They provide superior air circulation and can be an eye-catching centerpiece in a room.

Ceiling Fan Features to Know

There are many parts that go into a ceiling fan, but we want to share a few features that play big roles. Beginning with the blades, ceiling fan blades can be made of various materials, including wood, metal, or plastic. The angle of the blades is also significant, as fans with a steeper blade pitch tend to move more air but may also produce more noise.
