Fans
Floor fans and ceiling fans are used for a variety of purposes, including providing a cooling effect in warm weather, circulating air in a room, and creating air movement that can make a room feel larger and more spacious. They are also often used to reduce energy costs and provide ambient lighting. Here at LightStyles, a local lighting store located in Cornelius, North Carolina, we offer a variety of ceiling fan styles and designs from the best manufacturers. Shop with us today!
STEPS TO FIND THE RIGHT CEILING FAN SIZE
1. Measure the room’s square footage: Measure the length and width of the room in feet and then multiply the two measurements together to get the square footage.
2. Calculate the size of the ceiling fan: Use the square footage of the room to calculate the fan size you need. Fans are categorized by the diameter of their blade span, which is the distance from one end of the fan blades to the other. For rooms up to 75 square feet, use a fan with a 29- to 36-inch blade span. For rooms between 75 and 144 square feet, choose a fan with a 36- to 42-inch blade span. For rooms 144 to 225 square feet, use a fan with a 50- to 54-inch blade span.
3. Consider the height of the ceiling: If your ceiling is low, look for a flush-mount fan, which is designed to hug the ceiling and take up less space. If you have a higher ceiling, you may want to look for a fan with a downrod, which allows you to adjust the fan’s height.
4. Look for additional features: Depending on the room’s needs, you may want to look for a fan with features like light kits, remote control operation, or timer functions.
