You need to consider several factors while purchasing a ceiling fan. Lighting is a feature that you may want along with your ceiling fan. Ceiling fans can incorporate lighting fixtures with a single bulb or multiple bulbs and this lighting can be directional (up, down or adjustable) or simply decorative.
The kind of lighting fixture to be included in the ceiling fan depends on the place where the ceiling fan would be fixed. For example, if you will use the ceiling fan in kitchen or bathroom, good light would be required and if you will use it in bedroom or dinning room, low or dim light would be required.
In traditional ceiling fan the mode of control was pulling chains, light switches and fan direction switches. These features are still popular and available on ceiling fans. However, manufacturers are now offering hand-held remote control to adjust the fan speed, direction and light level. Some remote controls allow multiple fans to be controlled from a single controller. Make sure that the controls you require are compatible with the fan that you purchase.
A ceiling fan according to the interiors of your room can be easily found. You can get a ceiling fan to go with themes like Contemporary, Victorian, Sports, Arts, Crafts and many more.
Ceiling fans can be provided in several finish types including decorative metal finishes (chrome, pewter, brass, bronze, gold, antique and more), wood finishes (cherry, oak, teak, pine, etc.) and various painted finishes in every color of the rainbow. For assurance that your ceiling fan finish will be durable, look for a guarantee provided by the manufacturers.
The design of a ceiling fan could change based on the kind of blades used in it. Some of the patterns in which the blades of a ceiling fan could be made are: palm fronds, boat sails and baseball bats.
In most of the homes, ceiling is at a distance of 7-8 feet from the floor and you can easily install a ceiling fan in that. In case, the distance between them is less than 8 feet then you can go for low profile fans so that you can save yourself from blades of fan. Therefore, measure the space between your ceiling and floor before purchasing the fan.
If your ceiling is more than 9-feet tall, optional extension down rods can be purchased for mounting some ceiling fans so that the blades remain at the optimal distance from the floor. If the ceiling where your fan will be mounted is sloped (or angled) rather than flat, special mounting systems are available for ceiling fans to enable the fan to be installed so that the blade rotation is parallel to the floor.
