Posted by elutzik on March 12, 2010 | No Comments

Nowadays many people think of the ceiling fan as an object of the past, outdated, old, with no utilities and especially without any adornment. It’s true that its appearance is not very appealing, but his role makes it one of the most popular home accessories. 5cy60rb-500

We may not be so attracted with its appearance, but in those hot summer days and nights, we consider it our best friend. Many people think that is even better than the air conditioning. The fan simply puts air moving in all directions just enough to make a space comfortable.

When buying ceiling fans, you should take some things in consideration, such as: manufacturers names, such as Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans, engine size, slope / tilt blades, quality finishes on every surface. Don’t hesitate to ask a seller’s advice. You should also take in consideration the place where you want it installed or the size.

The rule says that the device size is chosen depending on room size. For a room up to 10 square meters is indicated  a fan of about 1 meter and over 35 square meters are ideal devices of 4 / 4, 5 meters. It also indicated that the blades should be at a distance of 215-270 cm from the floor. Not to mention that you can cover it in bamboo, textile upholstery identical to the one on the same sofa, metal or paint.

So what are you waiting for? Go buy a fan before the summer begins.
