Conservatory Accessories - Ceiling Fans

Conservatory Ceiling Fans today come in a wide variety of styles, sizes and colors, most can incorporate lighting into the body of the fan , you will be able to find a ceiling fan to fit any application or decor that you might have in mind.

Ceiling fans differ from air conditioners in that they don’t really cool the air. What they do is produce what is known as a cooling effect because of the breeze that they create. This breeze evaporates skin moisture and makes you feel more comfortable.Ceiling fans are the most cost effective way of cooling your conservatory but dont be fooled they are not as good as an air condtioning system.

Basic ceiling fan FAQ's

WHAT SIZE CEILING FAN SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY ROOM ?
76cm/30" blade size for rooms up to 10sq mtrs
105cm/42" blade size for rooms up to 15 sq mtrs
132cm/52" blade size for rooms up to 25 sq mtrs

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE CORRECT DROP ROD LENGTH ?
For optimum air circulation it is most effective to have the blades 2.4m-2.7m above the floor, most fans are supplied with a 4"/100mm drop rod (except the contempra trio). So if your new fan is being installed into a conservatory with an apex roof you shall require a longer drop rod. The longer rods are available in 3 different sizes 12"/18"/24" and there are 10 different finishes, most people choose the drop rod to match the fan finish, but the mix and match approach can be effective too. All longer rods are supplied with a longer wiring lead as standard. See drop section, to order your rod.

HOW DOES A CEILING FAN COOL OR WARM A ROOM ?
Ceiling fans can make a room feel 8 degrees cooler by creating a "wind chill" effect - it does not actually lower the temperature of the room, but instead makes you feel cooler by accelerating the evaporation on your skin. Likewise running one of our fans in reverse you can redistribute the hot air that rises to the ceiling that becomes trapped - thus making the temperature of the room feel warmer.

WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD MY CEILING FAN GO FOR WINTER OR SUMMER ?
Clockwise for winter and counter-clockwise for summer.

HOW CAN I EXPECT TO SAVE ON HEATING/COOLING COSTS BY USING A CEILING FAN ?
A ceiling fan can provide all year round savings. In summer you can save up to 30% on air conditioning, making the room feel cooler. In winter you can save up to 10% on heating costs by reclaiming the hot air trapped near to your ceiling by running your fan in reverse. Savings will vary based on local climate conditions and energy rates.
