Ceiling fans: stylish and efficient

Innovative & Energy-Efficient Technology

Our modern designs help create a stylish ambience in homes and commercial premises that is both practical and elegant at the same time. We offer extensive ranges of fans from leading brands, including Westinghouse, Hunter, Fanimation, and CasaFan.

While our modern ceiling fans are relatively compact, their power motors allow them to reach a higher torque. This means the speed that is required for ideal air circulation is reached quicker, but with less motor noise. With optional remote controls, the fans and their features can be controlled from any point of your house, business, or commercial space. Fan speed, rotation direction, lighting, dimmer, and many other settings offer you a variety of ways to create your ideal indoor climate.

The combination of the size of the room as well as the size and features of the fan play an important role in regulating room temperature and ventilation. For rooms of more than 35 square metres, for example, we recommend the use of several fans to provide optimal ventilation. This helps to avoid hot or cold spots within the room and provide comfortable conditions throughout the space.

Our fans use modern technology to eliminate noise and vibration. This is a huge step forward from older styles of ceiling fans where resonance sounds could be distracting. These resonance sounds are created when a fan’s support elements are in contact with the plaster or wood in the ceiling. Traditional style ceiling fans would cause the timber or ceiling to “hum“ like the strings of a guitar. To prevent this problem, we recommend mounting ceiling fans to cross beams, poles or supporting elements. If installing the fan to a suspended ceiling is the only option, the fan should be mounted to the suspended ceiling and the actual ceiling, as well, in order to interlock the resonating surface and eliminate the vibrations.

Models fitting any room size

In order to match the dimensions of the room we advise you to take a look around our website. The bigger the room, the bigger the fans. This recommendation, however, only applies to rooms with a size of up to 35 square metres living or office space, as mention before. The height of the room also plays a major role, because the efficient coverage increases downwards. When purchasing the fitting fan it is important to make note of the rotation speeds the motor can reach. That way too much air circulation can be prevented, as it leads to too much cooling of the body or additional strains of skin and eyes. That is why we recommend choosing an adequately sized fan or putting up several fans in larger rooms in order to have better control and more options. Details about the air flow help with decision about the fitting device, the bigger the room is, the more air has to be circulated. Generally, most of our model provide more than 13,000 m3 air flow per hour.

Extra flat fans for low ceilings

Suspended and low ceilings pose a particular challenge for the installation of ceiling fans. On one hand you do not want to negatively influence the atmosphere in your home, office or your restaurant with a fan that is hanging too low, on the other hand you still need an efficient way of ventilating. Thanks to their construction, which was specifically designed with low ceilings in mind, extra flat fans tap their full potential even though the space between fan and blades is much smaller. The Fanaway model for instance is equipped with retractable blades that automatically fold out through the use of centrifugal force and begin to efficiently circulate air. On top of that the model comes with an integrated ceiling light, that way the fan is converted to a fashionable lamp when it is not in use.

Saving heating costs with fans

Fans are not only useful for ventilation during the hot seasons, but also help reduce heating costs in winter. It is a given fact that warm air rises upwards, pushing aside cold air mass. In conventional homes without fans this warm air builds up at ceiling level, and more and more warm air needs to be produced by the heater in order to keep the temperature on the same level.

Ceiling fans however mix the air masses and circulate them. Most fans have a forward and reverse function, the latter was specifically developed for dealing with cold temperatures. Sometimes also referred to as “winter mode“, the air is sucked in by the fan from the ground when the reverse setting is selected, so that warm air will be pushed from the ceiling down along the walls.

When the fan is in operation, the warm air stays and circulates inside the room, the heater does not have to work as much to reach and keep a temperature that feels comfortable. Due to better insulation and energy-saving concepts in new buildings it is particularly recommended to use fans for a more efficient ventilation in insulated homes. In 2013 on average heating costs for heating with oil amount to about 1.150 Euro, with district heating to 1.507 Euro and gas to 1.300 Euro for a living space of 100 square metres.
