The right size for floor fans

We offer floor fans for small and big rooms, high and tall ceilings. Usually a floor fan covers an area of about 40 to 50 m2 or 100 m3. The Energy Smart floor fan by Vornado has an airflow of up to 1113 m3, with up to 30 m linear airstream. Like most of our floor fans this model is designed with an appealing exterior and suitable for living rooms. A floor fan for use at home is generally small, quiet and looks more appealing than an industrial floor fan.

Since the fan stand out from the interior, it is important to select a design that you will find appealing all the year round and that fits your style. The more you like the way your fan looks, the more obvious of a position you are going to choose to set it up. Tip: Make sure the lead wire is as long as possible before finalizing the purchase to ensure greater flexibility.

There are devices with a more practical design and those who are almost a piece of art. In order to cover all possible applications at home, a floor fan should have more than just a sufficient airflow performance.

A retro-style floor fan or unique housing will also enhance the interior in restaurants or other representative rooms.

Quiet floor fan

Floor fans are usually positioned near the user and should be operating as quietly as possible so as to not disturb work or sleep. The perceived noise level decreases the further the device is away from the user. 50 dB(A) or less are an acceptable sound level at home or around the office, so make sure to check the item description beforehand.

Where to position the floor fan

In order to prevent injury, fires or damage of the device, place your floor fan on a flat and dry surface without any dust or lint. That means you can also put it on a coffee table etc. as long as the surface is even and steady. The lead wire is laid in a way that it won’t be a tripping hazard. It should not disturb the footway, and should not be placed underneath the carpet, other appliances or furniture. Fan and cable must not be in contact with water, oil or heat. Avoid placing the floor fan near windows due prevent solar radiation, humidity and rain. Fans without splashing water protection are generally not suitable for outdoor spaces and rooms with increased moisture such as the kitchen or bathroom. Furthermore, unprotected units should not be used in the garage or basement.
Oscillating fans should have enough free space around them so the unit can swivel from one side to the other undisturbed. Lose small objects and textiles such as fringes on couches should not be within the air intake area. The protective grille must not be covered because this will impact the airflow. Even though the protective grille is there to prevent any accidents with the fan wheel, still avoid any contact with it, particularly if you don’t have any shoes on. Children and pets should be kept away from the fans.
