Just because you retire to an enclosed patio or porch to enjoy the great outdoors during a balmy summer day doesn’t mean you will encounter the most comfortable environment. Enjoying the fresh air and bursts of greenery can sometimes become unbearable when humidity blankets your delight. However, to avoid this interruption of a beautiful day, an outdoor ceiling fan can become your best friend during the warmer months, easily delivering natural breezes with the scent of dew-kissed grass and fresh spring blooms.
Outdoor ceiling fans are constructed differently from indoor fans because they require the ability to handle locations that become moist or damp. The standards associated with this type of fan are higher than an indoor fan, as these models undergo a series of demanding tests to make sure they are equipped to maintain their quality throughout wet conditions.
As you scan the many different selections decorating the market of outdoor ceiling fans, you will come across a host of attractive potential. It is quite possible to enter a search for an addition to your enclosed outdoor space just to completely change directions with an unsuspecting model. Below are a few options to consider before approaching this type of home improvement project:
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo has gained a reputation for both indoor and outdoor ceiling fans, yet there is something about the impressive transformations in outdoor décor that this line is able to accomplish. For starters, let's consider the high performance of the 172 x 20mm torque-induction motor of the Esspresso White Finish (or Roman Bronze) Grand Isle model that offers a 13-degree blade pitch that delivers a high level of air circulation. Besides the limited lifetime warranty, you may also look forward to the convenient remote with reverse and down light feature, as well as the fascinating 3 x 40-watt candelabra light kit.
If you wish to create a nautical scene in your patio, consider the inviting teak wood display of the Yachtsman, which is light kit adaptable. A heavy-duty 188 x 25mm torque-induction motor powers the 14-degree blade pitch known for impressive movement of air. Many consumers have enjoyed this selection due to the balanced motor and blades that eliminates the hassle of wobbling. The Roman Bronze and Brushed Steel finish are accompanied by rustproof stainless steel hardware.
Fanimation
While you'll be looking at a price tag well over $500 for the Fanimation Escalade Ceiling Fan, it certainly doesn’t slack on uniqueness. While this oddly shaped ceiling fan strays from the traditional four to five outstretched blades, this selection is configured with 20" blades that resemble a round, overhead cooling fan similar to the kinds seen in kitchens. With three speeds and a light dimmer, a convenient handheld remote control joins wall control.
Minka Aire
The Oil Rubbed Bronze Minka Aire Gyro Outdoor Ceiling Fan can withstand the dampness of the outdoors, while efficiently moving air with the help of twin turbofans. A 100-watt halogen light fixture provides illumination that joins the dual adjustable cages that enhances the function and performance of this unit. A complete wall control and transmitter accompanies this particular model.
