When choosing a ceiling fan for an outdoor space, pick a model with the appropriate rating according to your space. Otherwise, technical difficulties with the fan can arise. For example, if the fan isn't rated for the proper type of outdoor use and it's exposed to humidity or rain, pieces of the fan could rust and impact operation.
Our Fans can be broken down into two general categories damp rated and wet rated. Use the following information to help you determine which outdoor ceiling fan may best suit your outdoor space
Fans for covered outdoor Areas
Are designed for use in covered outdoor spaces, like covered patios or porches that aren't directly exposed to water but may come in contact with humidity. These fans withstand exposure to moisture and indirect exposure to sun light and UV.
When selecting the fan for covered areas is advisable to consider some factors. While it is true that, by design will not have any problem to install them in humid environments or in coastal areas, degradation of appearance can be remarkable. Despite the high quality materials are produced, can vary in appearance depending on the intensity of the environmental load where they are exposed which directly affect their longevity and appearance. Our fans brushed aluminum, have greater resistance to weathering. Although the aluminum surface degrades the environment, the material is much more resistant to oxidation, salt and other weather than other material conditions.
Finishes such as gloss white or titanium are not recommended for outdoor use.
Another important consideration is the blades. Over time the blades of laminated wood can be bent and open. Although the change of the blades is easy for outdoor recommend injected plastic blades used in our fans Velo, and Velo Hugger Pensi.
