Fan Size:
For maximum efficiency choose a fan to fit your room size. In a room up to 75 square feet like a bathroom choose a 29"- 36" fan. Medium sized rooms up to 144 square feet can fit ceiling fans from 36"- 42". The larger bedrooms and family rooms around 225 square feet work most efficient with fans that are 50"- 54".

Height from the ceiling:
Place the fan higher than 7 feet above the floor in the middle of the room for maximum comfort, circulation, safety and aesthetics.

Optimal placement would be either 8 or 9 feet from the floor.

Blades:
Fan blades determine the amount of air being circulated throughout the room. The fan blade brackets should be positioned to hold the blade at a 12-15 degree angle for optimal circulation and be weighed and matched as a balanced set to avoid having your fan wobble.

Blades should be made with wood or acrylic and be sealed and treated to resist humidity. Ask your ALA showroom representative for any additional questions on fan blades or angles.
