Ceiling fans have been around for centuries. Savvy homeowners use the ceiling fan in every room imaginable. They like the looks, as well as how comfortable ceiling fans they make them feel. Why keep all of this style cooped up inside? Take the ceiling fan outdoors to the patio for a focal point of a great outdoor room. When choosing a ceiling fan, ensure that your patio furniture and the style of home compliments your ceiling fan.

 

Light kits for ceiling fans

Light kits are available for certain Solent ranges, but whether you want a light kit on your ceiling fan or not is left entirely up to you. Having a light kit will brighten your porch area, and will draw attention to your stunning ceiling fan, whereas minimal lighting will create a cosy feeling – it all depends on the ambiance you are trying to create.

Weather-resistant ceiling fans

Although your fan will be under a porch, it is still outdoors and it is going to be exposed to the elements somewhat.  Your fan is going to be exposed to humidity and temperature change, so pay attention to the type of fan you buy and make sure this is taken into consideration.  This is where Solent ceiling fans stand out from other brands, whether your fan is indoors or outdoors, your Solent fan is built to last. Like with any electrical appliance you will have to prevent it from coming into direct contact with water; however, Solent’s aluminium blades are strong enough to avoid corrosion and rust due to their epoxy coating.  Wooden blades are made from good quality Marine-ply wood and they will not bend, sag or swell, even when used in coastal areas – this is a huge bonus and deciding factor!

What to Know When Buying a Ceiling Fan

Here are a few things you should be cognisant of when buying and installing an outdoor ceiling fan:

  • Be sure to check the distance between the floor and ceiling and buy a fan that sits safely within this space
  • Your ceiling fan must be installed by a professional electrician, or else your warranty will fall away
  • All Solent ceiling fans have the option to be controlled via remote control, so consider this for your convenience

Solent fans carry a 3-year no nonsense warranty, and they come with a fully-fledged back-up service. This means that if you have a problem with your fan, you contact the Solent team at any point within your warranty period and they will send a technician out to you.
