Large ceiling fans

The size of the ceiling fan should be chosen according to the square metres of the room and the layout of the space. In general, the larger the room, the larger the fan diameter recommended to achieve even and pleasant ventilation.

In addition to the square metres, it is also important to consider the ceiling height, the shape of the room and the distance from walls, beams or tall furniture. Before purchasing, we always recommend checking the fan measurements, the manufacturer’s instructions and the airflow, as this is a key factor in understanding its real performance and choosing the most suitable model.

As a general guide for large rooms:

• Rooms from 20 to 30 m²: fans from 132 cm to 142 cm in diameter.
• Rooms over 30 m²: large fans of 152 cm or more, reaching models of over 200 cm for very large spaces.

In very long spaces or rooms with several different areas of use, it may be more advisable to install two medium-sized fans instead of one very large fan, in order to achieve more balanced ventilation.

To know whether a ceiling fan has enough capacity to ventilate a large room, you should not only look at the blade diameter. It is also important to check the airflow, usually indicated in m³/h or CFM, as this figure shows the amount of air the fan is capable of moving.

As a general guide, for large rooms it is advisable to choose fans with a high airflow:

• Rooms from 20 to 30 m²: approximately between 8000 and 12000 m³/h.
• Rooms from 30 to 40 m²: approximately between 12000 and 16000 m³/h.
• Rooms over 40 m²: it is advisable to choose models with more than 16000 m³/h or consider installing two fans to distribute the air more effectively.

A large ceiling fan does not cool the air like air conditioning, but it does improve air circulation in the room and creates a more pleasant thermal sensation. This makes it possible to reduce the use of air conditioning or combine both systems to cool the room more efficiently. In this way, comfort is improved, energy consumption is optimised and it can help reduce the electricity bill.

DC (direct current) motors are more efficient, quieter, and more durable than AC motors. They consume 50% to 70% less energy, offer more speed options (up to 10 speeds in some models), and generate less heat and noise. For large rooms where the fan is on for many hours, the difference in energy consumption and comfort is significant.

Some models in this category can be controlled via an app with a Bluetooth connection, in addition to the included remote control.
