What Size Ceiling Fan To Use In A Room

When selecting a fan for your room we find that it's good to choose a slightly larger fan that will achieve the same airflow on a low speed as a smaller fan on a high speed.

This will allow you to get the air movement you need with a quieter and more energy efficient operation.

​

Keeping this in mind, here are our recommendations of fan sizes:

​

Small-medium sized bedroom:  40"-52" (1016mm-1321mm)

Large bedroom / medium living area:  52"-60" (1321mm-1524mm)

Large living area:  60"-80" (1524mm-2032mm)

Extra large space:  80"< (2032mm<) or 2 medium fans

​

Another point to consider when installing fans is what height your ceilings are.

The minimum distance required between the floor and the fan blades is 2.1m.
