Ceiling Fan Blade Sizes & Materials |
|
Fans have from three to five blades; the traditional number is four. Though the number of blades does not affect performance much, it does affect cost. Generally speaking, the more blades the higher the cost. Blades come in several lengths, measured by the full blade sweep they produce: 30, 42, 44, 46, 50, 52, and 60 inches. Most manufacturers only make two or three different lengths. Blades are made from a number of materials and are given a wide variety of finishes. Natural wood and painted blades are made from solid wood, cross-laminated veneer (plywood), and less-expensive veneered constant-density board.
Finishes include natural, appliance white, cherry wood, oak, walnut, burled camphor, bleached oak, white, faux granite, rosewood, black, high luster, colors, and more.
Some blades are reversible; for example, they might offer a bleached oak look on one side and a painted white finish on the other. Simply turn the blades over to change the fan’s appearance.
 Other blades are made of clear or smoked acrylic. Hunter’s Original Outdoor fans feature blades of washable sailcloth stretched over a frame; fabrics are available in several colors. Both Casablanca and Fasco have similar offerings.
