Each and every material used to manufacture ceiling and fan blades are a sealed material that is not easily damaged if it is accidentally broken. Fiberglass is the most common material used for first and second generation fans. They can be either painted or stained.
Newly manufactured fans can also be protected with a powder covering. The powder is made of an acrylic and polyester resin compound, and also includes a pigment which is either organic or inorganic. This protective coating will help the blades resist cracks from normal usage.
Metal- has long been used to make blades. Although the metal fittings are painted or gilded, most manufacturers began using powder-coated aluminum and zinc to produce fans. Increasingly, metal fans have become a popular alternative to fiberglass. The powder coating equipment can be purchased from industrial suppliers.
Single photons of light will not damage a fan, but if the fan is fueled, it can produce a flame. Naturally flame-spreading over a sheet of cardboard will cook the paper very quickly. This is why there has been a growing need for remote-control mounted fans and those which can be controlled with a switch.
Every era in which there has been electricity available has had its own style of ceiling fan. Great changes have been made when it comes to ceiling fan design. During the air conditioning era, the ceiling fan was very nearly the same as the one it replaced (except it didn’t have the pull chain and control wand). But, there had been a huge change in the desire for quality in the way the fans were being made. Fans made from metal were the trend for that era. The aluminum versions were loved for their long life and great portability.
These days you can choose from a great variety of styles and designs with ceiling fan conversion kits. After installing a fan, if you add a ceiling fixture to the fan, the conversion kit can accommodate any dome, arched, round, or square ceiling lights. If you add a light fixture to an existing ceiling fan, you should let the finish of the fan to show through, because you want to highlight the light. You can use light kits, or mirrors to great complement your fan and lighting.
If you have a small space, you’ll definitely want to make the most of it with the right ceiling fan. With a wide variety of ceiling fan options, you can provide cool air to even the hottest of spaces. Choosing the right ceiling fan for your specific space is very important.
Decorative ceiling fans are great for kitchens, bathrooms, and media rooms. A Cho flyers style fan is suitable for the kitchen with its blades opening up to 45 degrees. A traditional, oil-rubbed bronze fan is perfect for your bathroom. A whitewashed penny-style fan is a timeless classic. Whether you want a mounted or in-ceiling fan, make sure you get the right look in the room that you are renovating.
