Commercial Ceiling Fans
Ultra Quiet and Top Efficiency Fans

Commercial ceiling fans. Generally, ceiling fans are designed for the homeowner and are marketed to be both aesthetic as well as effective.

However, there are other places one can use a ceiling fan such as industrial and commercial buildings.

When it comes to commercial ceiling fans, features like power, reliability and efficiency are given preference over factors such as looks or appearance.

A typical industrial ceiling fan can be found in white, black or brown enamel with three metal blades and though 56” is the most common size, manufacturers also offer industrial ceiling fans of 36”, 48” and 60” inches.

Unlike residential ceiling fans, commercial ceiling fans operate at much higher speeds with a lesser number of blades which results in a much greater degree of airflow efficiency.

The blades of a industrial ceiling fan are a curved or sculpted to generate an airflow pattern that helps to circulate air better in larger areas with a higher ceiling. Most Industrial ceiling fans aren’t light kit adaptable and are designed to be operated from a wall control.

There are several industrial ceiling fan companies that offer their products over a radically varying cost range. Some inexpensive models can be bought for as low as $30 whereas you may have to pay out more than $200 for heavy duty models.

Since, appearance isn’t the main factor in the case of industrial ceiling fans, the important deciding factors for price and quality are the performance or efficiency of the fan and the brand name.

The performance of different fans can be compared by taking a look at the cfm rating or the cubic feet per minute rating. The cfm rating of a fan is a direct measurement of the volume of air moved by the fan each minute. The cfm ratings of industrial ceiling fans can vary from 20,000 to 40,000 cfm depending on the type and manufacturer.
