Fixtures / Blades / Rods & Switches and Remotes
Not all ceiling fans are created equally, and neither are the rooms they’re used in. With this in mind, Fan Diego offers a wide selection of accessories and hardware to customize your fan to fit your needs, without sacrificing style. The right ceiling fan can complement your room’s décor, while the wrong fan can destroy a design scheme, or leave your home cooling needs unsatisfied. You shouldn’t have to choose between functionality and style, and with Fan Diego, you don’t have to.
There is a vast selection of fan blades, hanging systems, and fan-control options to customize performance, partnered with stylish ceiling medallions, light kits and other accessories to ensure proper function and fashion. There are many different light kits available, so you can customize your lighting to fit your needs as well. If you have lower ceilings, you may want to consider turtle fitters or low profile glass bowls, and if you have high ceilings, standard armed-fitters, paired with glass shades for more direct lighting. You can choose from different shapes, such as tear drops and bowls for a single light, and globes or glass shades for multiple lights. With lighting, you also have to consider whether you’ll want halogen lights, incandescent lights or CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps).
Just as lighting options differ, fan blades do as well. Choosing the right ceiling fan blades can mean the difference between proper and insufficient airflow. Depending on room size and ceiling heights, you’ll want fan blades with the right pitch and blade span in order to safely, but effectively pull in and circulate air.
Another factor to consider is how you’ll want to control your ceiling fan. Many of the fans come with a standard pull-chain, but you can also buy a remote control or wall switch for greater ease of operation. Wall switches can either have a single switch that control fan speeds, or dual switches in order to separately manage fan speeds and the accompanying light source. For some wall controls, you can have the option of a light dimmer, which enables you to control exactly how much light you need for the room. Remote controls are also convenient ways to operate your ceiling fans, as they can be utilized from a greater distance and from multiple locations, as opposed to walking to a stationary location whenever you need to control your fan.
Every ceiling fan size has a recommended room size and/or ceiling height that it functions best with, and sometimes that perfect style isn’t quite the perfect size for your home. Thankfully, Fan Diego has a variety of downrods and other hanging systems that can help you get that look you want, while still achieving optimum fan performance. Whether you have sloped, cathedral, low or high ceilings, there is a downrod or an adapter appropriate for your needs.
Ceiling fan medallions are primarily used for visual appeal, but the right selection could also potentially increase the value of your home, or at the very least, bring together a seemingly incomplete design motif. With the different finishes and styles, you can create the perfect look to top off the perfect fan for your living space.
