Ceiling Fan Buyer Guides
Selection guidance for importers, distributors and project buyers. Each guide works through the questions to settle before ordering, using our own catalogue data as the worked example.

Blade count is one of the first things buyers notice and one of the least useful things to decide on by itself. This guide sets out what blade count does and does not tell you, using our own catalogue as the worked example, and lists what to compare instead.

Ceiling Fan Mount Types: Flush Mount, Downrod, Wall and Corner
Mounting choice depends on the ceiling, the room layout, and the mounting formats the specific fan model supports. This guide covers the common formats, marks which ones our catalogue actually offers, and lists what to settle before an order is placed.
Read the guideA note on the figures in these guides
These guides use two kinds of statement only: our own catalogue data, and the questions a buyer needs to answer before ordering. Where a guide does not give a number — clearance distances, downrod lengths by ceiling height, airflow or efficiency figures — it is because we do not publish an unsourced figure for it. Send us the project details and we will confirm what can be provided.
