Whether in vibrant colors, small or large, vintage or ultra-modern – you decide which fan helps you keep a cool head.
The Function of a Fan
In general, a fan does not cool the air. It sets existing air in motion without changing its temperature. The cooling effect arises because a larger volume of air flows past your body, carrying away more body heat. In still or hot air, a thin layer of warm and relatively stagnant air with high humidity forms on the skin's surface. This effect can be more pronounced with stronger body hair. When the air is moved, for example, by a fan or a gust of wind, it easily breaks through this layer, leading to higher and faster evaporation on the skin, creating the desired cooling effect. Moving air feels cooler on the skin due to enhanced evaporation. This refreshes you, even though the room temperature itself is not cooled down. This is also why we feel more comfortable on hot summer days at the beach or by a river. It's because the air is in motion!
Matching Fans for Every Space
Depending on the room or purpose for which you want a fan, there are various options. From ceiling, tabletop, to pedestal fans, we offer a variety of products. In terms of design, modern ceiling fans are no longer comparable to older models. Today, they serve as a fan, light, and design object all in one. Many devices come with built-in light sources, creating a refreshingly stylish focal point that also provides illumination. With the remote control, you can even change or dim the light color or activate the night light function in some models. We'll explain which model would best suit your space in a few words.
Ceiling Fans for Every Season
Ceiling fans have the ability to cover an entire room effectively. Unlike other models, they are permanently installed, requiring a certain ceiling height. You need sufficient "clearance" not only beneath the fan but also between the blades and the ceiling, at least 25 to 30 cm, to generate adequate airflow. In the summer, they are an effective and affordable alternative to air conditioning; in the winter, they help you save on heating costs. The difference lies in the operating mode and rotation direction based on your needs. Forward motion is used in the summer. A ceiling fan eliminates the sensation of stagnant air, as it ensures even circulation and makes the sweltering heat much more bearable. Another undeniable advantage is the space-saving aspect when you prefer not to use a tabletop or pedestal fan. Additionally, a ceiling fan can be useful not only in summer but also in winter. Winter operation involves reverse motion. As heated air rises and accumulates at the ceiling, it pushes the colder air downward. The result: despite radiators being on, your feet remain cold, and more heating is used than necessary. In some of our ceiling fan models, you can change the rotation direction for winter. The warm ceiling-heated air is set in motion again through rotation, circulating downward along the walls and warming the cooler air near the floor. This is cost-effective and provides comfortably warm temperatures near the floor. During winter, set the ceiling fan to the lowest speed to avoid an uncomfortable draft.
Table Fans in Various Designs
Table fans are considered timeless classics that can be placed on any table or dresser. They are handy, small, and designed to provide the immediate vicinity with a fresh airflow. In an office, for example, one or two workstations can be well supplied with a table fan. While a table fan may not significantly lower the room temperature, the perception of temperature changes noticeably due to the fan's air movement. A table fan helps circulate stagnant, stuffy air, making 35 degrees Celsius feel much more pleasant on your desk with this little helper. Unlike ceiling and pedestal fans, table fans have a compact design, making them the best cooling solution for desk users. Whether for professional or private use, take advantage of the convenience of grabbing your table fan when the heat becomes unbearable, once you've experienced the refreshing bursts of air. You can choose between fixed and oscillating models. However, oscillating models move the stagnant air even more effectively.
Pedestal and Tower Fans for Individual Use
If you need a broader range, consider a pedestal or tower fan. The pedestal fan is the classic fan type that most people are familiar with. Pedestal fans are usually height-adjustable and offer greater power, allowing them to provide a cool breeze over a larger area of the room. Unlike ceiling fans, pedestal fans can be freely moved and placed in various locations in the room. This offers you flexibility in choosing the room layout even after purchasing the product. On the other hand, tower fans do not have a large rotor but impress with their slim shape, fitting seamlessly into any modern home. Through a louvered construction, tower fans draw in air from the back and release it through the entire height of the fan on the front side. These features make these two types of fans ideal for coping with the sometimes unbearable heat in work or living spaces during the summer. Many models are height-adjustable, easy to transport, and quick to position.
Function and Design - Hand in Hand!
Designed with clean shapes and lines, they match perfectly with modern interior styles. Whether light wood tones, a matte metal look, or ceiling fans with transparent polycarbonate rotor blades – modern models blend harmoniously with your interior style. Attention to detail characterizes our classic models, which rely on proven designs and high-quality materials. In some ceiling fan models, you can even reverse the rotor blades for a different look as desired. Industrial style enthusiasts will delight in our pedestal fans, and for children's rooms, ceiling fans with colorful blades bring joy. All models in our range offer multiple fan speeds so you can easily regulate them based on the room temperature. As mentioned earlier, different fan types offer numerous functions. A brief overview helps you better understand these.
Choosing the Right Size
However, you should consider a few things when choosing the size of the fan. For floor fans, the maximum motor power is indicated. The stronger the motor, the more air it can move. For ceiling fans, the diameter is crucial. The larger the diameter, the larger the area the fan can effectively cool. Here are some guidelines for different room heights:
•Standard room heights: Use the fan with or without a downrod – standard models can be used.
•Low room heights: Use fans with direct ceiling mount, without a downrod.
•High room heights: Use the fan with a longer downrod.
•Sloped ceilings: Use a fan with a mounting option for sloped ceilings.
Regardless of the room type, make sure that the blades have a minimum clearance of 2.30 meters (about 7.5 feet) from the floor and a minimum distance of 0.60 meters (about 2 feet) from the wall. The distance between the blades and the ceiling should be at least 25 – 30 cm (about 10 – 12 inches).
Tips and Tricks to Stay Cool
Need a fan with more power to ensure better air circulation within the room? A more powerful motor moves more air through the room, increasing the rotations per minute of the fan blades. The motor's power is measured in watts (W). The greater the motor's power, the stronger the airflow. Many of our models can be switched between different speed levels, either using an included remote control or manually. This gives you the flexibility to choose the desired strength and distribution of cooling effects.
Proper Ventilation
•The best time to ventilate is at night or in the early morning hours when outside temperatures are the lowest. Open windows to exchange warm indoor air for fresh air from outside. To achieve the best effect, also open drawers and cabinets; warm air tends to accumulate in these areas on summer days.
•Use your table or pedestal fan during ventilation.
•Position the fan with its back to the living area when ventilating to expel warm indoor air. Then turn the fan in the opposite direction to bring in cool, fresh air. This is an effective and efficient way to ventilate your rooms.
•Darken your rooms during the day.
•Lower the blinds and shades during the day to darken your spaces. This can lead to a decrease in room temperature.
•Choose lighter curtain variants.
•Lighter curtains reflect sunlight better, leading to the desired drop in temperature.
•Limit the use of electrical appliances.
•Electrical appliances produce heat, even in standby mode.
•Important Information about Fans:
•Directing the fan towards your body and head can lead to cooling of the throat lining, which can create a comfortable environment for viruses and potentially lead to a cold. Cooling specific muscle groups can result in tension due to temperature loss.
•Room ventilation primarily serves to remove pollen and dust, which protects allergy sufferers from discomfort.
•Drafts can lead to dry eyes and itching.
•A cool room can help move air from the fan into neighboring warmer rooms. Place the fan near the door and facing into the room you want to ventilate.
•A sensible use of the fan would involve running it for a short period on high speed, reducing the risk of catching a cold and helping reduce your electricity bill.
