Ceiling fans - the all-rounder for the whole year
The meteorologists agree that the coming summer will again be hot. At the latest, the hour of fans is beating, which provide for a cool breeze in the workplace or at home. Ceiling fans are extremely effective compared to table and floor fans. Find out how they work and what to look for when you buy in our guide.

Frequently asked questions about ceiling fans

Where are ceiling fans used and what types are there?
The application areas of ceiling fans
Fans mounted on the ceiling are particularly popular in the area of gastronomy. But they are also used in offices, workshops and in living rooms and can usually be easily integrated.
In principle, such a fan can be installed on any ceiling that provides sufficient space for the rotating blades in all directions and whose load capacity is sufficiently high. Even for low ceilings, fans are offered with a particularly flat design.

Various types of ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are available in a variety of designs and can be made from a variety of materials. A classic is certainly the brass-colored ceiling fan with wooden wings. White or chrome-plated models are very suitable for modern facilities. Some appliances have wings made of different light or dark woods, which fit perfectly into the surroundings. Some manufacturers offer ceiling fans with strikingly colorful wings that can add striking color accents.
In addition, you have the choice whether it should be a fan with or without integrated lighting, which can also replace an existing lamp. There are even devices with multi-beam illumination. A convenient remote control allows a comfortable setting of the speed level from any point in the room.
In our online shop you will find various models with a different number of wings as well as with different diameters.
How does cooling with a ceiling fan work?
A ceiling fan with its wings accelerates the air circulation in a closed room. While a normal fan blows the generated air flow in a targeted direction, a model attached to the ceiling is able to circulate the complete air in a room. If it becomes too warm for the human body, it sweats sweat over the skin. The effect of evaporation and the associated evaporation cold regulates the body temperature. The air flow of a fan cools down by encouraging evaporation.


The advantage of a ceiling fan is that you do not sit directly in the air draft, such as from a wall or standing fan. Sensitive persons sitting in front of a fan for a long time can get quite slight eye irritation through the train. On the other hand, a model attached to the ceiling provides a pleasant and unobtrusive fresh breeze throughout the room.
Please note that a ceiling fan cannot cool a room like an air conditioner. As soon as the air flow generated by the wings of a fan ends, all cooling effects associated with it also fall away immediately. However, a fan requires only a fraction of the energy required to operate an air conditioning system.
The ceiling fan in winter
Not only in summer, a ceiling fan provides valuable services. Even in winter, one of the ceiling-mounted fans can be very useful.
Warm air rises up and collects under the ceiling. If the direction of rotation of the blades is changed, the fan will re-paddle the warm air downwards and distribute it evenly in the room. By circulating the heated air, you can effectively reduce heating costs. A change in the direction of rotation can be done by a small switch on the device or via a remote control.

What do ich need to be aware of when ich buy a ceiling fan?
Ceiling fans with integrated lighting

There are a few things you should consider when purchasing a ceiling fan: If the fan is to take the place of a lamp attached to the ceiling, you should take a model with integrated lighting.
You have the choice whether a conventional energy-saving lamp or modern LED-technology should produce the light. Because the fan is activated or deactivated via the normal light switch, models with a built-in lamp have an additional pull switch to switch on the light. Alternatively, in many cases, the lighting can be controlled via a remote control.
Ceiling fans are sized
The size of a fan must be adapted to the size of the room. In order to find the right model, the room height and the room area must be included.
For a room with an area of 10 m² and a room height of 2.5 m, a device with a diameter of 90 cm is appropriate. However, if the area is 30 m² and the room height is 3 m, the diameter should be at least 140 cm. ² For large rooms from approx. 38 m onwards, two or more devices are required for adequate cooling.
The number of wings is also important. A fan with 6 or 8 wings is able to provide good ventilation of the room even at the lowest level. A device with fewer wings requires a higher speed level to achieve the same performance.

Room height in m (h); room area in square meters (m2); use of several ceiling fans required (X).
The installation of ceiling fans

The installation of a ceiling fan usually takes place at the place that previously occupied the ceiling lamp.
Make sure that the bracket for the fan is firmly seated. During operation, vibrations can occur, especially at the highest level, which must be able to withstand the attachment.
The ceiling must also be able to carry the weight of the device permanently. In addition, make sure that there is a sufficient distance if several fans are to be suspended from the ceiling in large rooms.

Frequently asked questions about ceiling fans
What functions can ich control with a ceiling fan via the remote control?
A remote control offers you a big plus in comfort. You can switch the fan on and off. Furthermore, the speed level and, if necessary, a timer can be set via the remote control. In models with built-in lighting, the light can be switched on and off with a remote control, but can also be dimmed.
What is the power consumption of a ceiling fan?
The power consumption depends on the installed motor and any integrated lighting. Depending on the model, typical values are 48 watts, 60 watts, or 119 watts.
How are the fan and air conditioning different?
A fan either blows air in a targeted direction or circulates the room air. The air is moved, which was perceived by humans as a cool draft. However, air cooling does not take place. On the other hand, an air conditioning system is much more complex: The coolant circulating inside evaporates even at low temperatures. Heat is removed from the environment during evaporation. This cools the so-called radiator in the air conditioning system. A fan then blows air through the radiator, which cools down there and then escapes into the room.
