Blade Basics

The ceiling fan comprises of several small parts with specific function associated with every part in the fan. One of the most prominent features in a ceiling fan is the blade that rotates and provides the breeze in the room. The ceiling fan has three blades that mainly have a long rectangular shape but do not have great breadth. Usually, the blades of the fans are available in two standard lengths, mainly, 17 inches and 21 inches. The fans that have longer blades naturally provide more breeze or wind as it has a larger surface area and covers a larger area of the room. The blades are attached to the disc, which is attached to the junction box of the fan. The blades are attached with the help of screws that are inserted through the holes provided on the blades. With new and advanced technology being used for the blades of the fans, they are now capable enough for air control as well as air balancing. The greater the span of the blade, the fan would have an even better capacity of generating cool breeze that spreads uniformly all over the room.

In the wooden category blades, some of the most popular materials used include oak, cherrywood, rosewood and cedar. Several fans also comprise of blades that are made of maple, mahogany, birch and pine. The metallic blades include use of metals like aluminum, steel, rustic iron, platinum and bronze. The blades are also coated with anti-rust polish that protects the blades from any degradation and elemental pressures. This ensures that the blades remain new and effective for several years to come.
