The size of the receiver is more crucial. It has to fit inside the ceiling mount housing of your ceiling fan or in the ceiling itself. If the receiver is too big to fit inside the fan, you’ll have to remove the electric box, push the receiver through, then reattach the electric box. This creates an extra step during installation. Due to the curvature/angle of fan blades, the direction that they spin in can alter the effect they have on the air. Usually, blades spin in a direction that force the air downwards to create a downdraft. This cools the room. Conservatories can get uncomfortably hot, especially in summer, but there isn’t always a lot of space for cooling fans on top of everything else that’s needed in there. That’s why the Reiga Bright White Ceiling Fan is so useful; it combines an adjustable ceiling light with a fan unit to make the conservatory a more comfortable place to be in all seasons. You’ll also need to consider the length of the blades, and this will naturally come down to how much space you have. For medium/large conservatories, blades over 100cm tend to work well . These will be better at circulating cool air around bigger spaces. However, for small conservatories, you may need to consider models with shorter blades under 95cm . Of course, the choice is up to you, depending on your preferences and which style you prefer, but it’s good to have an idea of everything that’s available on the market.

When it comes to the light, it’s very bright – potentially too bright for some people to use later in the evenings. But it works well even in rooms with high ceilings, with enough potency to powerfully illuminate the room. Seeing as conservatories are often quite small spaces, one important benefit of this fan is how quietly it runs. Although not perfectly silent, if you did want to take a nap, or read a book uninterrupted, it’s unlikely to cause much of a distraction. If you want a light that doubles as a fan, but you don’t want the fan to be visible all the time, you may choose to investigate a unit with retractable blades. Ceiling fan remote control kits consist of a remote control pad and a receiver. The remote control pad should fit in your hand. Unlike the small buttons on a TV remote, the buttons on a ceiling fan remote control are generally larger. This is a helpful feature when it’s dark. Instantly make any room in your home more functional with an easy-to-install, wall-mounted ceiling fan control. Our selection of convenient wall-mounted fan remotes lets you set your fan at an optimum speed and even change the direction of the spin – without a ladder. HAND-HELD CEILING FAN REMOTESA conservatory is a beautiful place to relax in the spring and summer months, bridging the gap between your home and garden. Not all fan/light units will be compatible with dimmer switches. If you know that having the choice to dim the light is important to you, make sure it’s compatible before you buy it. You may need to message the manufacturer if there isn’t sufficient information about the product available online.

Ceiling fans usually have between three and five blades, although some may have as few as two. The number of blades doesn’t actually dramatically affect performance (in terms of cooling power); however, it can make a difference to the noise of the fan. Fans with more blades tend to be quieter. Stainless steel fan blades are one of the best choices for conservatories. This is because they’re rust-resistant and can therefore handle damp and humid conditions. Alternatively, ABS plastic blades are ideal if you’re on a budget. They’re often a little cheaper, but still durable. There are a couple of additional things to consider, if you’re choosing a ceiling fan with a built-in light: Although wooden/MDF blades can look stylish, they’re not always suitable for conservatories because they don’t handle humidity well. If you like the appearance of wooden fans, I recommend looking for plastic that’s moulded to replicate wood . This will give the best of both worlds and won’t be as heavy either.On the first two speed settings, this is a very quiet fan. It gets marginally louder on the third (and fastest) setting, though not enough to be too disruptive – it just might disturb sleep. With five stainless-steel blades and an art-deco style light, the Moerun Modern Ceiling Fan is a contemporary option that has a lot of practical features.

A ceiling medallion, like the Westinghouse Lighting Victorian White Finish Ceiling Medallion, is a great way to hide a hole in the ceiling that is too large for your fan to cover. You install the ceiling medallion between the fan and the ceiling. Light shades Read the instructions thoroughly before you begin the installation. If there are videos available from the manufacturer, be sure to watch them so that you fully understand the process. Unlike the other ceiling fan/lights featured here, there’s actually more than one light (four to be exact) and they are spotlights, so can be adjusted and directed into specific areas of the conservatory. It’s also one of the more customisable options featured on this list (in case silver, chrome and steel aren’t your thing), with several different colours available to choose from. The fan is available with darker, wengue-wood-effect blades, as well as dark-pewter blades which create a more retro, ‘50s look (this option also complements modern spaces that favour neutral tones like creams and browns). The light itself is 51 cm in diameter and when the blades are out the whole fan measures 108 cm across. As a result, it’s the second smallest ceiling fans on this list (just one centimetre larger than the MiniSun Ceiling Fan) and is suitable for cooling rooms of 10 – 25 m². The ceiling height needs to be taller than 250 cm and the fan comes with two hanging rods of different lengths: 10 cm and 20 cm.Some ceiling fan remote control kits include a wall mount for the remote. Mount it next to the wall switch where you’re used to turning the fan on and off, and you’ll be able to find the remote whenever you need it. Accessories Ceiling medallions You’ll still need enough space to fit it in the first place though, as this is a large unit; it measures 132 cm in diameter. There are two hanging rods to choose between, either 15 cm or 25 cm long, which allow you to position the unit differently according to ceiling height.
