If you love lounging outdoors, but it gets too hot during the summer, try installing outdoor ceiling fans on your covered balconies or patios. Besides keeping you cool during the summer season, the gentle breeze will also keep pests like mosquitos and flies away.

It is important to note that you will need to purchase ceiling fans designated to be used outdoors. But what features should you be looking out for? Prestige Fans says that you need to check the motor fan, material composition, blades and if the fan is salt-spray tested.

  1. Motor- the motor of the fan you choose needs to be sealed against moisture ingress or water penetration. You will hear lots of different descriptions like "Tropical rated", but the real test is if the fan has an IP rating. IP ratings are the internationally recognised standard for water ingress or water penetration.
  2. Material composition- most ceiling fans are made of powder-coated metal, which will rust over time if mounted outside. Your outdoor fan should be aluminium or stainless steel, with stainless steel fasteners. You should note, though, that stainless steel does require maintenance and regular cleaning; otherwise, it will develop "tea stains", which can be viewed as rust. Aluminium, on the other hand, will be trouble-free.
  3. Blades- like the body, your blades need to be made of weather-resistant material. Timber blades will absorb moisture, which will unbalance the fan. Outdoor fans usually have UV resistant plastic blades, making them easier to clean.
  4. Salt Spray Tested- proximity to the ocean is another factor to consider. Not all outdoor fans are resistant to salt spray, so check if the fan you choose has been salt spray treated.

Prestige Fans offers three various outdoor ceiling fans that will not only serve its purpose to cool your outdoor area but match with your decorations.
