Craftmade Ceiling Fan

The direction your ceiling fan should spin depends on the weather conditions and season. In the summer, your ceiling fan should turn counterclockwise, and in the winter, it should turn clockwise. This is because the different rotations move air around in different ways. Counterclockwise motion creates a downdraft, which pushes cool air directly down into the room and better combats heat in summer. Clockwise rotation creates an updraft which helps circulate warm air throughout the room in winter. Making sure your ceiling fan spins the proper direction in summer and winter can help reduce energy costs and increase comfortability in your home.

Craftmade ceiling fans are equipped with reversible motors and speed control so you can configure them to your desired fan direction and speed. They offer a variety of ceiling fan designs for summer and winter, as well as for both interior and exterior applications.

To measure ceiling fan size, you first need to measure the dimensions of your ceiling. Once you have the square footage, you can find the center of the ceiling and use that as the focal point for your fan measurements. The ends of ceiling fan blades should extend no further than 18 inches from the wall. This allows the fan to have ample room to circulate air without running into any obstructions.

To measure the length of an existing ceiling fan, first note the number of blades. For an odd number of blades, you can measure the length from the center of the fan to the blade tip, then multiply by two to get the diameter. If the fan has an even number of blades, you can just measure the distance between two blade tips across from each other to get the diameter. Most manufacturers will indicate the size and length of the ceiling fan in the product specs.

Craftmade’s ceiling fans come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 18 to 120 inches in diameter. For whatever size space you have, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect ceiling fan fit with Craftmade.
