Wall fans are designed to mount to the wall instead of on the ceiling. They offer a great way to move cool air around a room. While a ceiling fan can typically only direct air downwards, wall fans can evenly cool a room.
Rooms with poor air circulation, like bedrooms, basements, and home offices, require a fan to supply air movement and to keep the space comfortable. Wall fans can circulate air while keeping the space feeling cool without taking up additional floor or table space. They can also work in conjunction with air conditioners to circulate cool air throughout the room.
Certain wall fans can also oscillate or operate with a remote. A wall mounted oscillating fan moves side-to-side to provide maximum air circulation throughout the room. Use a fan with remote control for ease of use and, in some instances, to adjust fan speed settings or oscillation.
Wall fans work well in locations with limited space or poor air circulation. They can also help homes without air conditioning feel cooler during warm weather.
Since they mount to the wall, wall mount fans work well in areas that require floor and table space, like a restaurant or gym. You can also use them in other commercial areas, like offices or auto shops. Industrial spaces may require a high velocity fan.
At home, use a wall mounted fan to help cool a basement, bedroom, or home office.
A wall mount fan moves air in one direction. This means, to feel the benefits, you need to stand in its direct path. An air circulator, sometimes referred to as a whole room air circulator fan, moves air throughout the entire room.
