Ceiling fan advice

squamishmark | Posted in General Questions on

I am building a place that has large open concept with high 4:12 sloping ceiling.  We will be installing a ceiling fan only to move air around the space as we have limited ducting.  Max fan size will be around 4′ diameter, likely less, and usually running continuously at low speed.  Fan is located near pendant light over island – hoping it wont swing too much…

Any advice on fan selection – something that optimizes air movement with smaller diameter and that doesnt cost a fortune like Haiku from Big Ass Fans?

    Mark,

    Sorry no good advice on the fan. Is that the infill in Squamish you posted about last winter? Hows it coming along?
