As someone who's spent a good few years working in the South East Asian region, I don't think I could ever sleep in a hot room with still air ever again. For me, when it's hot and humid, the air has to flow or the consequence is an incredibly uncomfortable night. You know what it's like, you're sitting on a scorching hot beach dripping under the armpits then all of a sudden a very welcome breeze comes along and gives you instant relief. Ceiling fans, or fans in general, are that outdoor breeze indoors, but the difference is you don't have to wait for these indoor wafts of air because you have the control at your very fingertips.
The UK probably has about 2 weeks of real baking sunshine a year, so they don't find it necessary to invest in cooling mechanisms too much. However, for the couple of weeks of hot summer sunshine they do get (if they're lucky!), there's always a mad dash to go out and buy fans, and stocks often run out before everyone can get one. I've been in the UK when this has happened and believe you me, it's just terrible. No one can sleep and everyone is on edge because of it. This is where ceiling fans come can really play a part. As well as being functional and practical items, they add a nice touch to home décor when they're not needed as fans.
I often hear folks complain that they would love a ceiling fan in this room or space, but their ceilings are not high enough. Worry not, there are so many ceiling fans nowadays made specifically for low ceilings. Ceiling fans are the perfect answer to that indoor breeze. You have an attractive light centerpieces with the added benefit of controlled air flow for when you need it.
Whatever your room type, you will find a pleasing design to suite your style. Many of the contemporary designs today come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes. You'll find brushed nickel, chrome, pewter, rustic and pastel colors along with copper and bronze effects. But apart from the contribution to decoration, they will all serve that crucial purpose in moments of need, which is to stir up the air and distribute welcome wafts around the room.
Ceiling fans are not only found indoors either. We're now seeing a lot of models being designed specifically for outdoor spaces like verandas and gazebos. Now folks can sit outside of a hot summers evening with a cool gentle breeze oscillating around them.
Many countries that have more predicable hot seasons have air conditioning units installed in homes, cars, offices, and shops as a standard, but there are often times when it's not hot enough to warrant using the air conditioning, yet it's a little too uncomfortable without it. This is where your ceiling fans come in. When you purchase a ceiling fan you also invest in a bit of furniture that helps to beautify your living space, but more importantly than that, you buy a breeze, and unless you live in Antarctica, you know just what a wonderful feeling that it.
