Summer is a time when people work hard and play hard. Then they sweat – a lot. Air conditioning has made the interior of our homes more comfortable, but it doesn’t work outdoors or in highly ventilated areas. A breeze blowing across your damp skin refreshes and lowers your body temperature, but Mother Nature doesn’t always provide that, especially if you’re working in an area that’s not entirely outdoors or on a day when the air is calm too warm. This is where a wall fan can be an excellent device.
Advantages of wall fans
A wall fan, like a ceiling fan, does not take up valuable space. Since many wall fans are connected, there is no wiring, which can be dangerous. Even if the wall fan requires an outlet, it’s less difficult to route the cord so that it isn’t vulnerable to water or someone tripping over it.
Differences between wall fans
Not all fans that can be wall mounted are created equal. Some feature sleek or beautiful fixtures, making them a great choice for your porch or patio. Others are more functional and suitable for your garage, greenhouse or barn. Some are designed for use in areas where moisture is an issue, such as greenhouses, while others require protection. Fans of all types include those that blow in one direction, while others are oscillating fans that move to spread their breeze. Wall fans are no exception. The amount of air they can move and their speed also vary.
How fans help you cool down
Although it’s sometimes considered rude to say so, people sweat to regulate their core temperature. The thermometer is rising and your pores are exuding moisture to make you feel more comfortable. In contrast to an air conditioner or even a swamp cooler, a fan does not cool the air flowing through it. Instead, it blows across your moisture-cooled skin, making your sweat feel cooler. Here is a collection of wall fans, some decorative, some functional, to help you work and play more comfortably during the summer.
Three bladed fan
Not all areas around your home are suitable for air conditioning. This includes screened porches, outdoor garages, and similar locations. Even in rooms where air conditioning is possible, the movement of air can make it feel cooler. A wall-mounted three-blade fan is the height of a ceiling fan and is easy to operate. The Hadlee Three Bladed fan could be the answer to hard-to-cool spaces.
outdoor wall fan
Do you love your terrace but hate the windless days? The Melody Bronze 13 inch outdoor wall fan could be the perfect solution to create your own breeze. This fan is approved for wet rooms and is supported by an elegant gooseneck mount. It can mean the difference between pleasure and misery in your poolside lounge or on your patio. It can even work in a greenhouse.
Old Havana outdoor fan
Bring your own breeze of elegance and old world style. The Old Havana outdoor fan is a wall fan approved for use on patios and under awnings. The rust-colored, sleek mount is unidirectional, meaning the breeze is directed to one area – say your favorite lawn chair. It has three speeds for added convenience.
comfort on your porch
The 13 inch oiled bronze wall fan can add comfort to your southern style porch. In the old southern United States, homes with wide porches were favored because they allowed the family to sit outside relatively comfortably. The air conditioning has changed quite a bit, but with a breeze of air you can still sip cool drinks and watch the fireflies dance on the lawn.
Four-blade oscillating fan
Need a cool porch or patio for a party or event? A chrome four-blade oscillating fan could be the solution for shared comfort. A handy wall switch makes it easy to turn on the fans when you need them and saves electricity when they’re not. The chrome color combines well with bright light for a less strong decorative effect.
Easy to assemble oscillating wall fan
Perfect for those corners of your home where the air seems stagnant and unbearably hot. This oscillating fan is easy to assemble and can be controlled via the center knob or via the pull cords. It requires a plug – it’s not hardwired, which is perhaps a handy benefit. The device is black and has a three-blade fan.
13 inch brushed nickel fan
Wall mounted on a beautiful brushed nickel bracket, this 13 inch oscillating fan provides ventilation. This is a place where a little air movement is appreciated. This could be near the outdoor grill, your favorite patio chair, or the porch swing. It goes well with white wicker furniture or similar light-colored furniture.
Convertible wall fan
This Savoy wall fan comes with a 1.8m cord. It can be plugged into an outlet or into the house. It is suitable for outdoor use and resistant to moisture but should be under a shelter such as an awning or porch. It can be used with a remote control, but the remote control is not included.
General purpose wall fan
The Hurricane Super 8 is an amazing general purpose wall fan. The airflow of eight is suitable for better circulation. Three different speeds and three vibration patterns can be programmed. It can be used in your home, greenhouse, garage, porch, patio or just about anywhere that air needs to circulate and ventilation needs to be improved. While no fan is completely silent, it produces less noise than other inline fans.
master of the fans
When it comes to outdoor fans, this one is the place to be. The Master Mac 30 Watt High Speed Wall Fan is suitable for use in garages, barns and other warm places where summer brings a lot of work. It features high airflow – 8500 CFM – and a one-year warranty. Summer brings work and fun outside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a cool breeze along the way.
