Tropical and Palm Leaf Ceiling Fans
It is one of the popular styles to have a ceiling fan with blades made
to resemble palm leaves.
Fanimation and Emerson were among the first to
offer this design (and make the very best models) however almost every
company nowadays offers a fan in a similar style. Keep in mind that
because of the blade design these fans may turn slower than conventional
fans and therefore move less air. Some companies (particularly
Fanimation) offer fans with two or more palm leaf blade sets attached to
a single fan assembly. These allow for very unique ceiling fans, as
well as fan systems for larger rooms. See "
"Fanimation" for more details.
For those who want a tropical appearance but not necessarily the palm
leaves, there are many other style options. Companies such as
Fanimation, Emerson, and
Casablanca offer sailcloth blades. Many
companies offer fans with wicker blades such as Hunter's Tropical
Original. Other options include bamboo, "bent" wood, and blades carved
into leaf shapes. Again, as with pal leaf blades, keep in mind any
blade shaped differently than the conventional ceiling fan may be
sacrificing some speed and therefore air movement for design.
Many "tropical" ceiling fan designs are UL listed for Damp and Wet
locations, if you wish to install the fan in an outdoor location make
sure it is approved.
