The firm’s fans are also customizable with a wide range of colors and finishes on offer. In this post, we take a look at Minka Aire’s extensive model range.
Indoor Fans
Contemporary Fans
These come with the most fashionable designs. Some of them are famous for their quirky look like the George Kovacs Cirque fan. This model has three 54” blades and three 25” blades, giving it a slightly asymmetrical look. The bulbous motor housing and included halogen downlight give a very timeless look to the fan, almost like a mobile piece of art. Minka Aire’s Gyro fan series is a reinterpretation of an old classic design. The Gyro has a pair of adjustable turbofans mounted on the sides of a bulbous housing, combining the look of wall and table fans with the practicality of a ceiling fan. The entire assembly rotates slowly to push air throughout the room. This model is useful for ventilating large rooms and open porches effectively. It comes in Wet (Outdoor) and Dry variants with brushed nickel and oil rubbed bronze finishes. You can also go full retro with the Traditional Gyro fan, which features some stunning metalwork with Belcaro Walnut and Provencal Blanc finishes. With the optional remote control, you can change the Gyro fan’s speed from anywhere in the room. Coming to more avant-garde designs, Artemis, Light Wave, Slipstream, Wing and Zen are very popular among customers. The Wing fan, in particular, is a two blade design that closely resembles a flying craft with its fixed blades and curving blade pitch.
Small and Medium Indoor Fans
These fans have a span ranging up to 44” and are suitable for smaller rooms or for installation in sets of two and more. The Spacesaver models are “hugger” fans which can be installed directly to low ceilings without a downrod. These can be purchased in White, Brushed Steel and Oil Rubbed Bronze colors. They also feature down lighting using halogen and LED bulbs Concept I, and Concept II are larger three bladed designs with 44” variants, designed for quiet operation and high efficiency.
Large Indoor Fans
These come with a span of 45” and more. They can be installed as standalone fans in large living rooms and master bedrooms. Some of the popular models in this size category are Acero, Bolo, Delano, Mojo and Napoli. These models also offer down lighting and come in a wide variety of finishes like Belcaro Walnut, Provencal Blanc, French Beige, Mottled Copper with Gold Highlights, Patina Iron and Driftwood. With the most modern parts and features like touch controlled wall units and remote control, these fans offer quiet luxury to homeowners.
Outdoor Fans
Indoor fans cannot handle the vagaries of weather like strong sunlight, humidity and moisture so they are not installed in porches, gazebos and patios. Outdoor fans are specially made models with anti-rust coating and damp proof motors and rotary parts. Minka Aire has introduced outdoor variants for most of its popular models, so buyers can pick and choose depending on their preference. Both contemporary and classic designs are on offer such as models like Sundowner, Hearst Castle Santa Lucia, Moda and Gilera in different size variants and finishes. These outdoor fans (http://www.ehow.com/info_8107895_outdoor-fans.html) also carry an extensive warranty, so buyers can rest assured about the quality.
