Tower Fans

About Tower Fans

Tower fans provide an efficient and space-saving cooling solution for workshops, garages, offices, and commercial environments. Combining compact vertical design with powerful airflow, these fans deliver effective air circulation without occupying valuable floor space. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a professional range of tower fans from trusted brands including Sealey and Draper, featuring oscillating models, variable speed settings, and quiet operation options suitable for both trade and domestic applications.

Available in various sizes and performance levels, tower fans offer advantages over traditional pedestal or desk fans through their slim profile and stable base design. Modern tower fans feature safety grilles, tilt-resistant construction, and energy-efficient motors running on standard 240v mains power, making them ideal for continuous use in demanding work environments where reliable cooling is essential.

Applications

Tower fans are widely used across numerous trades and settings:

• Workshops and garages: Maintaining comfortable working temperatures during summer months and improving air circulation in enclosed spaces
• Automotive workshops: Providing cooling for mechanics and technicians working on vehicles in heated environments
• Offices and reception areas: Supplementing air conditioning or providing cost-effective cooling in smaller commercial spaces
• Retail environments: Ensuring customer and staff comfort in shops and showrooms
• Warehouses and storage facilities: Improving air movement in large open areas with limited ventilation
• Construction site cabins: Portable cooling solutions for temporary accommodation and site offices
• Home workshops: Keeping DIY enthusiasts comfortable during extended projects

Choosing The Right Tower Fans

When selecting a tower fan from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these essential factors:

• Coverage area: Match the fan size and power output to the space dimensions - larger workshops require models with greater airflow capacity
• Speed settings: Three-speed options provide flexibility for different temperatures and noise level requirements
• Oscillation function: Oscillating models distribute air across wider areas, ideal for open-plan spaces or multiple workstations
• Noise levels: Quiet operation models are essential for environments requiring concentration or customer interaction
• Height and stability: Taller models provide better air distribution but require stable bases to prevent tipping in busy workshops
• Build quality: Professional-grade construction ensures durability in dusty or demanding trade environments
• Power consumption: Energy-efficient motors reduce running costs for continuous daily operation

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between tower fans and pedestal fans?

Tower fans feature a vertical, space-saving design with a smaller footprint, making them ideal for areas with limited floor space. They typically offer quieter operation and a more modern aesthetic compared to pedestal fans, though pedestal models often provide adjustable height and wider airflow coverage for larger areas.

Can tower fans be used in dusty workshop environments?

Yes, professional tower fans from MyToolShed.co.uk are suitable for workshop use, though regular cleaning of grilles and filters is recommended to maintain performance. Models with removable grilles simplify maintenance in dusty conditions common to woodworking shops, garages, and construction environments.

Are tower fans energy-efficient for all-day use?

Modern tower fans are designed for energy efficiency, typically consuming between 30-60 watts depending on speed settings. Running on 240v mains power, they cost significantly less to operate than air conditioning units, making them economical for continuous use throughout working hours.
