Choosing The Right Wall Fans

When selecting a wall fan from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:

Blade diameter: Larger fans (18-inch models) move more air and suit bigger spaces, whilst smaller units (16-inch) work well in compact workshops. Calculate approximately 4 square metres of coverage per inch of blade diameter for guidance.

Speed settings: Three-speed fans offer versatility, allowing you to adjust airflow from gentle circulation to maximum cooling depending on temperature and workspace activity levels.

Remote control functionality: Remote-controlled models provide convenient operation without needing to reach the unit, particularly useful when fans are mounted at height or in awkward locations.

Power supply: All models operate on standard 240v mains electricity. Ensure adequate power socket placement near your intended mounting location.

Build quality: Professional-grade fans feature metal guards and robust motor housings designed for continuous operation in demanding trade environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height should I mount a wall fan?

Mount wall fans at approximately 2 to 2.5 metres above floor level for optimal air circulation. This height ensures effective coverage whilst keeping the fan safely out of the way in busy work environments. Always follow manufacturer mounting instructions and ensure secure fixing to load-bearing walls.

Can wall fans operate continuously in commercial settings?

Yes, professional wall fans are designed for extended operation in trade and commercial environments. Models feature heavy-duty motors built to withstand continuous use throughout working days, though it's advisable to follow manufacturer recommendations regarding duty cycles.

Are wall fans suitable for outdoor use?

Standard wall fans are designed for indoor use only. For outdoor or exposed locations, check product specifications for weather-resistant models rated for external mounting.
