Keep your cool.
Suppliers of high-quality ceiling fans, Solent’s mission is to keep clients cool – in style.
As such, the company’s range of indoor and outdoor ceiling fans are fully customisable and all come with a no-nonsense three-year warranty.
And while we are all familiar with indoor ceiling fans, you might wonder why one would need an outdoor ceiling fan. Well, there are a surprising number of benefits to installing a ceiling fan outside:
It keeps you cool
Just like regular indoor ceiling fans, outdoor ceiling fans are a great way to keep cool on a warm summer’s day.
As South Africans, we spend the majority of our time outside, so it makes sense to have a fan to circulate air (especially in an enclosed patio or braai room) to keep you comfortable.
It keeps bugs away
One or two large ceiling fans outside can be a highly effective way of keeping bugs, especially mosquitoes, away in the evening.
It increases the use you get from outdoor living areas
Patios, balconies, stoepe – the comfier any of these are, the more we use them. As extensions of our homes, these spaces should be comfortably kitted out with all the essentials you may need to function optimally in the space. This includes cool, fresh air.
It makes entertaining more pleasant
If you love to host parties and braais, an outdoor ceiling fan is a definite must. Because the human body emits heat, spaces in which we gather can quickly get hot and uncomfortable. Installing a fan can help regulate the temperature.
