2. • Comfort - A ceiling fan creates a sense of quiet enjoyment and ease, making your life a lot more comfortable.
• Style - Customize your ideal ceiling fan by selecting your motor model, blade set, accessories and finishes from our extensive collection.
• Cool - Elevate your lifestyle to a cool and fashionable level with a Solent fan.
• Colour finishes are listed under three categories:
• Standard - Black and white
• Antique - Bronze, gold and silver
• Trend - Exclusive colours detailed in the brochure. Specialised colours are available on request.
• Outdoor Use - Ceiling fans can be used on verandas or patios but must not be exposed directly to water.
Exposure to direct sea air will cause corrosion.
• Mosquito deterrent - The no.1 mosquito deterrent is a ceiling fan as mozzies are weak fliers and shy away from wind.
• Effective cooling - Solent ceiling fans provide highly effective cooling by creating a wind chill which makes you feel cooler by
accelerating evaporation of perspiration on your skin. It does not lower the temperature of the room.
• After sales back-up - Solent provides an exceptional back-up service.
• Authority on ceiling fans - We offer expert technical advise and assistance.
• Installation of ceiling fans must be carried out by a certified technician or electrician.
• Warranty - Solent offers a 2 year no nonsense warranty which is valid on conditions of proper installation.

• Precisely balanced - Each blade in the set is the same weight which ensures that the
fans are wobble free.
• Aluminium - Corrosion resistant and aerodynamically shaped, providing highly effective
cooling.
• Wood - Marine ply and weather resistant ensures no swelling, sagging or distortion. Designed
for optimal air delivery but less effective than the aluminium blade.
• Blade sets - Number of blades vary for each motor model. More blades does not
necessarily mean more air delivery but can be more aesthetically pleasing than a three
blade fan.
• Air delivery and fan speed vary greatly depending on the number of blades, blade sweep
and blade material.
• Blade sweep - The overall diameter from blade tip to blade tip.
• Blade sweep selection - use the following rule of thumb table.
• Safety - Take into account that the blades need to be clear of open cupboard doors,
not be within reach of bunk beds and not cross over any lighting as it may cause a
flickering effect.

4. • Minimum height regulation - For safety reasons fan blades should not be lower
than 2300mm above floor level.
• Maximum height installation - No restrictions, however fans mounted too high
will affect the cooling efficiency.
• Angled or vaulted ceiling install a wedge that provides a horizontal surface for
attaching the down rod.
• Standard 230mm downrod, shackle assembly and hanging u hook are supplied
with each fan.
• Shorter downrods can be used on certain models, however the fan will be prone
to wobbling.
• Longer downrods - Standard longer lengths are 450mm and 900mm.
• No wobble or movement is experienced when using long downrods.
• Customised length downrods are available up to 6 metres.
• Formula for calculating customised length down rod length:
Floor to ceiling height minus 2300mm (min blade height regulation from floor)
minus 110mm (motor Measurement) minus 60mm (hanging shackle)
equals downrod length
If you require the fan to be higher than 2300mm above the floor substitute the
2300mm in the formula with the desired height:
Floor to ceiling height minus 3000mm (desired height from floor)
minus 110mm minus 60mm equals downrod length
D = X - (2300mm + 110mm + 60mm)
