Ceiling Fan Size Chart: Room Dimensions vs. Fan Sizes

Up to 8x8 sq. ft	900mm (36 inches)	Medium
Up to 10x10 sq. ft	1200mm (48 inches)	Standard

How to Measure Ceiling Fan Size

Ceiling fan size refers to the diameter of the circle traced by the fan blades when in motion. Here's a quick guide on how to measure ceiling fan size:

For fans with an even number of blades:

○ Measure the distance from the tip of one blade to the opposite blade.

For fans with an odd number of blades:

○ Measure the distance from the tip of one blade to the center of the fan and multiply by two.

This measurement gives you the ceiling fan diameter and helps determine if it’s suitable for your room.
