Although both cfm and wind speed are sharing the amount of work a ceiling fan can do they are two separate measurements.
Ceiling fans with high wind speed.
Plus many ceiling fans are a stylish addition to your home.
Your room is 20 x 30 with a 18 high ceiling.
When a ceiling fan has a high wind speed measured in mph you should not install it directly over a work station.
For windy locations we recommend fans with sturdy blades that do not have blade holders unibody fans.
You can get a high speed ceiling from 14 inches to 72 inches.
Plug the numbers into our calculator below and you will find the larger fan only has a 2 12 mph wind speed factor while the smaller fan is 4 34 mph.
With above average cfm ratings high airflow ceiling fans are designed to move large amounts of air using their oversized blades and powerful motors.

Most people would assume the 11 000 cfm fan will create the strongest breeze but that is incorrect.
Wind speed from a ceiling fan is sort of the same as the breeze between the two buildings that created the wind tunnel effect.
These fans are designed to keep significant amounts of air flowing in large areas.
Ceiling fans have been around since the late 1800s and the technology behind them is relatively simple.
Blade arms are the weakest part of the blade assembly and are easily broken when the fan sways and the blades hit the ceiling so fans without blade holders are a must in high wind.
To feel the more powerful wind speed you will need to be directly underneath the ceiling fan or at least very nearby and not far from the tips of the fan blades.
The best ceiling fan size for your application will depend on the environment you will use the fan.
You need to consider the room size square footage the height and the room features such as slops.
Cfm stands for cubic feet per minute and is a measure of how much air a fan circulates while it runs.
This is different that wind speed which is reported in miles per hour.
Ceiling fans with high airflow move more than 7000 cubic feet of air per minute cfm.
For small rooms we choose one small size yet high speed ceiling fan for you.
