The size of a ceiling fan is based on its blade span (also known as blade sweep), which is the diameter of the circle created when the blades are spinning. Blade span can be determined by measuring from tip to tip of one fan blade to the tip of the blade across from it.
To determine what size you need for your room, refer to our Ceiling Fan Size Guide:
