Ceiling Fan On Beam

Ceiling fan hanging on beam.

Ceiling fan on beam.

We had wanted a wider beam wrap but somehow this is. So it will hang out past the beam wrap by 0 5 on each side. Premium beam mount fans with a ball bearing motor and cupped fan blades these fans last longer and focus airflow better than economy fans. Only install a ceiling fan with the power to your alumawood patio turned off.

As with the rest of the alumawood patio the fan beam must be installed by an expert. The wires are color specific. Make the proper electrical connections when mounting a ceiling fan on the beam and it will be as safe as if you made those electrical connections in a junction box. You can mount a ceiling fan directly onto the beam using the ceiling fan s canopy the canopy houses the electrical wiring as easily as an electrical box can.

Order your alumawood patio with a fan beam. We have a ceiling beam wrap that is 5 5 wide and our fan base is 6 5 wide. Step 5 install the ceiling fan onto the beam. All have a direct drive motor which has fewer moving parts than belt drive motors for less maintenance.

How much overhang if any is acceptable for the fan base to hang past the width of the beam. Fan beams are the most popular alumawood upgrade a ceiling fan will dramatically change the temperature in the hot summer months. Newport and insulated covers use different beams the newport uses a rectangle tube that is installed on top of the roof panel and the roof panel is capped the insulated covers also use a rectangle tube but it is embedded inside of the 3 thick foam panel.
