Minka-Aire Concept Series

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Both the Minka-Aire Concept I and Concept II fans offer an elegant, contemporary design suitable for nearly any room in the home. The simple design makes it easy to match the clean indoor lighting products to your room, as both the Concept I and Concept II come in quality finishes such as brushed nickel, white, or oil rubbed bronze.

The main point of difference between the two high-quality series of ceiling fans is the type of mounting. For the tighter locations, such as a small loft, the Concept II Series would fit best; it offers a flush mount to the ceiling, giving you all of the space you desire without giving up any of the efficiency. Following the tradition of superior engineering at Minka, the three, 52” blades of the Concept keep the air in your room moving just as well as competing ceiling fans that are twice the size while only using a hanging depth of 10.5”.

For those who have higher ceilings, the Concept I is a perfect fit. The Concept I comes with galvanized steel 3.5” and 6” downrods, which allow for adjustment to fit the height of the ceiling.

With the consumer in mind, Minka-Aire has constructed the Concept series to require 75% less time and labor to assemble than conventional ceiling fans. Also, the Concept series has been UL listed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for wet situations since it has been UL listed for wet locations. The included easy to use remote also makes the operation of these ceiling fans a “breeze”.

Keeping Cool in the Summer

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

With summer half over you shouldn’t miss out on spending as much time as possible outside. Whether that means going and enjoying a ball game, hanging out at the lake, or relaxing at home you should being keeping cool.

A great at home option for beating the heat are our outdoor ceiling fans. We have a very wide selection of outdoor ceiling fans in traditional, contemporary, transitional, and many other styles.

Here are my top five outdoor ceiling fans that we have at ButlerLighting.com:

This first fan is a Concept II F574-WH.  This is a very modern ceiling fan is one of the most popular ceiling fans out on the market.  It has a 52” blade sweep and has a white finish.  This fan is from MinkaAire.

Next we have the 21191.  This also a very modern fan with a 54” blade sweep and a new bronze finish.  The blades themselves are a made from fabric.  This fan comes from Hunter Fan Company.

That is followed by the 5VCBK.  This fan has more of a tropical feel to it as you can tell by looking at the fan blades.  The fan has a 54” blade sweep and has a all black finish.  This Monte Carlo fan is from the Vera Cruz Collection.

Here is the 41U546D. This fan is a little more traditional fan but it has an extra fan blade to help circulate more air.  But in addition to the extra blade it also has a smaller blade sweep at 45” with makes it perfect for your smaller outdoor areas.  The finish of the fan is brushed cocoa fan from Casablanca’s from the Wailea Family.

Finally we have the 143525-906.  This fan is a more traditional fan as it has a smaller motor with makes the blades appear to be larger and more spread out.  The blade sweep is 52” and this Quorum fan has a finish of white.

There is nothing like staying cool on those hot summer evenings!
