How to Choose the Right Ceiling Fan

IN JUST 4 STEPS!
Step 1

Measure the Room Size

Length (meters) x Width (meters) of room = room's sqm

Step 2

Measure the Ceiling Height

For ceilings 2.4 meter or lower, consider hugger ceiling fans (Hiro or Altis+).

For higher ceilings, you may need an extended downrod for proper installation.

In Singapore, the standard ceiling height for flats is typically about 2.6 meters, allowing most fans models to be suitable.

Step 3
