      Oh thanks for the tip, LKVM. I will take note of that, as I need to cover a wide area. 😄


      According to my contractor.. the cheapest are wooden, then plastic and most exp are alluminium... best to cover wide area are the alluminium ones...

      Ok thanks so much... but just wondering if aluminium will rust easily or not...

          rust ? dont think so unless it is fixed outdoor or you wipe it daily with a very wet cloth.


          once every week or 2 wiping with a dry cloth is sufficient.

            I'm just concerned that when it rains and the wind blows onto the blades... but guess it's alright... I will check with the Sales person at the shop, for a suitable type of blade before getting the fan.

            Thanks LOLMum. :celebrate:

              Aluminium is non-rust right?


              As for the blossom fan, I only remember 1 size.

                  aluminium won’t rust, but the blade is thinner, and when cutting through the air, will produce sound


                  wooden blade is the quietest fan, at the lowest speed in the night, it is silent and the breeze is just right

                      mine was installed 12 years ago and still fine

                      so shadows cast below and we have 5 bulbs that can be switched on full or just 1 or 4 bulbs combination
                      Can't remember the brand though and also bought at Balestier
                      Looks like Balestier is THE Place! :imcool:
