When hot weather hits, most of us want the same thing: fast relief and a cooler, more comfortable room. The big question is whether a fan will do the job or if you need a portable air conditioning unit instead.

Metal blade fans are a popular choice for many consumers due to their durability and longevity. They are typically made from materials such as steel, aluminium, or copper, which can withstand wear and tear over time. Metal blades also tend to be more powerful than plastic blades, which means they can move more air in a shorter period. Explore our range of pedestal fans for all your cooling needs.

So, you’re hearing a rattle or a clonk and think, “What on earth is going on with my extractor fan?” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Noisy extractor fans can be a common problem in homes and offices alike. It's true that any fan is going to make some noise. The motor and fan blades naturally create sound, and in a tiled bathroom, that fan noise can feel even louder.
