Product Description

Inspired by the steering wheel of a nautical ship, the Helm fan boasts an impressive 72" blade span and stylish two-tone finishes. Its plywood blades offer dual-sided contrasting finishes, allowing for customizable design. Choose from a Black frame with Natural Aged Brass accents paired with Black and White blades, or a Satin Nickel frame with White and Blackened Walnut blades. The energy-efficient DC motor is operated by a convenient remote control, which magnetically attaches to a standard wall plate. The integrated LED light kit features tunable color temperature, adjustable from warm 2700K to bright 5000K, offering versatile lighting options for any space.

Where it goes

Center in the room with blades 8–9 ft above the floor and 18″+ from walls. Match blade span to room size — see the sizing guide below.

Enter your room size to see the recommended blade span—and how this fan compares.

This fan’s blade span: 72"

Room sizeRecommended blade span
Up to 75 sq ft (bath, hallway)29–36″
76–144 sq ft (bedroom, office)36–44″
145–225 sq ft (living, dining)44–52″
226–400 sq ft (great room)52–60″
Over 400 sq ft60″+ or two fans

Which downrod length do you need?

Fans perform best with the blades about 8–9 ft above the floor. Enter your ceiling height for a downrod recommendation.

Getting the Size Right

Dimensions matter for every lighting type. Check the full Dimensions & Size specs above against your space before ordering.

  • Hanging fixtures: for a dining table, hang the bottom of the fixture 30–36″ above the table. In an entryway, keep at least 7 ft of floor clearance.
  • Chandelier diameter: a common starting point is room length (ft) + room width (ft) = fixture diameter in inches.
  • Vanity & sconces: mount sconces about eye level (60–66″) and size vanity lights to roughly 75% of the mirror width.
  • Outdoor: confirm the fixture’s wet/damp rating and that its scale suits the exterior wall or ceiling — outdoor fixtures often need to read larger.

Fans — Frequently Asked Questions

 

Add room length and width in feet — the sum equals approximate blade span in inches (12×14 ft room → 52-inch fan). Rooms over 18 feet may need two fans. Low ceilings under 8 feet need hugger or low-profile fans.

 

Ideal blade height is 8–9 feet from the floor. Subtract fan height from ceiling height, then subtract 8.5 feet — the remainder is downrod length. Sloped ceilings may need longer downrods and a sloped adapter kit.

 

Yes with a sloped-ceiling adapter (often for slopes up to 30–45°). Confirm compatibility with your fan model. Vaulted ceilings steeper than the adapter rating need special mounts or low-profile hugger fans.

 

Damp-rated fans suit covered patios and bathrooms with humidity. Wet-rated fans can be exposed to direct rain — open pergolas and coastal locations. Dry-location fans are indoor only — never use them outdoors or in shower rooms.

 

Varies by model — some are fan-only, others include integrated LED light kits. Remotes, wall controls, and pull chains differ by SKU. Check Included Controls and Bulbs Included on the product page before ordering.

 

Fan motors and blade finishes use different coatings than lighting fixtures. Even within one brand, "Matte Black" on a fan may differ slightly from a pendant. Order fan and room lights from one brand for closest match.

 

Blade count affects aesthetics more than airflow — motor quality and blade pitch determine performance. Five blades run quieter in many models. Three-blade fans often have a modern look. CFM (airflow) spec matters more than blade count.

 

Fans need a fan speed control (wall control or remote) — standard dimmers do not control motor speed. Light kits may dim separately if listed as dimmable. Use manufacturer-approved dual controls or smart remotes for combined fan/light.

 

CFM (cubic feet per minute) measures airflow. Bedrooms 1,500–4,000 CFM; large living rooms 5,000–9,000+ CFM. Higher CFM cools better but use ENERGY STAR models for efficiency. Low CFM fans look fine but move little air.

 

Fans ship in multiple cartons — motor, blades, downrod, and light kit separately. Large-diameter fans (60+ inches) may ship freight. Balance blades per the manual after assembly to avoid wobble. Estimated Ship Date varies by finish.
