Hello,
I am new on this forum site but not really new in a certain way beacause i have been checking and fallowing each subject and treads on this forum since October 2004. I was just too shy to login. Please dont consider me too new. I know what this site is about, i know what are the discutions and so long. Please I know that i am making somes mistakes while riting beacause my first language is french not english. I am from Montreal located in the south of the province of Quebec in southern Canada. Quebec is a french taking province also english but mostely french. Its wierd that the are no body overseas login on this site.
Here a distription of my favorite kind of ceiling fans(just to give you a idea): Polished brass, 4 oak blades , no light kit , I like mostely Ge vents but also Builder vents, plain or fillgree sideband is nice. I like very traditional ceiling fans styles, not too modern like the 5 blades ones of today. My favorites ceiling fans brands are: Casablanca, Hunter, Craftmade and SMC.
My favorite number of blades on a ceiling fan is 4. I hate 6 is soo ugly, 3 looks good on industrials fans and 5 is just getting too popular since 1987. I have started too be facinated by fans when I was like 3 years old. My first intrestad started with a desk fan but now I like mostely ceililng fans.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! Glad you came out of your hole...  I have some family up in Canada, in Monteal. I have some pictures of their fans, but it's on my old video camera, with the A/V cable output, so I have no way of connecting it to the computer. I'll play it on tv, and take a picture of it there. |

Thanks Ben for welcoming me . Yes I know the ceiling fans in Canada are not very great and elaborated compare to the ones in the US. But a least they are better quality than the ones in Europe ans Asia. Beacause we uses the same voltage as you: 120volts 60hZ. In Europe they have: 220volts 50HZ its weird. And please don't think that beacause I live in Canada that we are alwayse in winter ITS NOT TRUE. Somtimes its SOOO humide in summer that are temperatures goes over the ones in Florida or Louisiana that what we called ''Humidex''. Presently are temparatures are around 25 degree Celcius its just comfortable, but last week its was sooo flipping hot.  |

Wow tu parle francais  pour le moment j'en ai seulement un  C'est un Encon Princess 42'' tres cheap qui j'ai eu en Aout 2000. Je crois que Forkfan en a un pareille .Il est bruyant et parfois il branle ''wobble'' on high and/or meduim speed. Dans environ 3 semaines je vais avoir un Craftmade Decorative fini laiton poli que j'ai commandé de Cornwall Lighting & Electrical Showroom pour le remplacer. Mais bien sur je vais garder mon Encon. I am still young please let me time to started. I am only 15. Will be 16 in about 3 weeks. |

Hey! Someone my age, kinda...! I turned 15 last month. Pierce isn't that much older though... As of my French, I took a year of French in 6th grade (I know that in Canada it's something different) until I got into a different school, which only offered Spanish. As of now, I know enough to both get me around, and get my butt kicked... |

Mon père était français, ainsi je la parlais quand j'étais un enfant. Je ne peux pas me rappeler beaucoup. C'est un Encon Princess 42'' tres cheap qui j'ai eu en Aout 2000. ... Il est bruyant et parfois il branle ''wobble'' on high and/or meduim speed. Tous des ventilateurs Encon sont crap. Aucun des vitesses font une brise. Ton ventilateur secoue-t-il à vitesse lente? Je crois que Forkfan en a un pareille. Ouais, tu as raison. Mais il est parti. Dans environ 3 semaines je vais avoir un Craftmade Decorative fini laiton poli que j'ai commandé de Cornwall Lighting & Electrical Showroom pour le remplacer. PORQUOI?! Les ventilateurs Craftmade sont horrible! Pourquoi n'as-tu pas acheté un ventilateur Emerson? Ou casablanca? Ou Hunter? Mais bien sur je vais garder mon Encon. Porquoi? Tu as dit que c'est "très cheap". |

Yes Adam I know a lot about fans especially since I discovered this site. Si j'ai choisi un Craftmade c'est parceque les Casablanca sont TROP chere.J'aurais voulu un Casablanca Ventura mais il coutent au moins 280$ mais au Canada je crois q'ils coutent au moins 500$. Les Emersons ne sonts pas tellement disponible au Canada. J'ai FAILLIT acheter un Hunter Bayport 42'' mais il n'étaient PAS disponible en laiton poli.  et je n'aiment PAS laiton antique ou TOUT blanc. J'ai cru lire quelque part que le Craftmade Decorative est installable a 4 pales meme si il vient a 5 pales? Est que c'est vrai??? Sorry if I did not rite it in english. ;D   Non Pierce mon Encon NE secoue pas a Low speed. |

Quelques ventilateurs ont deux cercles où tu peux monter les pales: le premier cercle (l'externe) a les trous pour monter avec cinq pales; le deuxième cercle (l'intérieur) a les trous pour monter avec quatre pales.  s'il |
