6.1m Industrial Ceiling Fan, 1100W HVLS

About this fan

Where this range changes gear

The 6.1m is not simply the next size after the 5m. It is where the design changes: six blades instead of five, a heavier motor assembly, 103kg against 49kg, and a minimum mounting height that jumps from 3.6m to 5m. Coverage doubles in the same step, from 500m² to 1,000m².

That makes it the first fan in the range aimed at genuinely large buildings rather than large rooms. One fan covering 1,000m² of clear floor is the point at which a multi-fan layout starts collapsing into a single unit, with one controller, one circuit and one thing to maintain.

Slower, and that is the design

11,500 cubic metres a minute at 15 to 65 rpm. Compare that with the 5m: 15% more air from a fan turning at little more than half the speed. The sixth blade is what makes it work, giving the fan more surface to push with so it can move a bigger volume gently instead of a smaller one hard.

The practical effect underneath is a broad, even movement of air rather than a draught you can point to. In an occupied building that difference matters as much as the airflow figure, and it is still 38dB.

The 5m roof minimum is not negotiable

Below 5m this fan has nowhere to develop its column and you get an uncomfortable draught underneath with nothing happening at the walls. If your roof is between 3.6m and 5m, the 5m fan is the right answer and will outperform a 6.1m mounted too low. Above 5m, and especially from 8m, this size comes into its own.

How installation works

At 103kg and 5m or more off the floor, this is a lift job with a licensed electrical contractor, not a ladder job. The mounting point is assessed before anything is ordered, because it is a moving load on a single fixing. Hardware for concrete, I-beam and square steel is included, with a safety cable independent of the bracket. The fan is supplied by Festoon House as an authorised Down Under Fans reseller, and installed by our own licensed electricians across New South Wales.

A 6.1m sweep needs to be clear of sprinkler heads, lighting runs and gantry travel, and that circle is large enough that it usually decides the exact position. Send photos of the roof steel with your enquiry and most of this can be settled before anyone visits.

The 5-year warranty requires certified installation and is void if the fan is later relocated. How installation works
