Top Picks for ABS Ceiling Fans

Thanks to ABS, ceiling fans have become more stylish and functional than ever. What does ABS mean? ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, a flexible thermoplastic material that is easily molded into different shapes. Using ABS in ceiling fan design allows for a unique and precise fan blade design that looks beautiful and creates a strong airflow.

Advantages of ABS

ABS has a multitude of advantages. Since it’s plastic, it’s incredibly lightweight, durable and rust proof, making it an ideal material for ceiling fans in outdoor covered areas like patios and porches. Fan blades made of ABS provide high-performance, maximum efficiency, and robust airflow. 

Aesthetically, because ABS is easily shaped, it offers multiple beautiful design opportunities. For example, instead of traditional flat fan blade designs, ceiling fan designers can create a variety of unique, three-dimensional fan blade profiles. And ABS material can be finished to look like real wood, fabric, or even textured metal.
