Craftsmanship and Customization at Its Core
Since 1992, Matthews Fan Company has crafted statement-making fans for both residential and commercial applications, marrying industrial precision with architectural appeal. Built from cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel and bench-tested before shipping, these fans exemplify durable, performance-driven design. Most models include a limited lifetime warranty—a testament to their enduring quality.
Finish Options: Refined
Matthews fans are available in a thoughtfully curated selection of finishes, both for motors and blades. Options vary by model but commonly include:
-
Body Finishes: Brushed Brass, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Matte White, Textured Bronze, Gloss White, Brushed Stainless, Polished Chrome, and more.
-
Blade Finishes: Natural wood tones (Barn Wood, Walnut, Mahogany), ABS blades in Matte Black, Gray Ash, Matte White, and even pastel tones like Light Pink and Lilac in the Alessandra Tropical series.
-
Specialty Finishes: Options like the Marine-grade 316 stainless steel on the Donaire line for coastal wet environments.
These finish combinations allow for seamless integration with any design aesthetic — from coastal modern to industrial chic.
Size Options: Scaled for Every Space
Matthews offers fans in a wide range of diameters to accommodate everything from cozy nooks to expansive great rooms. Common size offerings include:
-
Rotational and Directional Fans: 13" to 46" fan head sizes
-
Paddle Fans: 42", 48", 52", 56", 60", 64", and 72" diameters
-
Ceiling Hugger Options: For low-ceiling environments, models like the Eliza-H offer a slim profile with full airflow capabilities
This flexibility ensures each fan provides appropriate scale and performance without compromising design integrity.
Downrod Options: Precision Fit for Every Ceiling Height
Every Matthews fan includes one 10" field-cuttable downrod by default. Additional downrod lengths are available in 5", 10", 18", 20", 24", 30", 36", 48", 60", and 72" sizes, with a 1-inch diameter standard.
Mounting options accommodate up to:
-
30° sloped ceilings (standard)
-
60° cathedral mounts (optional)
These adaptable installation solutions ensure a tailored fit and proper airflow regardless of ceiling height or pitch.
Commitment to Quality: Quiet Performance, Smart Engineering
Matthews fans are engineered with:
-
DC or AC motors for ultra-quiet, efficient operation
-
Precision blade pitch and design to maximize airflow (e.g., up to 8869 CFM on the 72" Alessandra)
-
Integrated LED light kits with dimmable options and 90+ CRI ratings on select models
-
UL / CUL / ETL safety certifications
Every unit is visually inspected and rotational/oscillating models are bench-tested before shipment. Matthews also avoids “field destroy” practices—95% of materials from returns or defects are recycled or repurposed.
