A 42-inch three-blade ceiling fan from Matthews Fan Company, finished in matte black with light maple tone ABS blades, designed for wet-rated outdoor and indoor use.
The Alessandra combines minimalist design with robust construction. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel housing is built to last, while the light maple ABS blades offer a warm, natural look that resists moisture. The DC motor operates silently, and the included remote provides six speeds and a reverse function for year-round comfort. This fan is suitable for fully exposed outdoor areas, making it a versatile choice for open decks, pergolas, and covered porches.
Best for
- Outdoor living areas such as open decks, pergolas, and gazebos, where wet-rated durability is essential
- Covered patios and porches that need efficient airflow without a light kit
- Small to medium rooms like bedrooms, offices, or dining areas seeking a transitional design
- Homes with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees, with an optional 60-degree cathedral canopy mount available
- Year-round comfort with the reverse function for winter air circulation
Not ideal for
- Indoor-only spaces where a light kit is required, as this fan does not include one
- Rooms with ceilings under 8 feet if you prefer a flush mount, as this fan requires a downrod
- Large great rooms or open-concept areas where a 42-inch blade span may be insufficient
How bright is it?
This fan does not include a light kit, so brightness is not applicable. It is designed for airflow, not illumination.
Light color and feel
No light kit included, so there is no light color or color temperature to consider. The fan's finish and blade color contribute to a warm, neutral aesthetic.
