A 48-inch wet-rated ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, built for fully exposed outdoor areas like open decks, pergolas, and gazebos, with a matte black motor housing and walnut tone ABS blades.
The Alessandra Tropical pairs a minimal tropical silhouette with serious airflow, moving air quietly through rooms up to 225 square feet. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel construction shrugs off weather, while the ABS blades resist moisture and warping. A 10-inch downrod and sloped ceiling canopy (up to 30 degrees) are included, and the included remote gives you six speeds and a reversible motor for year-round comfort.
Best for
- Covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos where the fan is fully exposed to weather
- Open decks and outdoor living areas that need reliable airflow in all conditions
- Large indoor rooms from 144 to 225 sq. ft., like primary bedrooms, dining rooms, or great rooms
- Homes with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (optional 60-degree kit available)
- Anyone who wants quiet, efficient cooling with remote control convenience
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 144 sq. ft. where a 48-inch blade span would overpower the space
- Indoor-only installations if you need a light kit (this model does not include one)
- Ceilings steeper than 30 degrees without the optional cathedral ceiling mounting kit
How bright is it?
This fan does not include a light kit, so there is no brightness to consider. It is designed purely for air movement.
Light color and feel
No light kit included, so no color temperature or dimming features apply.
