A 48-inch wet-rated ceiling fan from Matthews Fans' Alessandra Tropical collection, built for covered outdoor spaces and large indoor rooms, with a textured bronze motor housing and light maple ABS blades.
The Alessandra Tropical combines minimal tropical styling with serious air-moving capability. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel construction is built to withstand fully exposed outdoor areas like open decks, pergolas, and gazebos, while the ABS all-weather blades resist moisture and warping. The included 10-inch downrod and sloped ceiling canopy (up to 30 degrees) make installation flexible, and the 6-speed DC motor runs silently for comfort without noise.
Best for
- Covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos where a wet-rated fan is essential
- Large bedrooms, dining rooms, or standard living rooms (144-225 sq. ft.)
- Outdoor entertaining areas that need quiet, powerful air circulation
- Homes with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (optional 60-degree kit available)
- Anyone wanting a customizable look with 5 body finishes and 10 blade options
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 144 sq. ft. where a 48-inch blade span may be overpowering
- Indoor-only use if you need a light kit – this model does not include one
- Low ceilings under 8 feet without a flush mount option (downrod required)
