A 48-inch wet-rated ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for covered outdoor areas and large indoor rooms, with a textured bronze motor housing and matte black blades.
The Alessandra Tropical combines a minimal tropical form with rugged durability. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel construction is built to withstand fully exposed outdoor conditions, while the ABS all-weather blades resist moisture and warping. The textured bronze housing pairs with matte black blades for a sophisticated, transitional look that works in both modern and traditional settings. Powered by a quiet DC motor with six speeds and a convenient remote control, this fan delivers efficient cooling without the noise.
Best for
- Covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos where wet-rated durability is essential
- Large bedrooms, dining rooms, and standard living rooms (144-225 sq. ft.)
- Homes with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (optional 60-degree kit available)
- Anyone wanting a quiet, energy-efficient DC motor with remote control
- Transitional or industrial interiors seeking a dark, grounded accent
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 144 sq. ft. where a 48-inch blade span may feel overpowering
- Indoor-only use if you need a light kit (this model does not include one)
- Spaces with ceilings lower than 8 feet, as the 10-inch downrod adds height
How bright is it?
This fan does not include a light kit, so brightness is not applicable. It is designed for air circulation, not illumination.
Light color and feel
No light kit included, so color temperature and dimming do not apply. The fan's finish and blade colors set the visual tone: textured bronze and matte black create a rich, dramatic contrast.
Sizing and fit
The fan measures 48 inches in blade span, 48 inches wide, and 8 inches high, with a 10-inch downrod included. It suits rooms from 144 to 225 square feet. The sloped ceiling canopy supports up to 30 degrees, with an optional 60-degree kit for cathedral ceilings. The canopy is 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches high.
