Considering fan options

Click for larger picture.

These are the fans that we are thinking about the house. The fans labelled Gx are options for the Great Room, and the fans labelled Sx are options for the Solarium. The option 1 fans are from Home Depot, and the option 2 fans are from a specialty fan store. The G2 and S2 fans are very quiet and don't wobble at all, not sure if the same would be true about the HD fans.

There probably isn't much utility in getting a fan with a light for the great room, as the fan will be fairly high so the light will not be much use. Because the solarium is a smaller room, a light on a fan there will be more useful.

We will defer purchasing the fans until we are closer to completion, as this is an optional finishing touch. In any case, we will have the wiring, etc, installed for the fan, and leave it for later if needed.

I really love S2 - Emerson Kitty Hawk in maple and brushed steel - it really does look like a biplane. The cost for that is 3.5x the cost of S1, however (!). (The cost for G2 is about 2xG1.)
