What Is Blade Pitch and Why Is It Important?
Blade pitch is the angle, measured in degrees, between a 180 degree horizontal plane and a ceiling fan's blade tilt.
Why is it important?
The angle of the blade makes a difference in how much air a fan is able to circulate throughout a room. The optimal blade pitch for a ceiling fan is between 12 to 15 degrees.
This degree of blade pitch will allow your ceiling fan to move a "just right" amount of air...not too much (you don't need a wind tunnel in your room) and not too little (you do need to feel a nice breeze).
