In 2 bedrooms and the lounge room. Ours are the older model as we got them on special. 1. They do throw a lot of light. We have no other lighting in these areas except table lamps. 2. Ours are all white with the clear plastic blades. You hardly notice the blades when fan is working and of course no strobing because of the design. 3. They are very quiet. My husband turned one on the other day and I only realized it was on when I saw the vertical blinds moving. 4. We have only used ours on low or medium as this is enough to get rid of that horrible still heat. 5. The only hiccup we've had is one of them sometimes gets the slight wobbles. We've found if we turn it to high it stabilizes. Then we lower the speed and no more wobble. I have taken a photo of the one in lounge room. Didn't take any of the bedrooms because they are messy and I don't do housework Sundays ![]() Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Fanaway by snufl, on Flickr Re: Fan lights and bedroom solutions 14Nov 19, 2014 11:52 am @PAB_34, You have very beautiful house. I have bi-fold doors in my new house which I'm building. Would you please advice which company did the fly screen installation for the bi-fold doors? Does that fly screens installation has to be completed while the bi-fold doors are fitted or can be done after handover of the house? Thanks in advance. Re: Fan lights and bedroom solutions 15Nov 19, 2014 12:38 pm Hi Ace & thanks. It all comes down to what brand of bi-fold you're installing (e.g. Stegbar, Vantage, etc) and what screen system works best with each window manufacturer. We found to rolled up screens to be too bulky to try and build in (needed more than 90mm) so went with the concertina ones from Stegbar (manufactured by http://brio.com.au/screensolutions.html) with a recess built into each wall at either end to accommodate them without fouling the doors. It took a bit of time working with my builder to sort out what finished floor height we had and how that worked in with the bottom track of the bi-fold and the screen system, how the screens 'folded up' at each end so they didn't foul the door handle of the bi-fold, etc. Another thread here about it: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9817&p=1111705#p1111705 I believe they can be put on after the build but getting it sorted/built in during construction will give the best result. Good luck with it! ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: Fan lights and bedroom solutions 16Nov 19, 2014 1:51 pm ![]() @PAB_34, You have very beautiful house.

Retractable and pleated screens are ideal for screening bifold doors. If you are are still in the building phase it would be good to know more about the finish of your doors so that you can decide whether the screens should be installed with the doors or whether you have get them retrofitted. General rule of thumb: If your doors are going to be recessed into the floor then talk to your builder about the screens now so they can work with the fly screen installer. The last thing you want is to have to cut into your flooring. If no rebating is required then the screens can be retrofitted at a later stage.
