Matthews Fan Alessandra 56in 3-Blade Ceiling Fan | Transitional Matte Black and Light Maple ABS | Outdoor Patio & Covered Porch | Model AK-BK-LM-56

A 56-inch three-blade ceiling fan from Matthews Fan Company, finished in matte black with light maple tone ABS blades, designed for wet-rated outdoor and indoor use.

The Alessandra combines minimalist design with robust construction. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel housing is built to last, while the light maple ABS blades offer a warm, natural look that resists moisture. The DC motor operates silently, and the included remote provides six speeds and a reverse function for year-round comfort. This fan is suitable for fully exposed outdoor areas, making it a versatile choice for open decks, pergolas, and covered porches.

Best for

• Outdoor living areas such as open decks, pergolas, and gazebos, where wet-rated durability is essential
• Covered patios and porches that need efficient airflow without a light kit
• Medium to large rooms like great rooms, living areas, or open-concept spaces seeking a transitional design
• Homes with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees, with an optional 60-degree cathedral canopy mount available
• Year-round comfort with the reverse function for winter air circulation

Not ideal for

• Indoor-only spaces where a light kit is required, as this fan does not include one
• Rooms with ceilings under 8 feet if you prefer a flush mount, as this fan requires a downrod
• Small bedrooms or offices where a 56-inch blade span may be overpowering

How bright is it?

This fan does not include a light kit, so brightness is not applicable. It is designed for airflow, not illumination.

Light color and feel

No light kit included, so there is no light color or color temperature to consider. The fan's finish and blade color contribute to a warm, neutral aesthetic.

The overall dimensions are 56 inches wide by 56 inches deep by 8 inches high, with 5-inch and 10-inch downrods included. The canopy is 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches high.
