Matthews Fans Alessandra Tropical 48in 5-Blade Ceiling Fan | Transitional Brushed Nickel and Palm Leaf ABS | Covered Patio & Large | Model AKTP-BN-PL

A 48-inch wet-rated ceiling fan with a brushed nickel motor housing and palm leaf ABS blades, designed for covered outdoor spaces and large indoor rooms.

The Alessandra Tropical brings a tropical vibe to any space with its palm leaf blades and minimal form. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel construction is built to withstand the elements, while the ABS all-weather blades keep their finish through sun and rain. The included remote offers six speeds and silent operation, and the reversible DC motor adapts to seasonal airflow needs. It's a versatile, low-profile choice for anyone who wants comfort without sacrificing style.

Best for

• Covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos where it's exposed to weather
• Large bedrooms, dining rooms, or standard living rooms (144-225 sq. ft.)
• Spaces with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (optional 60-degree kit available)
• Homes that value quiet, energy-efficient cooling

Not ideal for

• Rooms smaller than 144 sq. ft. where a 48-inch blade span may feel overpowering
• Indoor-only installations if you prefer a light kit (this model has none)

How bright is it?

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

Light color and feel

No light kit included, so no color temperature or dimming features to consider.
