Are the blades on this fan metal?

Yes they are, but don't buy this fan from Amazon. Mine was missing parts and Amazon never did make it right. :(

These blades are not reversible, if you need help locating fans that have reversible blades just let us know! :)

As far as I can tell there is no metal in the blades. It appears that way in the photos because of the way the light is shining on them. I took mine out and looked at them and the blades are entirely the black ceramic color. Hope this helps : )

The fan blades are brown on one side and beige on the other side. The fan blades are reversible. Either side was pretty to me. Some of my fan were installed with the brown side and the others were installed with the beige side.

There is no wood on this fan. Blades are plastic or some kind of composite material made to look like wood. Our fans are mounted outside under a patio cover. Standard fan blades will droop after they absorb moisture. These obviously will not. This was one of the reasons we purchased three of these fans.

Plastic, but not flimsy by any means. I believe that the original version used phenolic plastic fan blades but am not 100% certain. These are the same dark brown color that was commonly used back in the day.

Yes I believe they are. Best fans I have ever used, kidda ugly but highly recommend them.

the included blades move air just fine. Why would you want to change them? They are the reason why you would buy this fan.

The blades are plastic, but definitely not glossy, or at least not any glossier than wood appears. From below (which is how I view my ceiling fan), they look like wood. I'm very happy with this fan. It's close to the ceiling, quiet, and moves the air very efficiently.

The blades are not metal. i believe the blades are wood with a plastic covering to endure exterior use. This is an excellent product for exterior use. I have two fanS installed on a covered patio (OPEN ON BOTH ENDS) on a 6 ft down rod. Both fans were easy to install with no wobble. I do not believe metal fan blades would be a good choice for fan in a PARTIAL/ OPEN exterior (RUST/WEIGHT) LOCATION. This is my second year year with these fans, currently have had no problems.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor. All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

Yes, It comes with blades and is as pictured. It's an awesome fan - we get comments on it all the time.

Fan blades, stand and guard are metal. Buttons and rear housing are plastic. Height adjustable from 3.5 feet to 5 feet. The first one I had quit after 3 weeks they replaced it no problem and the one I have now hasn't had any issues. Seems like a decent fan but it is not commercial grade.

Hi - There is a metal grill on the inside and a heavy plastic protective grill on the outside. I am pleased with this fan.

Inside the unit there is a round spindle that has approximately 1/8" blades attached from top to bottom. I wouldn't describe the blades as being metal. They're more like durable plastic/aluminum blades, so in essence the whole spindle is what gets cleaned.

No for the simple fact that the blades are made of press wood....it will start to sag in a few months because of moisture and humidity....I would recomend a fan with metal blades plus I think by NEC code you have to use a fan with metal blades outdoor

The fans and the frame are metal as well. Actually, this is the main reason I ordered them.
