Bamboo fans

Bamboo fans come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. Some of the available types of bamboo fans include bamboo ceiling fans, mini bamboo fans, and Japanese fans. Each of these bamboo fans has their own unique design purposes.

The first type of bamboo fans that we will look at are bamboo ceiling fans. Bamboo ceiling fans can be found in most department stores, lighting stores, and home improvement stores. Their designs run the spectrum from tropical to contemporary.

The second type of bamboo fans that we will look at are rattan ceiling fans. While rattan is often commonly confused with bamboo, it is actually a type of palm. Rattan ceiling fans also tend to be design primarily as tropical looking fans as opposed to more sophisticated design styles.

The third type of bamboo fans that we will look at are mini bamboo fans. These types of fans are usually used as a wedding favor or party favor. They are simply a smaller version of a full sized bamboo frame. The bamboo in these fans is generally just the ribbing, however, in some cases bamboo paper is also used in the construction of the fan.

The final type of bamboo fans that we will look at are Japanese fans. Japanese fans utilize bamboo as its support system. Then paper is stretched across the bamboo ribs and painted with a traditional Japanese design. These fans are designed to bring good luck to the user as well as help keep them cool.
