WHY buy a Casablanca?
Style for life means energy conservation. In today's environment of increased
energy consciousness, quality design also mandates greater efficiency. With
this in mind, Casablanca is dedicated to creating fans that work smarter, not
harder, so that each element is fine-tuned to contribute to overall savings in
energy costs. The powerful Casablanca motors move more cubic feet of air per
minute (CFMs) while using significantly less energy. Fan blades are set at the
optimum pitch to provide maximum airflow at each speed setting. Even at the
highest setting, each fan consumes about the same amount of power as a
100-watt light bulb. Furthermore, a large number of Casablanca
fans are ENERGY STAR-qualified; and provide even greater
energy efficiency (look for the ENERGY STAR logo throughout
this catalog). Consumers can realize additional savings on energy costs by
using the forward and reverse settings, which allow for increased circulation
of air in the summer and winter. Best yet, consumers can save up to 40%
on cooling costs and 10% on heating costs by operating a Casablanca fan
year-round. Whoever said getting the utility bill had to be a bad experience?
*UL Damp- and UL Wet-rated fans come with a 30-year warranty.

CONCEPT
MANUFACTURING
From the furniture-grade wood veneer on the blades to the hearings in the motor, the exquisite craftsmanship
INSPECTION
of a Casablanca fan extends deep beneath its finish.
Discerning consumers know that quality construction and meticulous attention to detail create a superior product, which will ultimately yield superior performance and lasting durability.
The following pages outline the process behind Casablanca's legendary reputation tor quality and reliability.
Read on through the various phases of development, as one of Casablanca's flagship products, the 19th Century evolves from inception through final inspection.
PHASE ONE : CONCEPT
The 19th Century fan began as a thought...an idea.
Even in today's computerized world, the sketchpad remains the starting point for many new ideas.
Pencil and paper began a labor of love that moved elegantly from concept to reality.
The goal was simple: to create an original and authentic fan of the highest quality, representative of the gaslight era.
PHASE TWO : DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
Rough concepts evolved into detailed renderings.
Computers aided in the exploration of dimensions, textures, shapes, and colors, as designers and engineers worked in close collaboration.
Prototypes were subjected to the most challenging conditions.
Each process was long, arduous, and ultimately worth every painstaking step.
PHASE THREE : MANUFACTURING
Each 19th Century component is created for a specific purpose. Materials were chosen for quality, durability, and beauty, then crafted and honed until form and function perform as one.
Use of virgin zinc (not re-melted scrap) creates die-cast housings, blade holders, and other components of substantial weight, structural integrity, and inherent beauty.
PHASE FOUR : FINISHED METAL
There are no less than 15 different steps in the plating process of the 19th Century fan.
The finishes are applied in meticulous steps for exceptional durability and a brilliant jewel-like finish.
Several steps of the plating process are shown at left.
PHASE FIVE : HAND-MADE GLASS
The custom glass shades for the 19th Century are hand-blown in France in the world-renowned Vianne factory.
After being molded into their distinctive shape, skilled artisans hand-silkscreen the vintage-era pattern on the glass.
PHASE SIX : FINISHED WOOD
The distinctively-shaped custom 19th Century blades consist of six inner layers of wood in a cross-laminated pattern that are finished with two outer layers of real Mahogany or Cherry furniture-grade wood veneer.
PHASE SEVEN : INSPECTION
Before being packed for shipping, every component of the 19th Century fan is carefully inspected.
Every detail is given meticulous attention under strict quality control standards and the final product is inspected to ensure proper form, fit and (unction.
