Don't let a name fool you. It's really only been since the early 1970s that ceiling fans have been booming in popularity, so no, Humphrey Bogart didn't bring this particular fan back from Panama way back in the 1930s.
However; now that we've cleared all that up, there are yet some very special features that set this particular fan apart from the crowd. For instance, are you aware that the Casablanca Panama fan was the very first five bladed fan to be introduced to the market?
So what makes five blades so special? Well, not much really. That is unless there's a good motor behind them that can push the extra wind that five blades can grab. Casablanca's XLP Motor is just such a motor. It packs the required horsepower and also comes with a lifetime guarantee.
So the mid-range priced Panama is very high quality, quite, balanced, wobble free unit that comes in pretty much any type of finish that you can imagine. This fan is also available with a long list of blade and lighting styles as well, so there really is no one way to describe how it looks.
However; if the Casablanca Panama fan had to be described, one could say that it's a classically styled, very solid looking fan that's ideal for any situation where an attractive workhorse is needed to compliment rather then dominate the decor.
All things considered, this is the perfect fan for commercial settings or a home where a person is looking for a classic look that isn't going to go out of style in ten years. A fan design that will stand the test of time and look and work just as well decades down the road.
Features and choices are what this fan that consistently rates 5 out of five stars is all about. It's available in antique brass, brushed nickel, rustic iron, architectural white, oil rubbed bronze, classic white, snow white and bright brass.
Features include: 15 degree blade pitch (for maximum thrust), choice of 42'' or 50'' blade span, 6 speed settings (40 to 194 rpm), reverse function, optional light kit, weight (20 pounds), lifetime warranty (XLP Hi-Performance Motor), both flush and down rod mounting capabilities.
