Monte Carlo

Their products are fashion-forward and sometimes focused on trends in nature. If you are an outdoorsy, modern person, you will love Monte Carlo ceiling fans. All air circulation products can be connected to a universal, handheld remote or a wall mount to control both fan speed and light.

Casablanca

This company was founded in 1974 and began marketing its fans as furniture. To this day, they have carried on their founder’s belief that ceiling fans are more than appliances; they are an important component of our home décor. If you are a trend-setter who favors modern over traditional design, a Casablanca ceiling fan may be right for you. Their craftsmen like to push the boundaries with what they call “new traditional” styles. Finishes include brushed nickel, industrial rust and snow white – a color for everyone. Some of their creations have been described as aeronautical, transitional and fashionable and they continue to raise the bar with new ideas.
