About Us
Formed in 1985, Fantasia Ceiling Fans are credited as the pioneers of the UK market and have developed a reputation for exceptional quality, service and value for money. The Fantasia range of both contemporary and traditional styles has been developed over the past two decades and now consists of over 20 models in 18 finishes and 7 sizes. These are complemented by a comprehensive range of accessories such as light kits, wall lights, remote controls and wall controls. Some models have lights attached but most are light adaptable giving a wide variety of options to suit individual tastes. Fantasia fans combine large motors with a steep blade pitch to maximize the circulation of air whilst ensuring quiet, efficient and wobble-free operation. This enables us to confidently offer a 10 year limited warranty on our fan motors. Our mission at Fantasia Distribution Ltd is to provide both high quality products and an after sales service that is second to none. We aim to support our customers by way of exceptional delivery times, consistent product quality and stock availability. We will strive to remain at the forefront of new product development, consistently developing innovative products. We always aim to meet and then exceed our customers’ expectations. Fantasia Ceiling Fans are available nationwide from leading department stores, selected independent lighting retailers and electrical wholesalers. For more information visit our website or contact our sales office. TECHNICAL Fantasia fans can be operated in summer for a cooling effect and reversed in winter to re-circulate warm air trapped at ceiling level. Fantasia fan motors are of silicon steel construction with double sealed bearings, ensuring long, quiet, reliable and maintenance-free operation. Fantasia motor housings are of metal or wood construction. All metal surfaces are powder coated or plated and lacquered to give a permanent seal and prevent tarnishing. All models operate on 230 volt / 50 cycle electricity supply. The power rating of our fan motors range from 60 – 75 watts with 3 forward and 3 reverse speeds. Fan running costs are less than running a 100w light bulb for the same period. Installing a Fantasia fan is similar to installing a light fitting but you must ensure that the fan blade tips are at least 7” (18cm) from any obstruction such as a sloping roof or beam. Blades should be mounted at least 7ft 6” (2.3m) from the floor. Ceiling fans can be installed in any room, except bathrooms. In conservatories or rooms with higher ceilings a drop rod and conversion kit may be required. Wall controls and remote controls are also available. DC MOTOR The addition of the DC motor Alpha fan to our range demonstrates our commitment to developing efficient, effective fans. The Alpha’s control system takes your household power supply and converts this to a low voltage supply for the windings. The ‘Brushless’ DC (BLDC) motor has permanent magnets which respond to the varying DC signals from the control system that in turn generate the motion required of a fan. This means lower heat dissipation, quieter operation and lower magnetic interference. A greater degree of speed control can be applied to DC motors and the Alpha offers 6 forward and 6 reverse speeds; twice that of a normal fan. ENVIRONMENT Protection of the environment in which we live and operate is part of Fantasia’s values and principles. We consider care for the environment as one of our key responsibilities and an important part of the way in which we do business. Our 2008 brochure is printed on FSC Certified stock which ensures that the paper comes only from well managed forests. All new office paper we buy is 100% recycled and the cardboard boxes we buy are made of 60% recycled material. We strive to protect the environment by limiting our contribution to pollution of land, air, and water, seeking to keep wastage to a minimum and maximising our efficient use of materials and resources. We are energy conscious when looking for new product and are at the forefront of environmentally friendly product development, introducing a DC motor fan for 2008 which uses 60% less power consumption than a standard fan. The winter setting on our ceiling fans re-circulates warm air trapped at ceiling level, eliminating cold spots and draughts and distributing room heat without creating a cooling draft. Used correctly, a fan can save as much as 10% on energy bills during winter months. |
