The new Fanco Gaia DC is a high performing symbol of natural beauty and elegance. The fan features FSC Certified Solid timber blades and a biobased plastic motor housing as part of its carefully considered manufacturing process – an Australian first.
Visually, the fan features three beautifully curved solid timber blades that are superbly complemented by the textured Ecru motor. This combination of natural timber and Ecru exudes natural elegance and helps the fan delicately blend into its surroundings. It just feels more subtle than a ‘white’ motor. The uncomplicated shape of the motor housing also contributes to the elegant design, we feel it looks cleaner than a traditional fan with a visible extension rod and ceiling canopy. Available in two sizes and three model options, including with an integrated LED light or with a motor cap, both promote a continuation of the motor shape down through the blades.
In terms of performance, the fan is worthy of its top spot. Featuring an energy efficient DC motor, the 48” version (well suited for bedrooms) consumes only 1 watt on the lowest speed, practically speaking if you run it for 8 hours a day all year, the cost for the whole year is less than $1. Both sizes offer 6 selectable speeds, and the larger 54” version offers exceptionally high airflow on the highest speed (14,870 m3/hr). The Gaia also operates in virtual silence, especially on the gentle lower speeds. The two sizes make it a great fan for bedroom/living room continuity.
Finally, the Gaia is available with a class leading dimmable CCT LED light. The light kit is also user replaceable, meaning you can buy a spare along with your fan for ultimate peace of mind. If a replacement is required, it can be performed without the need for an electrician, further contributing to the longevity of the product.
In summary, the Gaia is the complete package! Sustainably produced, energy efficient, quiet and high performing. All backed by the Fanco 8-year motor warranty.
